Properties for Sale in Tuscany and Lazio

Maremma Real Estate in Suvereto

Looking for property to buy in Tuscany or Lazio, Italy? Maremma real estate in Tuscany and Lazio has yet to become highly sought after by foreign buyers purely because this vast part of Tuscany running along the Ligurian and Tyrrhenian coastlines into Lazio and the region of Rome, and inland through thick woodland towards Siena and Florence and Pisa, remains relatively unheard of. Indeed, it is Italy's best kept secret.

And who wouldn't want to keep it to themselves when:

• her landscapes are breathtakingly beautiful;
• her spectacular 250 kilometre coastline is home to some of the best beaches in Italy, including the most beautiful (Cala Violina);
• internationally renowned super Tuscan wines are made here;
• nearly all of her landscapes are internationally protected wildernesses, reserves, and national parks;
• there are natural hot springs and waterfalls set in glorious countryside that are warm enough for you to bath in in mid-winter;
• she is home to archeological sites that are some of the most important in Italy; and
• the flavours of her traditional home-cooking rank amongst the best in the world...

But take a closer look and you will see that buying a Tuscany property or a Lazio residence in Maremma will also place you within easy reach by car of the wonderful art and cultural centres of Florence, Rome, Pisa and Siena.

AND most property prices in Maremma are lower than those for the rest of Tuscany. Maremma is generally regarded as "povero" (poor) - the poor relation in Tuscany as, until historically recently, making a living here was very difficult in hard and unforgiving circumstances.

But in Etruscan times it was a rich and prosperous land from mining activities here and on the Island of Elba, more populated than now and with many cities and towns trading with internal Etruria and France. By medieval times the lowlands in Maremma had became waterlogged and impenetrable and the resultant swamps, marshes, lagoons and ponds plagued with malaria. In the mid 18th century, under the Grand Duke of Tuscany Leopold I, large scale reclamation of the land began which transformed the landscape into one suitable for agriculture and habitation. These works were completed after the end of the second World War and in the 1950's malaria was finally eradicated for good.

The landscape in Maremma is now prized for holiday homes along the coast in the extensive pine woods that replaced the swamps, and for vineyards along the slopes of her coastal hills.

But don't let the old haunting "Maremma Amara" image put you off. Visit Maremma and explore her treasures. Experience for yourself some of the very special Dolca Vita to be had here, and I wager you will start a love affair that will have you returning again and again. I did and now live here and Maremma's beauty still takes my breath away every day.
