Farmhouse Stay in the Maremma: From the Coast to the Tuscan Countryside

The Maremma Sea: Follonica and Cala Violina

Just a short drive from Agriturismo Capracotta is Follonica, a well-known seaside destination loved for its clear waters, wide sandy beaches, and well-kept seafront promenade. It’s the perfect spot for families and anyone looking to enjoy a relaxing day by the sea.

Among Tuscany’s most stunning beaches, Cala Violina stands out as one of the Maremma’s natural gems. This beautiful cove takes its name from the distinctive sound produced by its ultra-fine sand when you walk on it barefoot. Reached on foot or by bike via woodland trails, Cala Violina is ideal for those seeking unspoiled समुद and protected nature, with the option of guided excursions.

Etruscan Villages and Ancient History

Heading toward Castiglione della Pescaia, you’ll come across Vetulonia, an ancient Etruscan city dating back to the Iron Age. Perched on a hilltop, this village preserves sections of its defensive walls and an extensive necropolis, with monumental tombs such as the Diavolino and the Petrera—powerful reminders of its historical significance.

In the direction of Grosseto lies Roselle, one of the Maremma’s most fascinating archaeological sites. Etruscan in origin and later shaped by Roman and medieval eras, Roselle features an impressive amphitheater and major excavations set within a striking natural landscape.

Wild Nature and Protected Parks

Continuing south, a visit to the Maremma Natural Park—also known as Parco dell’Uccellina—is a must for anyone staying at a farmhouse in the Maremma. This vast WWF-protected oasis stretches along the coastline between the fortress of Talamone and the mouth of the Ombrone River.

The park offers scenic trails, wild beaches, rolling hills, pine forests, and abundant wildlife that can be observed peacefully, for a truly authentic encounter with free, untouched nature.
