Various information
The Il Sassone Estate is situated in the heart of the Maremma region in Tuscany, a captivating and untamed land rich in history, nature, and authenticity. This area of southern Tuscany is renowned for its unspoiled landscapes, featuring gentle hills, stretches of Mediterranean scrub, ancient forests, and cultivated fields that change color with the seasons. It is a place of slow rhythms, deeply connected to its rural traditions, where every corner tells an age-old story of the bond between humanity and nature.
Just a few minutes from the estate lies Massa Marittima, one of the most enchanting medieval towns in the region, known for its stunning Romanesque cathedral overlooking the square, its cobblestone streets, historic palaces, and the authentic atmosphere that has stood the test of time. The town center also boasts artisan shops, museums, and delightful opportunities to savor local flavors in a setting full of charm.
The Tyrrhenian coast is easily accessible by car; in about twenty minutes, you can reach the beaches of Follonica, Castiglione della Pescaia, Cala Violina, and Punta Ala, all famous for their clear waters, shaded pine forests, and the harmony of the coastal scenery. Each stretch of coastline has its own unique features, from fine sandy coves to cliffs plunging into the deep blue, perfect for those seeking relaxation or water sports.
The inland area, with its small villages scattered among the hills—such as Tatti, Roccatederighi, Scarlino, and Montemassi—retains a quiet and poetic spirit. Here, you can stroll through vineyards and olive groves, discover castles, abbeys, and Romanesque churches, visit wineries that showcase the wine culture, and taste local products that best express the agricultural heritage of the region.
Maremma is also a place of pure nature: the Maremma Natural Park, the Bandite di Scarlino Reserve, and the WWF Oasis of Burano are just a few of the protected areas where you can hike, spot wildlife, or simply enjoy the tranquility. For horse riding enthusiasts, these countryside landscapes offer one of the most authentic settings to ride, with white roads and paths winding through forests and pastures.
Despite being surrounded by greenery, the estate's location allows for easy travel to explore the entire province of Grosseto, as well as nearby Siena, Mount Amiata, or the Saturnia hot springs, creating an itinerary that combines culture, landscape, and wellness.
