The holiday home "La Fornace" is nestled in the pristine nature of the Tuscan Maremma, offering all the possibilities for an eventful vacation.
Below in the valley lies the road, which leads to the sea in no time, and although it is not visible from the holiday home due to the lush vegetation surrounding the estate, one can sometimes hear the distant traffic depending on the wind direction, but it is by no means disturbing.
The coast of the Tuscan Maremma is a 130 km spectacle of nature, with endless fine sandy beaches as well as steep cliffs where the waves of the Tyrrhenian Sea break. Extensive pine forests just behind the sandy beaches provide a cool retreat to spend hot afternoons, offering shade and pure relaxation.
The provincial capital Grosseto, with about 80,000 inhabitants and reachable in just a few minutes by car, is a beautiful city with countless monuments, churches, buildings, piazzas, cathedral, and much more. Beautiful shops, restaurants, cafés, and everything that makes a summer holiday in Tuscany lovable can be found here.
A few kilometers or minutes by car away is Marina di Grosseto, the seaside district with its fine sandy beaches, which will surely leave a lasting impression on holiday guests, offering Mediterranean flair and pure beach life.
An excursion to the nearby Parco Regionale della Maremma, the "Uccellina Nature Park," is highly recommended, where you can get an idea of what the Tuscan Maremma may have once looked like, with untouched, winding macchia forests, grazing (wild) horses, and cattle herds. The park extends over 10,000 hectares, and can be accessed from Albarese as well as Talamone; there are wild boars, wild cats, porcupines, turtles, wild ducks, and falcons to admire.
Also visit Pisa, Livorno, Siena, Montalcino, take a boat trip to the Isola di Giglio (from Porto Ercole), there are truly unlimited possibilities.
