Enjoy a 7-night stay for 4 people in one of 12 charming and comfortably appointed properties in the Tuscan hill town of Manciano, Italy. Manciano is located 1.5 hours north of Rome with the enchanting seaside villages and beautiful beaches of Porto Santo Stefano and Porto Ercole only 30 minutes away. All properties have at least 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, a living room and kitchen.
Manciano, which rises on the top of a hill, has a breathtaking view in all directions: from the Amiata to the Fiora Valley, from Talamone to the beaches of Montalto di Castro, from the Argentario to the islands of Giglio and Montecristo. It is a small town with a big atmosphere. The first week of May sees local cheese tasting in the "Mercatino del Centro Storico" together with the enticingly named "Merenda Maggiolina." The strawberry festival takes place at the end of the month. Early September is the "Festa delle Cantine" which celebrates the local wine. It starts with a traditional night torch parade on horseback. Go into mid October for "Incontrimuci a tavola con i funghi" or local mushroom harvest and mid December for "Seguendo un filo d' olio" or the presentation of the new extra virgin olive oil.
Beyond Manciano is the medieval hill town of Saturnia, considered by some to be the cradle of Italian civilization, with an Etruscan Roman and medieval past. However, even more than its history, this area is known for its world class spa, "Terme di Saturnia" and for its hot sulfur springs which have been gushing since the Roman period with a constant temperature of 99.5 degrees F.
