Manciano is a hilltop town in southern Maremma with views from Monte Amiata to Monte Argentario, and Saturnia's thermal baths close by. Nearly all the homes here have a private pool and a garden, but they are spread across the countryside, so every outing means a drive.
Manciano stands at 444 metres on a hill in the south of Grosseto province and was once an important market centre for the Albegna and Fiora valleys. In the middle of town the Cassero, a 12th-century fortress, houses a history and art museum, and its rebuilt tower has wide views. The homes are not in town. They are scattered through the surrounding countryside over roughly 11 km, nearly all with a private pool and a garden, and around half with a fireplace. Several sleep eight or more. Saturnia, Montemerano and Marsiliana are all frazioni of the comune. Each year the historic centre's cellars open for a weekend at the end of September for the Festa delle Cantine.

Rome Fiumicino is the nearest major airport, about an hour and 35 minutes by car over roughly 84 miles. Public transport is slow, around three and a half hours by bus via Orbetello station. A car is needed here, since the homes are scattered through the countryside.
The thermal baths at Saturnia are open every day all year, so a stay works in any season, and warm water suits the cooler months. The Festa delle Cantine falls at the end of September each year. The nature trails suit trekking, horse riding and mountain biking, and summer is the time for the pool. Check opening times for museums and restaurants in winter.
Yes. Saturnia is a frazione of Manciano, with thermal springs dating back to Roman times that are still used. The Terme di Saturnia baths sit at the foot of the village and are open every day all year.
Nearly all of them do. Most also have a garden, and around half have a fireplace, which helps outside summer. Several sleep eight or more, so groups are well catered for.
Ciaffagnone, a rustic crepe of water, eggs, flour and salt, is the local speciality. At the Festa delle Cantine the cellars also serve wild boar dishes and acquacotta soup with local white and red wines.
Manciano has the Cassero fortress and Saturnia within its own comune, while Pitigliano lies about 18 km to the north-east. Stay in Manciano and visit Pitigliano for the day.
Not usually. The homes are scattered across roughly 11 km of countryside, so expect to drive into town, to Saturnia and to anywhere with a restaurant.
