Overview
Sleeping six guests across three double bedrooms and offering bright and spacious living areas overlooking the landscaped grounds, Villa Morellino is a wonderful base for a family holiday in the south of Tuscany.
Set on one floor, Villa Morellino is warm, welcoming, recently-renovated, and suitable for all ages and abilities due to its stair-free layout. The open-plan living and dining room is the heart of the home with comfy sofas, a flatscreen TV and a dining table where you can gather for meals. Food and drinks can be prepared in the modern, well-equipped kitchen to be enjoyed indoors or on the covered veranda just outside.
After a busy day exploring the local sights, you will be eager to get a good night's sleep in one of the three bedrooms. Two of the bedrooms have double beds and en-suite bathrooms, and the other room has a double bed with access to a family bathroom.
Outdoors, the garden offers even more living space under a covered veranda with a dining table and outdoor sofas. The terrace overlooks an inviting private pool ideal for cooling off on a hot day. There is also a barbecue and a firepit outside and 30,000m2 of lawns and grounds set within a wider private estate where guests can unwind.
The private grounds and nearby rural country lanes are perfect for morning walks. You can also head into the hills and trails of The Maremma National Park, which surrounds the home. This expansive area of protected parkland contains mountains, forests and gorgeous sandy beaches around 35km away. If you prefer a lively beach with bars, restaurants and comfy sun loungers, you can find plenty of these too in Talamone and Fonteblanda, each under 40km away by car.
Aside from amazing natural surroundings, Southern Tuscany also boasts historic towns and villages such as Scansano, which is 5km away, Grosseto, which is 32km away and Talamone, which is 38km from the villa. Each town and village has its own charms and attractions, but whichever you visit, you can expect to see pretty, maze-like streets, historic buildings and lovely family-owned restaurants!
Wine lovers will also be thrilled to learn that the rolling hills around the home are dotted with centuries-old vineyards where you can indulge in a day of wine tasting and tour the grounds and cellars before purchasing a few bottles of wine to go with dinner.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa MorellinoVilla Morellino sits within the verdant hills and fields of The Maremma National Park in Tuscany, within easy reach of the sweeping coastline and historic hilltop towns. Whether you wish to enjoy days in the countryside or would like to discover the area's café culture and museums, you will find plenty of attractions nearby.
The Maremma National Park, which envelops the home and leads out to the coastline, offers guests breath-taking scenery to explore on long walks, hikes or bicycle rides. The park encompasses mountain trails, pine forests, rivers and shrublands. Several unspoilt beaches can also be found within the boundaries of the parkland, around 35km from the home. If you would like to visit a beach with serviced beach clubs, bars and sun loungers, then Talamone Bay, 38km away, is a great spot where you can also enjoy water sports and diving courses.
Though the villa enjoys a leafy location, guests will be able to easily reach the amenities and attractions of Scansano, just 5km away. As you approach Scansano, you will see the imposing town rising from the rocky hilltop and looking down over the valleys below. This beautiful town is medieval in origin though it was added to with the wealth brought in by mining and later wine making in later centuries. Visitors can explore churches, the Palazzo Pretorio and the Archaeological Museum, where you can see finds from early Etruscan settlements in the region. There are also shops selling locally made ceramics, olive oil and the regional wine Morellino di Scansano. The restaurants here offer fresh meats and produce from the nearby farms, including wild boar and local honey. If you visit in September, you could join in with a wine festival or watch open-air classical music performances.
Grosseto is the main city in this area, set 32km away from the villa. Often overlooked by tourists due to its tucked-away inland setting, Grosseto is a charming and authentic city with lots to see and do. The city sits inside vast walls once used for defence but has now become a lengthy, tree-lined walkway. Inside the walls, the picture-postcard streets are filled with bustling squares, shops and restaurants. Dante Alighieri Square is at the heart of the city and is where you will find some historic attractions such as the cathedral, ancient churches and palaces. The city is also home to some brilliant museums.
Another place you could visit for dinner or shopping is the village of Talamone which is 38km away. This harbourside fishing village is a lovely place to explore, with the Uccellina mountains as a backdrop and the pretty streets leading down to the sea and a few quiet beaches. The village's main attraction is the staggering 13th-century fortress extended and rebuilt in the 16th century. Visitors will find a wide range of shops, cafes and family-run restaurants here where you can dine al-fresco soaking in the sea views.
Orbetello town and its stunning lagoon are another wonderful location for a day trip and are 45km away from the villa, or maybe your party would enjoy a boat trip to the Monte Argentario promontory or the many unspoilt islands in the bay.

Region
The picturesque Siena, located in the heart of Tuscany, Italy, is a mesmerising destination that encapsulates the essence of Italian culture, history, and natural beauty. With its rolling hills, charming medieval towns, and renowned art, Siena offers a captivating experience for travellers. One of the region's most famous attractions is the historic city of Siena itself, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The city's unique feature is the Piazza del Campo, a stunning shell-shaped square that hosts the world-famous Palio di Siena, a thrilling horse race held twice a year. The Torre del Mangia, a towering bell tower, offers panoramic views of the city and surrounding countryside, allowing visitors to fully appreciate Siena's historic and architectural splendour.
Tuscany

This is one destination that really does have a little bit of everything for everyone, whether you’re travelling with family, friends or are just looking for a romantic getaway with that special someone.
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesWith fewer crowds and more wide-open space than other areas of Tuscany, Southern Tuscany is a brilliant choice for a family holiday. Here you can take the kids to long sandy beaches, protected parklands and enjoy pizza and gelato in pretty village squares.
A great place to spend the day with the children is the beautiful Orbetello Lagoon which is 45km away. Separated from the wild sea by a sand bar, the lagoon is a calm body of water home to many fish and migrating birds like flamingos. Kids will love spotting the marine and birdlife here whilst walking around the scenic trails. Close to the lagoon, there are also beaches and a stunning town centre where you could shop for souvenirs and have dinner before returning to the villa.
