Description
You will find Nonno Tobia on the top of a hill not far from the small and charming village of Magliano in Toscana. Nonno Tobia is a lovely farmhouse in a panoramic position from which, thanks to a recent renovation, three flats have been created, two of which are at your disposal. From the house, which stands on the top of a small hill covered with cereal fields, you can gaze the silhouette of Magliano in Toscana every day. The town, of Etruscan origin, became a strategic medieval village in the 15th century, protected by its imposing and characteristic walls.
All around is the lazy tranquillity of the countryside, which you can enjoy from the furnished portico with your favourite book or a glass of good Morellino di Scansano.
In our opinion, Nonno Tobia's strong point is undoubtedly its geographical position. The farmhouse in the middle of the Maremma countryside, but not too far from the Tyrrhenian coast, will allow you to organise and plan an interesting and varied holiday. You can take suggestive naturalistic excursions, losing yourself in the wild and almost uncontaminated nature of the Park of Maremma or of the WWF Oasis of Orbetello. Spend relaxing days under the warm sun on the golden beaches of the coast, or evenings out for dinner or an aperitif in the renowned tourist centres of the Argentario.
Around the house you will have a large green space shaded by typical Maremma pines and equipped with garden furniture, barbecue and wood-burning oven, for your lunches and barbecues in the open air. At the edge of the garden, a further bonus, there is a beautiful organic vegetable garden tended by the owners from which you can pick and enjoy at will seasonal fruit and vegetables.
To reach the farmhouse, the last stretch of road you have to cover, about 300 m, is not asphalted.
Sheets and towels are not provided. Nonno Tobia
