Profile


 
The small hamlet of Caminino lies within the walls of an ancient abbey dating back to the 11th century. Located on a hillside resembling a large natural amphitheater sloping lazily towards the plains below, it offers stunning views ofthe sea or the island of Giglio.
 
In the heart of Tuscany’s WildWest, La Maremma, Caminino is surrounded by history, artsand traditions from bygone times. Since 1873, the Locatelli-Marrucchi family have worked this olive grove, which is one of the most beautiful in Maremma; you’ll certainly want to buy some of the extra virgin oil they produce.
 
And just half an hour away, the lovely Tuscan seacoast awaits you for a swim. A multitude of interesting places lie in the vicinity of Caminino. Thereare Etruscan and Roman archeological sites, the most importantof which (Roselle, the Crypt of S. Giuniano, Vetulonia and S.Galgano) all are within a 40-minute drive.

There are
plenty of medieval towns, including Sovana, Massa Marittima, Pitigliano and many more. The National Nature Park of Uccellina is 30 minutes away; and nearby are the Oasis of Lake Buriano, MountAmiata, several thermal baths (among which the world-famous Termedi Saturnia) or beaches (some of Tuscany's best shores are only 20 miles away).
 
Golfcourses, tennis courts and horseback riding all lie within a very reasonable distance from Caminino, and classes in painting, watercolor and maremmana cuisine can be organized upon request.

At 6km you can find everything you need, bank, post office, pharmacy, grocery,shops ecc., together with very nice trattoria where you can taste
the very good local food.
