A few kilometres from Grosseto, in the heart of Maremma Nature Reserve, is the Agricultural Estate covering 400 hectares, amidst cultivated land, woody areas and access to the sea.
The excellent geographical location and the Reserve’s unique inland position, allow you to cross the protected area diagonally, admiring different landscapes from plains to hilly slopes and down to the sea.
The Agricultural Estate is an ideal place for animal lovers and for a holiday that regenerates total well-being by staying in close contact with nature. Furthermore, it enables you to quickly reach the cities of art such as Siena, Pisa, Florence, Rome and the important Etruscan-Roman archaeological sites of Cosa, Roselle, Vetulonia, Scansano, the wine cellars of Morellino and different spas including Saturnia. This enables you to discover seaside localities there.
Within the Agricultural Estate , the woody area on the western side is rich in ilex, oak, cork and sycamore trees. On the other hand, the eastern side towards the sea hosts a dense and compact maquis, populated with a wide variety of faunae including wild pigs, animals and foxes. The rocky coves close to the maquis give exclusive access to one of the most scenic and unpolluted areas along the Tyrrhenian Coast. This enables you to enjoy a spectacular view of Giglio Island, Giannutri Island and Argentario.
The Agricultural Estate is identified by the ancient tower, The Torre Bassa (The Lower Tower) which is visible from the Aurelia main road. This tower is one of the most important historical features because it identifies with the only remains of the ancient castle of Collecchio, which would otherwise be unknown since there is no documentation to prove its establishment.
Located on top of a lower hill immersed in a thick and compact woody maquis, the Tower was established during the reigning era of Aldobrandeschi from 1210 and in the following centuries it was taken over by the Marsili family, which is bound to an enthralling legend stemming from modern times of the beautiful Margherita of Nanni Marsili who would have been abducted by Kair –ed –Din, also known as Barbarossa.
