The boundless landscapes of the Tuscan Maremma enter your life and they don’t leave you anymore. Eleonora, a Venetian woman, and Stefano, who has always lived here, know this well. Here they met, fell in love, then tried to live somewhere else, but the call was too strong. So they decided to build their life here, betting on agriculture, without ever giving up, giving life to a successful reality, but above all a place where to live naturally and simply, opening the doors to guests who can live a slow Maremma, trying the real experience of farm life.

At Pietra Serena you will discover slow rhythms, authentic flavors and a life on a human scale: a slow Maremma to live with these 10 unforgettable experiences.
