Therefore, it is our concern that you as a guest can enjoy as much of your free time as possible in experiencing nature. You are also welcome to help with this, be it in the vegetable garden, flower and herb garden or in the olive grove.

The Maremma is the center of the ancient Etruscans, place of work of artists such as Niki de Saint Phalle (Giardino dei Tarocchi, Daniel Spoerri and the sound artist Paul Fuchs.
Getting there
For long-distance journeys, we recommend travelling there and back by train. Destination stations are Grosseto or Montepescali. We will be happy to assist you in finding good timetable connections at reasonable prices.
Of course, you are also welcome to bring your own car.
