Horseback riding tours
Horseback riding tours are surely one of the most exciting activities to do in order to discover the Maremma, among paths which are divided among beaches, grass fields, forests and history.
The agritourism La Collina degli Olivi is located a few kilometres from the Maremma Regional Park, from the beaches of the Thyrrenian coast and from the Islands of the Tuscan Archipelago (Giglio Island and Giannutri).
This part of Tuscany is the wildest and the most untouched, rich of natural attractions such as the Uccellina Park and some WWF reserves.
Tradition, culture and environment friendly are the key words for a sustainable tourism.
Horseback riding tours are surely one of the most exciting activities to do in order to discover the Maremma, among paths which are divided among beaches, grass fields, forests and history.
Something to try especially for those who love nature. Exploring the Ombrone river starting from the Maremma Park is a beautiful worth seeing experience.
The Maremma is particularly suitable for discovering its beauty, through cycling routes which connect sites of touristic interest.
Food and wine are two of the delights of the Maremma. Visiting wine farms, companies who produce olive oil, cheese and cured meats is definitely a great destination in order to do tastings and perhaps bring some Maremma back to your way home.
The villages of the Maremma are places where one can walk head up admiring towers, alleys, monasteries and churches, historical walls and perhaps smell the scent of some traditional dishes such as the typical “tortelli maremmani”.
The tradition of the “Buttero” is one of the greatest landmarks of the Maremma of the yesteryear. The Buttero was the one who followed and cured the wild cattle, that is the free cattle, from dawn till dusk riding his horse, loyal friend and life companion. The Butteri show is therefore one of the things you definitely should not miss before heading back home.
The Maremma Regional Park is a protected natural area and was the first Park of the Tuscany Region, established with the L.R. 65 of the 5 of June 1975. It is one of the most interesting destinations of the province of Grosseto. At its heart there are some coastal areas among te most beautiful and untouched of the maremman coast.
It is situated in the historic centre of Grosseto and it is a destination full of things to see, you can find rooms dedicated to earth science, minerals, rocks and fossils tell the complex and ancient history of this area.
The archaeological area of Roselle includes ruins of the ancient city of Etruscan origins of Roselle, it is possible to reach the area through a new and safe cycling path which connects the city of Grosseto with the excavations.
Saturnia thermal baths represent one of the most unique beauties of the Maremma. They are composed by a single thermal spring which gushes at a constant temperature of 37.5 grades.
The village, perched on the promontory, overlooks the sea, lifting us with breath-taking sunsets. We recommend visiting the Red House (La Casa Rossa) and the Natural Reserve Diaccia Botrona where it is possible to admire flamingos and practice bird watching.
One of the most beautiful beaches of the Maremma: pale sand, crystal clear sea and the untouched nature of the natural reserve. The beach is located at the heart of a Natural Reserve and the parking lot for cars and motorbikes has limited space, therefore we recommend you to arrive early in the morning.
