Parco Avventura Selva del Buffardello is a great option for families. Try out the rope park and let the adreniline flow! There's levels for all ages and the park itself is great for pretty nature walks and a picnic.

This really is worth a visit !

A must-see destination in Tuscany for the whole family - especially with children. Entering the Tarot garden you will be immersed in a world halfway between fantasy and reality being amazed by sculptures that are twelve to fifteen metres high and decorated with mirror mosaics, precious glass from Murano and ceramic pieces. Get to know more about the authors of these structures and find our tips to visit this impressive and coloured park in the heart of Maremma https://bit.ly/TarotGardenTuscany

See a snipet of a 5* review of our new property La Tinaia. It's a new luxury 1 bedroom apartment with private pool and at only €575 per week it is an absolute steal. To top it all off the nearest restaurant is only 5 minutes away. The current photographs really don't do La Tinaia justice.

5* review

"It is hard to find words to describe the beauty and tranquillity of this hidden gem. The apartment is set in the grounds of the hamlet at the side of the mountain which have been beautifully designed and provide an idyllic setting which is peaceful where time seems
to stop, and worries slip away... This is the perfect escape."

Please get in touch with us for more details
