Grosseto suits families after a walled Tuscan city with the Maremma park nearby and a home with a garden or pool. It lies inland, so the beach is a drive away at Marina di Grosseto.
Grosseto is the capital of its province, a city of around 80,000 people on the Ombrone river rather than a seaside town. The historic centre sits inside a hexagon of Medici-era walls, about 3 km round, that you can walk almost all the way; the cathedral of San Lorenzo stands on Piazza del Duomo. The homes on our list are spread over a wide area around the city, so a map matters more than the town name. Most have a garden and many have a private pool, and the beaches are not on foot: Marina di Grosseto is 12 km from the centre. Out of season the city carries on as a working provincial capital.
The city's seaside resort, 12 km from the centre, with a vast pine forest running from Punta Ala to Alberese.
About 9,000 hectares of coast between Principina a Mare and Talamone, with sandy beaches, rocky shores and the wooded Uccellina hills.
Remains of an Etruscan city north of Grosseto, the most important archaeological site in the Maremma, showing the shift to Roman times.
A medieval village on Monte Petriccio, north of Grosseto, that is also a seaside resort with a marina.
Pisa airport works well: Grosseto is about 1h45 by car, and trains run from Pisa Centrale on the Pisa to Rome line. Our homes are scattered around the city and countryside, so plan to hire a car for the whole stay.
Summers here are very hot and humid, which suits a pool and the sea but not walking the walls or the park in the middle of the day. Winters are mild and wet. Marina di Grosseto is a seaside resort, so check beach-facility opening times before a stay outside summer.
No. Grosseto sits inland on the Ombrone river. Its seaside resort is Marina di Grosseto, 12 km from the centre, with a vast pine forest behind the coast.
Yes. The hexagonal walls, commissioned by Cosimo I de' Medici and built between 1565 and 1593, run about 3 km and can be walked almost all the way round, apart from a short northern stretch where Porta Nuova stood.
The park has about 25 km of coast with long sandy beaches, rocky shores and cliffs, backed by the pine forest of Marina di Alberese and the Uccellina hills with their old watchtowers.
By car it takes roughly 1h45. Trains also run from Pisa Centrale to Grosseto, but they leave from the city station rather than the airport, so allow extra time for the transfer.
Try tortelli maremmani. Despite the name they are ravioli, filled with spinach or Swiss chard.
