Location context
Treat Maremma as a territory, not a single town
Choose daily routes around Grosseto, hill towns, natural areas or the coast instead of attempting to cover the entire region at once.
Where Tenuta di Poggio Cavallo is, and why the location matters
Tenuta di Poggio Cavallo is a farm estate on the Strada Provinciale Sante Mariae, near Istia d’Ombrone in the Grosseto countryside of the Maremma. Matrimonio.com says it was built in the second half of the 18th century on a small hill across the Ombrone river, and its manor house keeps its period decoration. Hotels.com lists 12 rooms and apartments over two floors.
The estate sits about 10 to 11 km (6 to 7 miles) from central Grosseto, which makes it a quiet rural base with a city close by for supplies and dinners. The former hayloft and stables now hold a restaurant serving traditional Tuscan cooking with local ingredients, and the farm produces its own olive oil, jams and preserves. A seasonal pool sits among old olive trees.
Getting there
- By train: Grosseto station is about a 25-minute drive, as listed on Hotels.com; Talamone station is about 24 minutes.
- By car: a car is the practical choice. Parking is free on site.

Who it suits, and who should look elsewhere

Look elsewhere if you want to walk to a town or a beach, need an elevator (there is none) or want breakfast included: the buffet is extra. The pool is seasonal, May to October, and pets are accepted in specific rooms for €8 per pet per day (listed October 2026).
