Maremma today showcases all its unspoiled nature with strong contrasts and amazing, fascinating colours. The medieval towns are the jewels in the crown of time, the fascinating encounter between tradition and the local food and wine.

Then, there is the sea with the most beautiful beaches in Italy, Cala Violina, in particular. There are peaceful, quiet paths from Etruscan times to explore on foot, by bike or on horseback where time slows down allowing you to enjoy these special moments to the full.

We are in Tuscany, of course. Wine is taken very seriously here and the amazing cellars of Rocca di Frassinello e Petra are a fine example of this, avant-garde architectural wonders as well as ambassadors of age-traditions and taste.

The air currents that are typical of the Tuscan climate often change from the north to the south of the island of Elba, with Mount Capanne acting as a sort of “watershed” from a weather point of view.

This is why there is a unique microclimate in the bay of Follonica where it is always sunny and with temperatures of 3-4°C higher than in other nearby destinations.
