From 10th April until 15th October: CAPALBIO AND TAROT GARDEN 

Breakfast at the hotel and departure for  the visit of Capalbio: this is a small village which keeps its ancient medieval layout substantially intact. Following the walls, one can fully walk along the ancient patrol path, enjoying a really suggestive view on the surrounding countryside. Over the years, Capalbio has become a destination for elite tourism, thanks to the charming atmosphere that reigns in the narrow streets of the village and the beautiful beaches of Chiarone, Macchiatonda and La Torba.

Free time for lunch.

Leaving the province of Grosseto in the southern direction, you will meet along the way a wide green area, a park of exceptional charm, unique in the world, one of the most important examples of environmental art in Italy: it is the Tarot Garden, built by the eclectic French artist Niki De Saint Phalle in the late 1970s. With its huge sculptures (up to 15 meters) dedicated to each symbol of tarots, the garden is a real open-air museum, a world halfway between dream and reality.

End of services.

From 16th October until 9th April: MASSA MARITTIMA AND LAGO DELL’ACCESA 
Massa Marittima is a small town extremely rich in medieval artistic remains, even if its origins are probably Etruscan.  
Visit the elegant historic center and the famous Duomo: San Cerbone’s Cathedral is the main religious building in the area, as well as one of the most important examples of Romanesque-Gothic architecture in the whole Tuscany. Here the architectural hazard is simply brilliant: the effect created by the church together with the whole square violates the usual architectural perspectives, creating a unique example in the world and a magical place, that will really amaze you.
Do not miss the entrance to the Museum of Sacred Art, where the stunning masterpiece Majesty of Ambrogio Lorenzetti is conserved from 1335  and a short visit to the Museum of the Organs, which will not disappoint even the most demanding visitors!

The tour ends with a short stop by Lago dell’Accesa, a very small lake on whose shores an Etruscan settlement dating back to the VII and the VI century BC was found.
