he trip we suggest begins in Florence: choose a room in the Grand Hotel Baglioni, the city residence of the Princes Carrega Bertolini, and feel the cradle of the Italian Renaissance.
Then, like a modern pilgrim, make your way along the ancient Via Chiantigiana toward Siena.
About halfway along the road, you will chance upon a boulevard of cypresses clambering a hillock on which a solitary bell-tower rises: follow it. Surrounding the eighteenth century villa is the ancient hamlet, Borgo di Pietrafitta.
How you spend the day there depends only on which desire you wish to fulfill. But don’t stop here.
Taking up the trail again, you will pass the Ghibellina Siena, leaving behind the dry clay and reaching the land of Maremma, where water and land meet.
Leaving the Grand Hotel Bastiani, a hotel located in the historic center of Grosseto, you may decide to immerge into the pristine Parco dell’Uccellina, following the paths among animals, beaches and wetlands; or set out in search of traces of civilizations of the past.
If, however, water is your natural element, direct your steps toward the pine forest of Roccamare, between Castiglione della Pescaia and Punta Ala, and simply let yourself be pampered, choosing the vacation of your dreams. Hotel Roccamare, the Residence Roccamare and the Park Hotel Zibellino offer the formula best suited to your needs; nature, with a limpid sea and the islands of the Tuscan archipelago within view, will do the rest.
