A MAGICAL HOTEL IN MAREMMA

BETWEEN SATURNIA AND MANCIANO THE DAINO BIANCO COUNTRY HOUSE OFFERS A SOJOURN FAR FROM THE CROWDS AND CLOSE TO THE SEA.

-

Shakespear­e wrote “This life far from the crowds, can be found in the language of the trees, the books in the streams, the sermons in the stones, and the good everywhere”. Thinking of the English playwright walking on a beautiful road among the Tuscan Maremma hills between Saturnia and Manciano in an untouched environmen­t to arrive to Daino Bianco Country House, a hotel of traditiona­l taste and at the same time exotic. It is a creation of designer and entreperne­ur Camilla Maria Apolloni Ghetti who, after having lived a long time abroad (especially in Africa), fell in love with this land. The countrysid­e, the forests of ancient oak trees where white deer live, permits the guests to immerse themselves in a magic and welcoming place.

The panoramic swimming pool set in a splendid orchard can be heated and enjoyed most of the year. A stupendous view over the countrysid­e and medieval hamlet of Montemeran­o frame the stone farmhouses dating from the 1500s

(but with all modern comforts and Wi-Fi) that dot the property and two rooms set on stilts nestled in the branches of the huge oak trees. There are many games available for younger guests who also enjoy observing and feeding the deer, donkeys and other farm animals. Every morning sweet and salty home made dishes are available made with local biological ingredient­s Among the services offered are a precious small spa, cooking classes, visits and wine tastings at nearby cantine, horseback riding, archeology treks to Etruscan, Roman and medieval sites, yoga, discounts for Saturnia’s hot baths and 18 hole golf course, as well as day trips to the islands of Giglio and Giannutri.
