Sticciano Scalo, Maremma, Tuscany
A nineteenth-century villa fattoria in the wild Maremma, its history tied to the Tolomei family of Dante’s Pia de’ Tolomei, set inside a fifty-hectare organic estate guarded by more than six thousand ancient olive trees. Sisters Beatrice and Margherita Ramella restored the manor, granaries and stables around the central courtyard into a boutique resort and still run it hands-on; the family chapel of San Guglielmo anchors the courtyard, and the equestrian heritage survives, riding the estate trails is the signature guest morning. Receptions move from the rustic Granaio to the Orangerie to open lawns under the olives. Weddings take the whole estate: an exclusive-use format from around €51,000 including a three-night stay for up to forty-four guests, which buys a genuinely private, family-run corner of Tuscany’s least-discovered coast-country.
