A little exploring. A little slowing down.

I'll stay at the countryside agriturismo with you. It will be our base for discovering Maremma together, with room for good meals, village wandering, and quieter afternoons.

Rome Fiumicino is our arrival and departure airport, with private transfers planned both ways. There is no Rome touring in this trip.

One signature journey

  1. Day 1

    Welcome to Maremma

    We'll meet at Rome Fiumicino Airport for a private transfer to our countryside agriturismo. Settle in, take a breath, and get to know one another over a welcome aperitivo.
