MARINA's surroundings
Marina's is in 'La Maremma', high up in the Tuscan hills.
You are welcome to wander beyond the farm itself and there are plentiful country walks
to discover. Riding, scuba, sailing, climbing, cycling, 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 (approx.
2 hrs), 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 advertise one way tickets (not including taxes) to Rome (£29.99), and Pisa
(£29) within easy reach. In reality though at the time of writing flights were available
from Ryan air from £89-£159 return. Opodo.com was also very reasonable.
PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Trains in Italy are very good value, they cost a fraction of comparable journeys in the UK.
Trains run to Grossetto, the nearest town. There is a bus from Grosseto to Montorgiali,
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.
Montorgiali is the nearest village, inland from Grosseto, the nearest town. Marina's is
about 3 km from Montorgiali. When you book we will send detailed instructions.
