A few steps from the most important communication routes of the Tuscan-Lazio area, not far from the coast and the hinterland, the Hotel Fontermosa enjoys a strategic position for those who, in their vacations, want to combine relaxation and wellness with the opportunity to discover the overwhelming beauty of the Maremma with its medieval villages full of history, its picturesque and sinuous hills, the beaches, the blue sea and the most beautiful Islands of the Tuscan archipelago.
Maremma Park
Famous natural reserve, where protected species of animals still live in freedom, the Uccellina Park extends from Alberese to Talamone. Famous in the world and symbol of the Maremma, the Park has uncontaminated beaches, a still wild nature to discover with guided itineraries on foot or by bicycle or canoe tours in the sinuous meanders of the river Ombrone.
The sea
A few steps from the Hotel Fontermosa there is Talamone, a picturesque fisherman village. Its crystal clear waters bathe the characteristic inlets of the coast of sand and rocks. Following the coast you arrive at Orbetello, with the beaches of Giannella and Feniglia, surrounded by pine forest, which is a Nature Reserve and WWF Oasis.
From Fontermosa you can see the promontory of Argentario, known for the beauty of its cliffs with charming bays on the sea. Argentario Mount, with its towns of Porto Santo Stefano and the ancient village of Porto Ercole, is worth a visit if you are spending a vacation in Maremma.
From here you can leave by motorboat for mini cruises to discover the most beautiful islands of the Tuscan archipelago, the island of Giannutri with its crystal clear waters and unspoiled nature, or the island of Giglio, an enchanting place with a small medieval village.
The Tuff Hills and Capalbio
The hinterland of Maremma is characterized by wonderful villages, custodians of a rich historical and archaeological heritage, such as Etruscan necropolis, fortresses and ancient walls, fortifications and castles of mysterious charm.
From the Hotel Fontermosa you can easily reach villages of extraordinary beauty such as Pitigliano, Sovana and Sorano; the Etruscan tombs of Tuscania and Tarquinia or the Tarot Garden near Capalbio, a park characterized by the imaginative and unique artistic installations of Niki de Saint Phalle.
Mount Amiata and the Metalliferous Hills
Further north, but easily reachable, you can visit the mountain of Maremma, Mount Amiata with its small villages rich in tourist itineraries, trekking routes and food and wine specialties: Castel Del Piano, Arcidosso and Santa Fiora, where there are the evocative Fiora springs, immersed in a characteristic fishpond.
After Grosseto, the beating heart of Maremma, driving along the Aurelia road towards Livorno, you enter the territory of Metalliferous Hills where, among excellent wineyards and medieval castles, there is Massa Marittima: the pearl of the Maremma, with its ancient traditions and its imposing architecture.
