“Civitella and Upper Maremma“, an entry by
KarinaS:
Hi,
we went to Civitella almost two years ago, and since then, this little hamlet is in our thoughts! Hopefully, next year we will go back. We rented a house from the owner, Casina di Rosa (http://www.casinadirosa.it), and loved it.
The village is on a hilltop, with beautiful sights. It is in a region which (as the owners sais) is “out of the Tuiscan sun” and I add, that’s great!
It is not too touristy, not at all isolate. On the contrary: it is very convenient to many diverse must sees. It is very easy to visit both the region of Siena (Val d’Orcia, Crete, Chianti, etc) and the region of Grosseto (Maremma, Etruscan area, the beach… mmmh!).
If you go to this area, rent a car. We went with our car, from München. You miss a lot if you don’t have a car. And go to the local restaurant, la locanda, because the chef is great and very nice!
Upper Maremma is really highly recommended, and one of the most beautiful places in Italy we have ever visited, and excellent if you want to sightsee and relax on the beach. By the way, there are free natural hot springs in the woods nearby: really a great experience. I think they are called Petriolo or something similar.
Tschüss!
Karina S.
