Description

Accommodations for four (4) people in one of the Tuscan Resort properties in Manciano. Each Casa features two bedrooms with views of the rolling countryside, gardens, and the Tuscan hillside. The amenities include one or two baths with showers, a kitchen, and a lovely living room area. 


The houses are situated in the ancient town of Manciano which rises on the top of a hill open to the four winds with a breathtaking view in all directions: from the Amiata to the Fiora Valley, from Talamone to the beaches of Montalto di Castro, from the Argentario to the islands of Giglio and Montecristo. Manciano extends for 37,203 square kilometers in a hilly zone situated between the valleys of Albegna and Fiora.


Manciano is in the heart of the Tuscan Maremma with the enchanting seaside villages of Porto Santo Stefano and Porto Ercole only 30 minutes away. Manciano is a small town with a big atmosphere. The first week of May sees local cheese tasting in the Mercatino del Centro Storico together with the enticingly named Merenda Maggiolina. The strawberry festival takes place at the end of the month. Early September is the Festa delle Cantine which celebrates the local wine. It starts with a traditional night torch parade on horseback. Go into mid October for Incontrimuci a tavola con i funghi or local mushroom harvest and mid December for Seguendo un filo d'olio or the presentation of the new extra virgin olive oil.


Beyond Manciano are the medieval hill towns of Saturnia, considered by some to be the cradle of Italian civilization, with an Etruscan Roman and medieval past. However, even more than its history, this area is known for its world class spa, Terme di Saturnia and for its hot sulfur springs which have been gushing since the Roman period with a constant temperature of 99.5 degrees F.
