Description

Villa Apparita is situated in Tuscany in the beautiful nature of the nature reserve Parco Naturale della Maremma, about 4 km from Talamone and about 500 m from the sea. The cottage was once used as hunting lodge during the hunting season inside of the park. It has been completely and tastefully restored offering now space for 4 up to 6 people. The Parco Naturale della Maremma is situated in the southern part of the Maremma Tuscany, that is extending from Principina a Mare north, along the coast, until reaching after approximately 20 km towards south Talamone.

The constitution of the park to protect this unique flora and fauna of more than 100 sq.km., is dating back to the year 1975. The park is covered mainly by a dense macchia wood, marked off from the sea by sand beaches or rocky bays. The nature changes from the Ombrone delta, over the "Trappola"-marsh, the dunes, the pine woods, the beach over the Uccellina mounts. The park is crossed by several routes that can be discovered with organized tours (starting from Talamone or Alberese) on foot, by bike or on horseback. During a tour it is possible to meet wild and often even dying species such as the wild boar, the porcupine, the tortoise, the hawk, the ring dove, stock ducks, foxes, roe deers and follow deers, to name just a few.

Villa Apparita is situated along the "Cannelle" route that can be reached from Talamone and goes until the 15th century watch tower of the same name (about 500 m from Apparita). Underneath the tower, the beautiful rocky beach, also at the guest's disposal. From the 15th century on were built several watch towers along the coast, in order to protect the coastal lane from pirate attacks.
From the picturesque seaside location Talamone, less than 4 km from Villa Apparita, one can enjoy an enchanting panorama of the Argentario peninsula with the island of Giglio in front and in the background of the prot the rolling soft Maremma hills.

Talamone boasts a very antique history: already the Etruscans were using the port, giving him the name Tlamu. After the fall of the Etruscan federation, the romans called the port after their heroe Telamon and from there it changed later in "Talamone". Today, the port has changed into a small yacht harbour.
Those who besides peace and uncontaminated nature would like to discover the area, can visit the beautiful coast and other places in the area. The Argentario peninsula (with Porto Ercole and Porto Santo Stefano with ferry to Giglio Island), Magliano in Toscana, Grosseto and Ansedonia can be reached in about half an hour by car. Siena and Saturnia can be reached in approximately 1 hour, whereas Rome, Florence and Pisa can be reached in about one hour and a half.
