Don’t be fooled by its rural charm: Maremma has a vast selection of different types of accommodation, from family-run farmhouses to luxury resorts.

If you want to leave in July or August, don’t wait until the last moment to book, because the cheapest accommodations, especially on the coast, sell out quickly.

Many small family businesses prefer to do things the old-fashioned way, so you might not find them on the big booking websites and you might not get the best price anyway.
