Wild Camp Il Casettone

In the walled city of Grosseto, the Archaeological Museum and Art of Maremma exhibits Etruscan funerary urns and vases, Roman amphorae and medieval sacred objects. The Museum of Natural History of the Maremma explores the various landscapes and ecosystems of this Tuscan region. Spend a day at the seaside in Follonica (35 minutes’ drive), with its west-facing sandy beach – perfect for a spot of sunset watching (and to catch a glimpse of the island of Elba). Stroll along the Lungomare promenade with a gelato, then head to the MAGMA Museum of Arts Cast Iron Maremma, in a repurposed foundry. The medieval city of Siena (50 minutes) spreads around the iconic Piazza del Campo, site of the annual Palio bareback horse race. The Duomo di Siena is renowned for its interior of black and white marble stripes, while the Opera della Metropolitana museum houses sculptures, stained glass and paintings.
