Maremma House

The Maremma region on the southern coast of Tuscany is characterized by wide plains, gentle hills and the nearby sea. The architecture of the Maremma House refers directly to this landscape. Built over three levels, its horizontal lines reflect the natural surroundings. The ultra-modern building does not contrast with the natural world around it, but rather blends into it, looking for all the world as if the lower floor has grown out of the hillside. The lower, partially underground level features two bedrooms and the utility rooms. While on the exterior, the house’s tufa-stone façade recalls the use of volcanic rock, a centuries-old regional building tradition. On the middle level you will find the living, dining and cooking area, and a terrace complete with a pool. The white plastered walls were inspired by typical mediterranean architecture. From the terrace, a steel staircase leads to the top level and the main bedroom, which is also accessible via an internal staircase. The interior wood panelling and additional brass and copper details on this floor, and the shape of the house combined with the external staircases, create an almost nautical atmosphere. You can even see the sea out in the distance: the house offers panoramic views over the hills all the way to the Tyrrhenian Sea.

What to do

Hiking, swimming, visiting the area’s historical villages, thermal springs, the beach (20 minutes away by car).

Why we like this house

Visitors will be imbued with the light, elegant atmosphere of the house. You don’t run here, you walk gracefully down the stairs and glide into the serenely shaped pool.

This house is great for

Families, holidays with friends

A wonderful house for a family holiday. Excellent both outside - incredible pool, views, and a beautiful building - and inside - everything you need, comfortable, plus stunning art and interior finishes. The hosts were helpful and generous with their time and information about the locality, and all in all have created a truly incredible and special place. In addition, there were some toys our children could play with, plus a trampoline; the pool was crystal clear and the garden is very well kept. We hope to visit again!

We stayed at Maremma house with our two kids and had a really great time. The house itself is beautifully designed and the landscape and the views are just stunning. So if you are looking for a holiday in peace on the one hand but with lots of options for interesting places to visit on the other hand this is just the place to go to! Besides, the owners are absolutely friendly and helpful!

The Hilltop house is a gorgeous place. The architecture is beautiful, designed with a keen eye for detail, and stunning views, all the way to the sea. We loved the spacious garden, and the outdoor terrace next to the pool. The kitchen has everything you need, and the bedrooms are very large with luxury linnen. When it got colder outside we lit the well functioning fireplace in the living room creating a very cozy atmosphere. There’s a couple a very pretty small villages around, and lots of wineries worth visiting, all in all a very nice and quiet part of Tuscany. The hosts Luca and Andrea were truly amazing. When travel restrictions suddenly changed because of COVID they helped us figure out what travel documents we had to bring with us. It was a relieve to have such reliable hosts, and on top of that they also arranged two yoga mats to be available in the house, for our daily yoga exercise. We loved everything about the Hilltop house, and highly recommend it.

We had a wonderful week with the family at the Maremma House. We just hang around in the hammock, the deck chairs, the huge pool, enjoyed the sunset, the peacefulness and the little villages around. A wonderful place to relax.

The owner Luca was very nice and very attentive from the beginning. That's how you wish for a host! The house is simply uniquely beautiful, located in a magnificent location and very private. There were six of us and we enjoyed the week to the full. Luca was always there for questions and had great tips for restaurants or excursions. We'll definitely be back - hopefully very soon. Thank you for a wonderful holiday!

We had a very pleasant stay at the beautiful maremma house in september und we highly recommend to spend holidays there. Andrea cordially introduced us to the house and its facilities in detail, so we felt at home quickly. All you need for holidays you´ll find at this house, including a fine compact disk collection. Even the pool house with its bathroom can be inhabited by two persons, so you have a lot of space for up to eight adults. The owners und architects of this special house are very supportive, so don´t hesitate to contact them.

Ein wunderschönes Haus mit einem grandiosen Rundumblick in die Landschaft der Maremma! Wir haben zehn Tage Anfang September im Maremma House verbracht und haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt. Schon die erste Kontaktaufnahme mit Andrea und Luca war sehr nett. Dort angekommen konnten wir uns durch Schwimmen im Pool, Relaxen in der absolut ruhigen Lage des Hauses, Wohlfühlen im gepflegten Haus und Erledigen der Einkäufe in Magliano und Pereta supergut erholen. Das Maremma House beeindruckt durch seine außergewöhnliche Architektur und durch eine hochwertige Ausstattung! Wir kommen gerne wieder!
