Property description

The farmhouse of Tenuta San Carlo is located in an 1000 acre private estate on the Mediterranean coast within the regional park of l'Uccellina in Tuscany. Tenuta San Carlo offers its guests home-cooked meals, homegrown products, outdoor trekking, horseback riding, and birdwatching. A perfect place for nature lovers, specifically bird and horse lovers. Families with children will enjoy the wide variety of outdoor activities. The nearest city, Grosseto, and towns, Principina Mare and Marina di Grosseto, offer easy access to all necessary facilities including bank, post office, pharmacy, shops, bars, and many restaurants of traditional Italian food. The property is two hours from Rome, Pisa, and Florence, while only 45 minutes from Siena. Trains and buses leave regularly from the city of Grosseto for these destinations. The islands of Giglio and Elba are easily accessible by ferry from the nearest local towns.


The Mediterranean Sea and Nature: The beach and the property are incorporated in the gorgeous Natural Park of Uccellina (Parco Regionale della Maremma). The beach is easily accessible by a tree-lined, road through the property, which opens onto long stretches of sandy beaches. Tenuta San Carlo is home to many species of Tuscan wildlife such as deer, wild boar, horses, foxes, and birds. Unique animal sightings, for those interested in wildlife, are frequent and exhilarating. Group dinners under starry skies on beautiful summer nights allow for the true Tuscan cooking traditions to mix with the true Tuscan natural setting. Staying at Tenuta San Carlo restores a sense of health and peace of mind.

Cultural Immersion and Day Trips: The beautiful coast of Maremma has made the area of Grosseto particularly attractive during spring and summer while in late autumn and winter it remains a wonderful place for combining cultural experiences and outdoor activities in nature with the charm of the Tuscan way of life. It is the ideal strategic home base for many exciting day trips. Rome, Pisa, and Florence are reachable by car or by train in 2 hours. Sienna is only 45 minutes away. Also nearby are spectacular archaeological sites such as Roselle and Vetulonia, while from port towns such as Castiglione della Pescaia and Port Ercole ferry boats run daily to and from the islands of Giglio, Giannutri, and Elba. Smaller jewels of the Tuscan region such as Manciano and Pitigliano offer traditional and exquisite exposure to Tuscany’s medieval history. The healing thermal baths of Saturnia and Viterbo are a great way to unwind, and, of course, the Tuscan wineries where you can taste the excellent wines of Morellino di Scansano.
