TUSCAN MAREMMA
Deep in the southernmost reaches of the region, this land of untamed marshlands and dramatic terrain is largely unknown to any but the most avid Tuscany explorers. However, with the advent of agriturismo , more and more intrepid travelers are dicovering the natural wonders of this area while enjoying simple rustic living and lodging on these working wine estates and farms. For the more sybartic, glamourous world-famous coastal resorts like Porto Ercole and Punta Ala never fail to enchant. Increasingly popular spa tourism also brings a steady stream of holiday-makers to the beautiful thermal spa town of Saturnia. With high quality accommodations, gourmet restaurants, Etruscan archaeological sites and the stunning towns of Pitigliano and Sorano - dramatically positioned atop shear-sided volcanic buttes - all nearby, the Maremma makes an ideal base for a delightful interlude.
