Grosseto Province Essentials

The province of Grosseto encompasses the heart of Tuscany’s Maremma region, characterized by a blend of Etruscan archaeological sites and medieval fortifications. This selection features the natural thermal cascades of Saturnia, the dramatic tufa-rock architecture of Pitigliano, and the coastal nature reserves of the Parco Regionale della Maremma. From the volcanic heights of Mount Amiata to the pristine Mediterranean beaches of Feniglia and Cala Martina, these sites highlight the area's transition from ancient Roman settlements to Renaissance military strongholds.
