Poggio del castagno is what is known in Italian as an Agriturismo it is situated in Maremma 8 kilometers from Pitigliano(Grosseto) in the south of Tuscany an area once inhabited by the Etruscans.Surrounded by nature and in the middle of an oak tree forest it offers gorgeous views, it is the perfect oasis to come and relax and rest. We offer hospitality all year round, in our rooms with bathroom or in our relaxing camping amongst the trees.

We organize courses and seminars on: reaping and coking with natural growing herbs,
