The natural park of Maremma is a precious gem in the beauty of the Italian landscape: a set of ecosystems where wild environments combine with anthropogenic landscapes, inhabited by men since ancient times. Archaeologists in fact confirm that this area was inhabited since prehistoric times, probably because of the abundance of metals in the soil. Even today this area is kept in balance retaining its wonderful biodiversity. Here forests alternate with sandy beaches, fossil dunes and Mediterranean maquis; the oaks accompany the mastic tree, heather and hawthorn. Towards the Monti dell'Uccellina bay leaf, black hornbeam and maple trefoil can be found. In this wonderful park rare plants grow, such as the dwarf palm, and an amazing variety of wild orchids bloom. The pine forests extend close to the mouth of the Ombrone river and reach the sea, where junipers, lilies and chamomile sea fetch us right to the beach. In addition to such floral richness there is also an important fauna presence: wild boars, deers, roe deers and foxes, but also more than 270 species of birds inhabit the park and nest there. We wish you to spend a few days in this magical and precious place to experience the rebirth thanks to the natural beauty of living in harmony with the environment.
