Description

The Valentina Nuova farm is situated in the southern part of the Maremma Natural Park, about 3 km from the sea of Talamone in Tuscany. One arrives on the farm, driving over an imposing access avenue, lined with cluster-pines. Behind the gate, two antique stone farmhouses, one inhabited by the owners, the other with 3 holiday apartments. In the centre of the courtyard, a trough, from where in the past cattles would quench their thirst. In many angles between the two farmhouses, one can notice the oil jars, dating back to the beginning of the past century that today are witness of the farm's former oil mill acitivity.

Around the organic farm, soft hills, typical for the Maremma area, the olive groves with approximately 3,000 olive trees, sown fields and pastures with the cattles (cows, horses etc.), living in a wild state. In this marvellous landscape one can easily meet wild boars, fallow deers, roe deers, hares and foxes, masters of the nature and therefore not afraid of approaching the farmhouses. The Valentina Nuova farm can also give hospitality to horses and horesemen, as well as organize excursions with guide both within the park as between the hills, where the delicious "Morellino di Scansano" wine grapes are growing.

The horsemen will be accommodated in apartments, whereas the horses will stay in boxes or on the paddock.
The minimum programme is of 3 days up to 6 days and 10 up to 12 people can participate per group. It is recommended to choose the period from September until June of the following year, as in July and August, horses are not allowed to enter the park. Being nearly at the sea, it is worth spending a day together with a fisher in the sea, living the life for one day of a real "pescatore".

Close by, there is also the possiblity to take part in guided tours in the Nature Reserve, to get riding lessons or to go riding, mountain bike, canoe, sailing, kite surfing and to practice any kind of water sports. Furthermore there is a tennis court and a golf course. The Argentario area with Porto Ercole and Porto Santo Stefano, from where are starting the ferries to reach the islands of Giglio and Giannutri is just 25 km away, whereas the "Giardino dei Tarrocchi" of the artist Niki de Saint Phalle in Capalbio or the Spas in Saturnia can be reached in approximately 30 minutes by car.

Those who love the sea, can enjoy the rocks at Talamone with the crystal clear water or the so called "Wind-Beach", the beach of surfers and kitesurfers.
Who prefers a kilometer-long sand beach that, in particularly is ideal for children, can find this just approximately 5 km further south of Fonteblanda. 
At the Valentina Nuova farm it is possible to pass a pleasant and relaxing holiday, with the freedom of open spaces, within a totally natural context.
