About The Maremma and the Argentario: the back story
The Maremma is Tuscany’s wild south: hot springs and hill villages inland, the lagoon of Orbetello and the rocky promontory of Monte Argentario on the coast.
Inland
Saturnia’s cascades, Pitigliano and the tufa towns, and Niki de Saint Phalle’s Tarot Garden near Capalbio.
The coast
Porto Ercole and Porto Santo Stefano on the Argentario; Castiglione della Pescaia further north.
Caino, in the village of Montemerano, holds two MICHELIN stars (2026).
Eating
Caino, Il Pellicano, Bracali, Silene and La Trattoria Enrico Bartolini hold stars; L’Oste Dispensa and Il Sottomarino are Bib Gourmands.
Our advice: a car is essential; the distances are longer than they look.
