Poggio Maremonti is located in the Tuscan Maremma, on a hill behind the medieval borgo of Scarlino, just 10 km from the beach and the new tourist marina. Originally an old barn, it was completely renovated in 2018, with local stone, wooden beams and the purple-coloured plaster typical of the Maremma farmhouses of the last century for the exterior. The interior, on the other hand, is in a contemporary style where natural light is the protagonist: large French windows, high ceilings, bleached beams, stoneware of champagne stone effect. The particular location of the villa offers guests the opportunity to enjoy, on the same day, both the sea and the green hills of the Tuscan Maremma. The Bandite di Scarlino Nature Reserve starts just a short distance from the property and extends to the coast, with numerous possibilities for excursions on foot or by mountain bike, offering a wonderful view over the Tuscan hills with centuries-old olive trees, protected cork oaks, chestnut woods and vineyards. Less than 10 minutes away by car are the beaches of the Gulf of Follonica, whose sea has had the Blue Flag award for years. In the elegant tourist port of Marina di Scarlino it is possible to rent boats for excursions to the islands of the Tuscan archipelago: Elba, Giglio and Giannutri. The famous beach of Cala Violina is easily accessible for a day dedicated to wonderful and emotional marine excursions. The villa is 15 minutes from the Pisa-Rome highway exit while just 10 minutes away by car is Bagno di Gavorrano with services and shops.Interior:
