Europe > Italy > Tuscany > Civitella Marittima (Grosseto)

The legend says that Earl Ardengo founded Civitella around 1000. Originally called Civitella Ardenghesca, it was renamed Civitella Marittima due to its pure air coming from the sea and it has some of the best view in the Maremma.

Located between Siena and Grosseto, Civitella is easily reachable from the north and from the central Italy and it is near many interesting places.

The territory around Civitella is one of the wildest of the region and even Italy.

Excursions:


In the surrounding area of Civitella you can find lonely beaches and seaside resorts like the Marina di Alberese in the Maremma Park, Castiglione della Pescaia, Punta Ala and the islands of Giglio and Elba. The hot sulphur baths of Petriolo are at about 10 km from Civitella. There is a wealth of art in places like Siena, Montalcino, Pienza; there are the etruscan ruins of Roselle and Vetulonia.
The unspoilt landscape is one of the outstanding features of this territory: the Val di Farma area, which is our best horse trek's itinerary, is rich in virgin hills and forests,where many wild animals live,such as the wolf and the otter.
The Farma and Merse rivers, which run through the Regional Park, offer beautiful views, like the San Galgano Abbey and the Belagaio and Luriano Castles, the Montarrenti and the Spannocchia Castle and the Pia Bridge.The Val d'Orcia area is another horse trek's itinerary,rich in history and art.Another itinerary is located where the Butteri work on horseback.
