Among Medieval Walls and Ancient Olive Groves
Magliano in Toscana is one of the best-preserved medieval villages in the
Maremma, still encircled by its fourteenth-century walls and gazing serenely
over a landscape of olive-covered hills that, on clear days, stretches all the
way to the sea. The historic centre can be strolled in just a few minutes, yet
every corner tells centuries of Maremma history.
The Collegiate Church of San Giovanni Battista, the church of San Martino with
its frescoes, and the famous Quercia delle Streghe — a thousand-year-old olive
tree wrapped in local legend — are just some of the highlights. Magliano is also
excellent territory for extra-virgin olive oil and the wines of the Morellino di
Scansano DOC.
Less than thirty minutes from Hotel Le Querciolaie dei Ricci, Magliano in
Toscana is the ideal destination for a morning away from the beach and immersed
in the true soul of the Maremma. Returning to the hotel — with the pool and
restaurant waiting — is the perfect way to end the day.
