Podere L'Aione
Scansano (Grosseto)
- Traveller rating:
The farm holiday complex lies in the heart of the Tuscan Maremma. It is 29km from the sea and 27km from the Saturnia thermal baths where the sulphurous waters can be used either publicly or privately. Countless medieval villages in the surrounding areas such as Pitigliano, Magliano (Tuscany) and Capalbio are also just waiting to be discovered.
The province of Grosseto is famous for the quality of its food and wine and boasts as many as nine Doc (Controlled Designation of Origin) wines. One of these is Morellino di Scansano, recently upgraded to Docg (the g means guaranteed) and Podere l'Aione is one of its producers. There are numerous village festivals in the area celebrating such local produce as tortelli (filled pasta), different cheeses, and game.
The Maremma coast, which can be seen from the farm, provides ample bathing facilities. There are free beaches like Alberese in the Maremma natural park, or beaches which provide paid bathing facilities such as Talamone, Ansedonia or Castiglione della Pescaia. The area around the farm offers opportunities for walks or cycle-rides as well as woodland treks on the farm property, where guests can enjoy searching for mushrooms, asparagus, chestnuts and other natural produce at the appropriate time of year. Still the most important feature, however, is the peacefulness of the place, the tranquillity and the unique location, which make it the perfect place for a totally relaxing holiday.
