Pieve di Caminino, a little hamlet in the beautiful Maremma countryside between Roccastrada and Massa Marittima, is set in a natural, verdant amphitheatre, with enormous olive groves extending down from the wooded, rocky background towards the coast – a modern landscape unchanged since its appearance in Gothic frescos. Far away on the horizon, you can sometimes see the sea, 30 km. away. The charming and knowledgeable owners have converted the little hamlet into characteristic apartments and cottages for visitors. Arriving at Caminino one senses the peaceful, well-loved atmosphere. Trees, climbing plants and flowers complement the beautifully proportioned layout of the buildings. The very stones here breathe history. There are numerous fascinating details, and the houses have large Tuscan fireplaces, beamed ceilings, family antiques and paintings. Gardens are conceived as extensions of the houses, and hedges, terraces and pergolas provide numerous individual

furnished areas, arranged to accentuate the panoramic views or provide privacy. There are over 500 ha. of woodlands to explore, and an ornamental lake has lawns furnished for sunbathing. The site for the swimming pool has been carefully chosen to protect the peace and architectural integrity of the hamlet: the natural coloured pool is sheltered on one side by the forest's edge. One side opens to a classic view, unchanged for centuries, over an olive grove, to the high outcrop of Monte Massa, its jagged ruin shimmering on the skyline.
