A four-star superior hotel situated directly on the Etruscan Coast, nestled within a pine forest and featuring a private beach, multiple restaurants, and an expansive spa area.
Regional ingredients at the heart of the kitchen
A defining characteristic of the cuisine of the Maremma is its clear focus on high-quality, locally sourced products. Fresh fish and seafood from the coast, game from the surrounding forests, handmade pasta, aromatic herbs, and olive oil from regional groves form the foundation of countless dishes. This combination of simplicity and quality continues to shape the culinary identity of the region to this day.
This diversity is most evident in the main restaurant, "Anfora di Baratti." Breakfast and dinner are served buffet-style here, reflecting the full breadth of Tuscan cuisine, from classic antipasti and pasta to meat and fish dishes, complemented by international influences.
Modern interpretations and maritime specialties
For guests with more refined culinary expectations, the à la carte restaurant "Ombra della Sera" offers a modern interpretation of classic Tuscan dishes. Fresh herbs, regional vegetables, and premium meat and fish are reimagined with creative flair. The stylish ambiance overlooking the pine forest enhances the authentic dining experience.
At the restaurant "Crudo di Mare," the sea takes center stage. Fresh seafood and fish from the Tyrrhenian Sea are prepared with deliberate simplicity, fully in the spirit of Maremma cuisine, which prizes quality over showmanship. One example is the signature dish by Executive Chef Daniele Arzilli: stuffed calamaro with sheep's ricotta and two-tone cherry tomatoes. Here, delicate sea flavors blend with the freshness of creamy ricotta in a harmonious composition.
Rustic tradition and culinary discoveries
The gastronomic offerings are rounded out by "Granace – Grano & Brace," where grilled meat dishes in particular pay homage to the original, rustic cooking of Tuscany. Bars such as "Café del Mare" and the "Hendrick's Gin Bar" complete the culinary experience and create additional moments of pleasure.
Just a few kilometers away, the Relais Antico Podere San Francesco offers another perspective on the region's pleasure-oriented way of life. As an apartment resort, it caters primarily to travelers who prefer a flexible stay. From here, numerous wineries, regional producers, and weekly markets are easy to explore. The surrounding trattorias and osterias highlight specialties such as Pecorino cheese, game dishes, fresh pasta, and traditional Tuscan soups.
The Maremma thus reveals itself not only as a scenically captivating region, but above all as a culinary destination that brings together authenticity, quality, and tradition in a truly distinctive way.
