Why Scarlino & Maremma
Maremma: Tuscany at its
most authentic
The Tuscan Maremma is Italy's best-kept secret. While Cinque Terre and Amalfi are flooded with tourists, those in the know enjoy miles of deserted beaches, crystal-clear sea and authentic Tuscan life here.
Scarlino is a medieval hilltop village overlooking the Gulf of Follonica. Below it lies Puntone di Scarlino — a small seaside hamlet right on the water, where our apartment is located. Life here is simple, slow and beautiful.
