SURROUNDINGS at Gemma & Tonino's Farm
Gemma and Tonino's is in 'La Maremma', up in the Tuscan hills, and 3 km down a little
lane.
You are welcome to wander beyond the farm itself and there are plentiful country walks to
discover. There is a riding school a little way up the lane. Scuba, sailing, climbing, tennis, cultural, arts, visits and so on can be easily arranged. By bus or car it's half an hour to beaches, (some of which are part of national parks), stunning thermal hot springs, and picturesque Tuscan renaissance/mediaeval villages perched on hills. Historic cities within an hour or so need no introduction: Pisa, Florence, Rome(2hrs), Sienna...
TRANSPORT
Flights are not included but can be very cheap: Fly to nearest airports Rome, Pisa, Florence. All are about 2 hours away. Florence is convenient, and is so beautiful to visit, but is more pricey.
Milan, Bologna (less well known and well worth a visit), or other portals further away are another option, if you have plenty of time for onward travel by train (unlike at home, trains are relatively cheap in Italy and reliable.)
Ryanair.com, easyjet.co.uk & opodo.com all offer very good rates.
PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Trains in Italy are very good value, they cost a fraction of comparable journeys in the UK. Trains run to Grosseto, the nearest town. There is a bus from Grosseto to Scansano, the nearest village. We can pick you up from there.
DRIVING
Car hire is recommended. It is normally cheaper to organise it from the UK.
Please let us know if you would like us to introduce you to others for car sharing, car hire and splitting fuel costs etc.
Scansano is the nearest village, inland from Grosseto, the nearest town. From Scansano we are about 3 km down the road to Orbetello and then about 3-4km down a track. When you book we will send detailed instructions.
