Maremma, Tuscany: good to know
Where is the Maremma?
In the south-west of Tuscany, mostly in the province of Grosseto, between the Tyrrhenian coast and Monte Amiata, running south to the border with Lazio.
What is there to do in the Maremma?
Bathe in the free thermal pools at Saturnia, walk the tufa towns of Pitigliano, Sorano and Sovana, explore the coastal Maremma Regional Park, swim off Monte Argentario, and visit the wineries of Morellino di Scansano and Montecucco.
Is the Maremma worth it compared with the Val d'Orcia?
If you want space and fewer visitors, yes. The views are less iconic and the landscape wilder, and the Val d'Orcia and Montalcino are close enough for a day trip from the northern Maremma.
How do you get to the Maremma?
By car. The inland hills are about two hours from Florence airport and two and a half to three from Rome Fiumicino. Grosseto, the main town, is on the coastal railway between Rome and Pisa.
When is the best time to visit the Maremma?
May to June and September to October. July and August are hot and the coast gets busy, while the thermal pools at Saturnia stay warm all year.
