The restored farmhouses of Tenuta San Carlo are located in an 1000 acre private estate on the Mediterranean coast. A perfect place for a quiet, romantic and peaceful retreat in Tuscany, Tenuta San Carlo offers its guests home-cooked meals, home-grown products, outdoor trekking, and horseback riding. Tenuta San Carlo is in the heart of Maremma, which extends along the center and southern coast of Tuscany. The nearest city, Grosseto, and towns, Principina Mare and Marina di Grosseto, offer easy access to all necessary facilities including bank, post office, pharmacy, shops, bars, and many restaurants of traditional Italian food.
Sea and Nature
The beach is easily accessible by a tree-lined, private road through the property. The beach and the property are incorporated in the gorgeous Natural Park of Uccellina with its long stretches of secluded sandy beaches and miles of untouched forests and marshlands. As a part of this nature reserve, Tenuta San Carlo is the home of many species of Tuscan wildlife such as deer, wild boar, horses, and birds. Unique animal sightings, for those interested in wildlife and bird watching, are frequent and exhilarating. Dinners under the stars on beautiful summer nights bring the true Tuscan traditions together with the true Tuscan natural setting. Tenuta San Carlo is a nature retreat where health and peace of mind can be restored.
Culture and Day Trips
The beautiful coast of Maremma has made the area of Grosseto particularly attractive during spring and summer while in late autumn and winter it remains a wonderful place for combining cultural experiences and outdoor activities in nature with the charm of the Tuscan way of life. It is the ideal strategic home base for many exciting day trips. Rome, Pisa, and Florence are reachable by car or by train in 2 hours. Siena is only 45 minutes away. Also nearby are spectacular archeological sites such as Roselle and Vetulonia, while from port towns such as Castiglione della Pescaia and Port Ercole ferry boats run daily to and from the islands of Giglio, Giannutri, and Elba. Smaller jewels of the Tuscan region such as Manciano and Pitigliano offer traditional and exquisite exposure to Tuscany’s medieval history. The healing thermal baths of Saturnia and Viterbo are a great way to unwind, and, of course, the Tuscan wineries where you can taste the excellent wines of Morellino di Scansano, Brunello di Montalcino, and the wines of the Chianti region.
