Circolo Golf Maremma
Speaks most clearly to travelers who love a more natural
Circolo Golf Maremma speaks most clearly to travelers who love a more natural, less polished and more deeply rooted side of Tuscany. Here golf is woven into a landscape of bright light, Mediterranean vegetation and unhurried rhythms, far from both social display and the rigidity of more formal clubs. The course guides the player through an experience centered on continuity, environmental immersion and the simple pleasure of being outdoors, with an identity best understood as part of a wider journey through the coast, hill towns and cuisine of the Maremma. It is not a club built on international iconography, but a quality discovery for those wanting to encounter another face of Italian golf. Its strength lies in coherence with the territory: nothing feels artificial or designed purely to impress. That makes it especially memorable for travelers who value authenticity, nature and the kind of quiet luxury that comes from the quality of context rather than the quantity of built-in spectacle.

Exclusive Experiences
Secrets found in no guidebook, curated by our concierge.
I Butteri della Maremma: l'Ultima Mandria
The Butteri are Tuscan cowboys — the last in Europe still using 17th-century on-horseback herding techniques. The Alberese Agricultural Estate, managed by the Tuscany Region, maintains the last herd of white Maremmano cattle raised outdoors in the Maremma Park. The Butteri accept private guests in the morning during seasonal transhumance.
“Head buttero Marco Botti leads private groups of 4 during the wild cattle round-up in April: you ride with them for 3 hours through the Maremma scrub. This is not a tourist attraction — it is real work, and you are accepted only if you can actually ride.”
Le Macchiole: Paleo Rosso Verticale
Le Macchiole at Bolgheri represents Tuscany's answer to Petrus: the Paleo Rosso — pure Cabernet Franc — is among the 10 most sought-after Italian wines in the world. Eugenio Campolmi's wife, Cinzia Merli, has led the winery since 2002 and brings selected guests to the Bolgheri vineyards for the Paleo vertical in the underground cellar.
“Cinzia Merli opens the 1996 Paleo — the first commercially released pure vintage — only for those who bring a handwritten letter explaining their personal history with Cabernet Franc. She does not accept email bookings for this.”
Terme dell'Uccellina: l'Acqua Etrusca
The Caldana thermal springs in the heart of the Maremma were used by the Etruscans from the 7th century BC: the site is included in the Vetulonia excavation area. The Piccolo Spa Resort at Talamone offers treatments with Caldana thermal mud extracted from the historic springs: the protocols are certified by the Ministry of Health as arthritis therapy.
“The medical director organises the Etrusco circuit — 3 hours of thermal mud, sulphurous bath, and Maremma olive oil massage — only for private guests before public opening. Includes a visit to the 6th-century BC Etruscan well in the resort garden.”
Canapone — Cucina Maremmana Senza Compromessi
In Grosseto's Piazza Dante, Canapone has been serving genuine Maremma cooking for decades — acquacotta, wild boar stew, pappardelle with hare ragù. You don't come for the décor or the photos; you come to eat as people ate in this land a hundred years ago. One of the last trattorias where the menu follows the market, not the trends.
“Sit at the counter if you can — that's where the locals sit and the owner tells you the story behind each dish.”
Vetulonia — La Città Etrusca Ritrovata
Vetulonia was one of the most powerful cities of ancient Etruria, lost for millennia until a local enthusiast, Isidoro Falchi, rediscovered it in 1880. The archaeological site and the small civic museum bearing his name hold goldwork, bronzes, and burial goods from a civilization Rome itself feared. Climbing to the ancient village as the sun sets over Castiglione lake is an experience outside of time.
“The museum is small but the pieces are extraordinary — ask about the Tomba del Duce if it's not currently on display in the main hall.”
