Today, more than ever, the Maremma
is the perfect choice for the romantic traveller. It offers a
mixture of ancient civilizations, enduring local traditions,
lush landscapes and numerous nature reserves.
All of this is accompanied by an outstanding culinary and wine-making
tradition. Each visit to the Maremma is a new experience with new
discoveries. There are long stretches of fully equipped beaches
of fine sand accompanied by lush pine forests, tiny coves with
sweet sounding names and crystal-clear water, deserted beaches
against natural havens, uncontaminated islands in an enchanted
sea, villages and castles that are austere and festive at the
same time, gentle landscapes brimming with history and natural
wonders.
The Maremma also means being among people who have always
gathered the fruit of the land and enjoyed being together in
every season; a special and inviting atmosphere for the visitor
at all times of the year.
Maremma beaches
The coast boasts of modern tourist ports and professionally
organized scuba diving schools that are attended by diving
enthusiasts throughout the year. At the same time, antique
skills have not been forgotten and are still practiced by expert
maestri d'ascia (boat builders) who transmit their great love
and respect for the sea through their antique art.
You can breathe the fragrance of the sea and earth all year
long in the Maremma thanks to trekking and mountain bike
itineraries that take you to splendid natural terraces and
exhilarating excursions on horseback.
Few other parts of Italy have so many charming villages so
easily and quickly reachable from the coast. Often these
villages have their origins in the Etruscan or Roman
civilizations or are veritable gems of Medieval architecture.
Yet another aspect of the Maremma is its extraordinarily rich
culinary tradition with both sea and inland specialties,
accompanied by the Mediterrenean aroma of its olive oil and
famed DOC wines.
Learn for yourself just how good the Maremma can be for you.
