The location at the center of Maremma makes the Quercia Rossa a privileged base for a variety of activities. First of all, the closeness of the natural cascades of Saturnia (14 km) offers guests the chance to spend time relaxing with massages, and thermal cures and baths. Lovers of the sea and of diving can reach the beaches of Capalbio, Argentario and Uccellina in approximately 20 minutes by car.

Nature lovers choose between birdwatching in the oasis of Orbetello and the Lake of Burano or riding in the Uccellina Natural Park. Near the Farmhouse, one can take a bath in the Albegna river.

The tombs of Sovana, the Roman city of Cosa and the sites of the villa of Settefinestre and Ghiaccio Forte as well as the medieval towns of Pitigliano, Sorano, Capalbio with its Garden of Tarocchi, Montemerano, Magliano, Manciano are all within 15-20 kilometers of the Quercia Rossa.


The house is set in a beautiful garden with lawns, roses and cypresses, overlooking unspoilt tuscan hills. The farmhouse and its outhouse have large rooms, each with bathroom, of varying shapes and sizes. Each room has a bathroom and its own private entrance. Guests have access to the communal rooms which are also suitable for meetings and workshops.

Most of the furniture comes from the Tuscan villa of the English traveller, Augusta Belloc, who came to Italy on the eve of World War One. Neo-Rennaissance beds, gilded bronze sconces, lamps of Murano crystal, and relics of exotic voyages mix with contemporary works of art by young artists.

The Quercia Rossa Country House was renovated in the classical Tuscan architectural style, with environmentally-friendly materials. There is a private swimming pool.
