Maremma, a land of contrasts and hidden wonders, offers the opportunity to explore authentic places, far from traditional tourist circuits. This uncontaminated corner of Tuscany is dotted with medieval villages perched on hills, wild beaches bathed by crystal-clear waters and natural landscapes that tell ancient stories. For those who want to try a unique experience, discovering hidden treasures and breathtaking views, Maremma is an unmissable destination.
The Natural Park of Maremma
A wild but gentle nature, which still preserves the treasures of its history: a large abandoned abbey, the grand ducal villa, the Butteri who continue the tradition of wild breeding of Maremma cattle.
The Natural Park of Maremma is the green heart of the region: here you can walk along beautiful paths, spot fallow deer and wild boar, discover historical remains and reach hidden coves.
It is the ideal place for those who love adventure, photography, and the silence of authentic nature. Within the park, each season offers something different: spring blooms, summer colours, autumn migrations.
The wild beaches of the Maremma
Forget the rows of sunbeds and crowded private beaches. In Maremma, the sea is still free, silent, natural. The beaches look like something out of an art-house film, and you can often get there on foot, by bike or by secondary roads through pine forests and fields.
The beach of Marina di Alberese
Marina di Alberese, inside the Natural Park of Maremma, is a long, unspoilt beach accessed by a dirt road or shuttle bus. Here the sand is fine, the sea is clear, and only the wind, the scent of the Mediterranean scrub and the sound of the waves accompany you. There are no private beaches: it is the perfect place to get an authentic connection with nature.
Cala di Forno
Cala di Forno is even wilder: accessed by an hour walk path, the reward is unique: a bay nestled among the dunes, surrounded by woods inhabited by fallow deer and wild boar. Here, time seems to have stood still.
Feniglia
The Feniglia beach, near Orbetello, is a tongue of sand protected by a nature reserve. It can be crossed by bike along a track immersed in the pine forest. A paradise for those who like relaxation and movement.
The Rocchette
Le Rocchette beach, located North of Castiglione della Pescaia, offers a unique landscape with cliffs, golden sand and crystal-clear sea water.
Cala Violina
Set between two promontories in the heart of the Bandite di Scarlino Natural Reserve, Cala Violina is one of the most iconic beaches in the Maremma. Its clear, fine, almost musical sand - hence the name - and transparent waters make it a dream destination. It can only be reached on foot or by bike through a path in the woods.
Cala Civette
Not far from Cala Violina, but less travelled, is Cala Civette. Wider and even wilder, it is perfect for those seeking a corner of paradise without noise, without private beaches, without confusion. The sea here has emerald green hues and the pine wood offers a shelter in the hottest hours. The path to reach Cala Civette is a bit long, but absolutely worthwhile.
Cala Martina
Cala Martina is one of the most intimate coves on the Maremma coast, accessed by a walk through the woods from the Puntone di Scarlino. It is a pebble beach, with deep, crystal-clear waters, for snorkellers and for those looking for a really quiet place surrounded by nature.
The Hidden Villages of the Maremma
The Maremma is dotted with medieval villages that emerge among rolling hills and unspoilt landscapes. These historic centres offer a dip into the past with their cobbled streets, stone architecture and centuries-old traditions. Visiting these villages means discovering the authenticity of Tuscan life, of ancient places where time seems to have stood still
Sorano, Sovana e le Vie Cave
Sorano and Sovana are unique villages, where tuff stone is the protagonist. The houses, the streets, even the stairs seem to be carved in the rock. Here one breathes a suspended, intimate, almost magical atmosphere. Perfect for those who love walking and discover hidden squares, artisan workshops and breathtaking views.
The Vie Cave are ancient roads dug by the Etruscans, immersed in greenery, up to 20 metres deep. Walking along them is like travelling through time: the high walls, covered with moss and ferns, offer a unique experience, especially at sunset.
Vulci
Vulci is one of the most fascinating archaeological parks in the Maremma. Located between the hills and the river, it offers a nature trail among Etruscan and Roman ruins. You can explore the necropolis, cross the famous Ponte del Diavolo (Devil's Bridge) and visit the Castello della Badia, which houses an interesting archaeological museum.
The beauty here is the freedom: no queues, no noisy groups, just you, the history and the landscape. Perfect for a day in contact with the most ancient origins of this land.
Roselle
A few kilometers from Grosseto, Roselle preserves the remains of an ancient Roman city founded on Etruscan settlements. Walking among its ruins, it is possible to admire the Roman amphitheater, the baths and the Etruscan city walls, which offer a spectacular view of the Maremma.
It is the ideal place for a late afternoon visit, perhaps after a day at the beach, when the warm light of sunset lights up the stones in golden hues.
Roccatederighi
Roccatederighi is a small medieval village built on a peak of volcanic rock. Its houses seem to be born from the stone itself and the narrow streets wind through unexpected passages, arches, terraces and extraordinary views.
From the main belvedere, one dominates the entire Maremma down to the sea, with sunsets that are worth the trip. Little known and little visited, Roccatederighi is a must-see for its authenticity, silence and beauty
Montemerano
Small, cosy, harmonious: Montemerano is one of the most charming villages in the Maremma. Its small stone squares, flower-filled alleys and splendid Church of San Giorgio make it a true architectural gem.
It is perfect for a slow walk, hand in hand, perhaps with a stop in a wine shop for a glass of Morellino. A few kilometres away are also the famous Terme di Saturnia.
Your perfect base: Fattoria Maremmana
To experience all this with comfort and freedom, choose a structure that combines a strategic location, privacy and services dedicated to relaxation. Fattoria Maremmana, between Grosseto and Castiglione della Pescaia, is the ideal starting point to explore the less known Maremma.
Here you will find:
- Independent suites with private garden
- Five swimming pools
- A restaurant with typical Tuscan cuisine
- Silence, nature and plenty of time to rediscover the pleasure of slow travelling
The Maremma is waiting for you. Different, true, exciting.
If you want to escape the crowds, experience Tuscany with new eyes and collect authentic moments, this is the right place. And Fattoria Maremmana is your home away from home.
