The holiday house “ la fornace” is surrounded by the wild nature of the Tuscan Maremma and there it is never a shortage of things to do and places to visit.  The street that leads to the seaside is below in the valley; you can’t see it from the holiday house, concealed by a wall of lush vegetation, growing around the estate. You can only hear the wind direction of the bypassing cars in the distance, which doesn’t disturb at all.  The coastline of the Tuscan Maremma is 130 km of a marvelous natural spectacle, unlimited, fine sandy beaches, but also rocky cliffs where the wild weaves break on. Broad pinewoods near the beaches offer pure relax under their shadows for your lazing summer afternoon. Grosseto is the chief town and it is only few minutes drive away. With its 80.000 inhabitants, it is a lovely city with its historical medieval centre, the beautiful cathedral, churches, palazzos, squares, shops, coffee bars, ice cream parlors and all that can make a Tuscan holiday unforgettable.  Marina di Grosseto is only few minutes drive, directly in front of the sea, deep in a luxuriant pine-wood near the Maremma natural Park, with its fine sandy beaches and Mediterranean charm where you can experience an "all sea" holiday, relaxing, sunbathing, in one of the numerous equipped bathing establishments, and having fun with the many water sports that can be practiced, as sail, kitesurf and water scooter. We recommend visiting the Maremma natural Park, about 40.000 hectares of territory used as nature reserve. This biggest park extends from Principina a Mare 'till Talamone. Both flora and wildlife are very rich: luxuriant mediterranean vegetation with myrtle, strawberry tree and dwarf palm, and many species of birds such as magpies, sparrows, dappled-grey, goldfinches, barns, wild and little owls, green wood peckers, buzzards, kestrels and of wild animals such as hares, hedgehogs,  foxes, badgers, porcupines, roe bucks and wild boars.  On the flat areas of the Uccellina hills and on the plains near the sea, maremman cattle and horses are bred free, a spectacle worth to be seen. It really gives you the idea of the wild old Maremma, how this region was a century ago. Florence, Siena, Pisa, Livorno … can be easily reached in a day tour and a good idea could also be a shipping trip to Isola del Giglio, from Porto Ercole. If you have children a “ must” is a visit to the “Acqua Village” in Follonica, a water park opened from Juny to September, which offers a lot of attractions and where you will have a lot of fun. For your shopping the nearest village is Compagnatico ( 4km)- you can see it set on the top of a hill from your holiday house- where you can find few little shops but a very famous Restaurant, “ la Locanda del Glicine”, a Vip’s destination, where you can taste typical dishes of Maremma in an enchanting setting.
