Two days of relaxation and nature in Maremma, advice on where to sleep and where to eat, what to see at the Maremma Regional Park, but also at the Alberese Beach and the Orbetello Lagoon.
La Maremma it is a place of relaxation, nature and beauty. Recommended all year round, a little less in the busiest period (August), it offers itineraries and activities for all tastes. Beaches, trekking, archaeological areas, naturalistic oases.
With an extension of about 8000 hectares and 25 km of coastline, 5 integral reserves and 4 sites of community interest (including the coastal dunes of the Uccellina Park), the Maremma Regional Park, established in 1975, can be visited in all seasons and by any means: on foot, by bike, by canoe, on horseback, with donkey, by carriage. With the entry into force of the discipline against forest fires imposed by the Tuscany region, in the summer the Park can be visited only with an authorized guide, while access is free in the other seasons.
The proposed itineraries are numerous, each of which deepens the peculiarities of the territory, environmental and ethnographic. You can walk beautiful paths among the historic pine forests, the blue sea, the olive trees, the secular holm oaks, the Mediterranean scrub and the wonderful dunes, as well as among the remains of towers, abbeys, settlements dating back to different historical periods. The Maremma Park is truly a beautiful and regenerating place that is still little known.
For lovers of the blue sea and free beaches close to pine forests, the Alberese beach it is an enchanting place, reachable also by a nice walk, by bicycle and, in high season, only by shuttle organized by the Maremma Regional Park and departing from the Alberese visitor center.
To spend a few hours among the flora and fauna typical of this area, you can head towards the two WWF oases: the Orbetello lagoon and Lake Burano. The first, separated from the sea to the west and east by two strips of land of about 6 km and to the west byArgentario, is home to the village of the same name at its center, and is crossed by a long artificial bridge. Three channels allow it to communicate with the sea and it is a magical place where you can observe, especially at sunset, numerous species of birds, including the knight of Italy, the flamingo, cormorant, several species of ducks, the osprey. A walk through the streets of the town of Orbetello and along the lagoon is an opportunity for rest and amazement.
There are also places of cultural and archaeological interest such as theAbbey of San Rabano, Torre Uccellina, the sites of Umbro Flumen and Spolverino. The sign of man is clearly visible in this territory that does not hide its traces but rather has tried to make it rich and the reclamation carried out since the nineteenth century onwards that radically changed the landscape and the life of this piece of Tuscany are a masterful example. .
To spend a relaxing weekend, a few minutes from the sea but immersed in the cultivated fields, theCarpine farmhouse it is the ideal place. The two young managers will be able to welcome you in a kind and unobtrusive way in their apartments equipped with everything and excellent even for longer stays. The farm has received from the Maremma Regional Park the qualification of environmental excellence thanks to the use of alternative energies, organic production and sustainable use of water.
