Home description

Casina di Rosa is a wonderful opportunity for the independent traveller seeking privacy and a pleasant atmosphere. The house is a perfect base for sightseeing trips or to relax and experience daily life in a traditional Tuscan village.

The house consists of kitchen, bedroom with double bed, living room and bathroom and is furnished with original pieces and new items in traditional Tuscan style. The kitchen has all major appliances (including washing machine) and a working fireplace.

The house is located in Civitella Marittima, a small village that lies in the hills between the beaches of the Maremma and Siena. It is a fantastic location to explore southern Tuscany and all the major sites without haveing to choose among the most popular areas of Tuscany. Our location is the main strength of our cosy holiday home.

For the many positive reviews received, Casina di Rosa has been chosen as one of the Slow Travel Favourite vacation rentals in Tuscany. Moreover, thanks to the many activities that we run (wine tasting tours, olive oil tours, cooking classes, lavender tours, visit to cheese, honey and cured meats producers, Italian language courses) our home has been featured in several magazines such as Le Vie del Gusto and Dream of Italy. We make a point of offering low cost activities to make them affordable for the largest possible number of people so that the culture of our beautiful area can be fully appreciated.

We are happy to help our guests with anything they might need at all stages of their trip: from the planning stage to the moment they leave.

Over the years Casina di Rosa has been chosen by many soon-to-be brides and grooms who come to Tuscany to plan their wedding. We are happy to assist those who wish to find out more about what is necessary to get married in Tuscany. We are also proud to be located in a very appreciated honeymoon destination, and we welcome all the romantic travellers who wish to choose Tuscany to celebrate their recent wedding, an anniversary or simply their love.

The Tuscany region

Tuscany is one of the most beautiful places all over the world. It has much to offer to you, no matter what you like doing. Tuscany has beautiful art, excellent food and wine, and it provides the perfect setting for sport in the fabulous natural setting in which Casina di Rosa is located.


Siena / Civitella Marittima area

Civitella Marittima is well connected to the surrounding villages (Roccastrada 13km) and also to Siena and Grosseto: the village is only 1km away from highway SS223 that connects Siena and Florence to Grosseto and the Tyrrhenian coast.

Great cities of art such as Siena and Pienza, archaeological parks such as Roselle, Pitigliano, Sovana and Sorano, or the fascinating Tyrrhenian coastal towns of Castiglione della Pescaia, Punt'Ala and Orbetello are all reachable in less than one hour's drive.


Florence, Pisa, Lucca and Rome are all reachable in about 2 hours. The village is well connected by the buses than run along the main Siena-Grosseto line.

For lovers of culture, a visit to the cities of art of the area such as Siena, Florence, Arezzo, Pisa and Lucca is highly recommended. It is possible to visit any of these cities as a day trip, leaving from Casina di Rosa in the morning and returning the same evening, although to fully explore all of the treasures of even one of those cities would require months! Rome is easily reached by car or by train from Grosseto.

To experience the history of the region, we suggest a visit the the Etruscan-Roman ruins in the archaeological parks found in Roselle, Pitigliano, Sorano and Sovana. The Etruscan Necropoli are a treasure of immense value and are to be found only in this area.

Also of interest are the numerous medieval castles and abbeys in the vicinity such as Abbey of San Lorenzo, San Galgano, Monte Antico, Casenovole, Poggio alle Mura, Pienza, San Gimignano, Volterra, etc.

Tuscany is the perfect place to learn Italian. In Siena, there are many language schools where you can attend very interesting and useful courses.

For nature lovers, the surrounding countryside offers numerous trails for walks, hikes and mountain biking.
Nearby Monte Amiata features mountain trails and Monte Labro and the Argentario peninsula are home to two of Italy's largest national parks.

Casina di Rosa is an ideal base for those wishing to partake of the excellent hunting in the area. Local game is plentiful and includes wild boar, hare and pheasant. It is also possible to arrange excursions on horseback with a nearby riding farm.

The Tyrrhenian coast, which annually receives recognition for the quality of the water and its beaches, is only a short distance away. Soak up the sun on the beaches of Alberese, Castiglione della Pescaia, Punt'Ala, Argentario and the islands of Elba and Giglio.

Natural hot springs are nearby and open to the public year round (Petriolo 13km, and Saturnia 20km).

Tuscany has a long tradition of fine cuisine. Here in the Maremma you can sample traditional dishes prepared with fresh, quality ingredients. Hunting is very popular in the area and many restaurants offer menus based on local game such as wild boar, pheasant, hare and deer.

For lovers of fine wine, we recommend a visit to the nearby vineyards of Montalcino, home to the famous Brunello wines, or to Montepulciano (Rosso di Montepulciano), Scansano for its Morellino, San Gimignano and Monteriggioni for the Chianti. Civitella Marittima is located in the Montecucco D.O.C. region. All local restaurants have an extensive wine list.

We are always happy to recommend other fine places to eat during your stay with us.

Also of interest are the many village festivals held in the months of June, July and August, where you can find a selection dishes prepared in the local tradition.

In November, it's possible, upon request, to participate to the olive harvesting activities and to visit one of the many olive presses of the area which produce excellent olive oil. We organise visits to an olive farm inclusive of home-made meal and oliveoil tasting. This offer is only available to our guests.

(By Swerts)


Casina di Rosa is located in the small village of Civitella Marittima. The apartment is centrally located in the village and the village was located centrally for day trips to Siena, the Maremma, Massa Marittima, the wine towns of Montalcino and Montepulciano, the Etruscan sites of Savana and Pitigliano and hiking in Murlo. We loved the area and the village itself.

(By Greg)


I stayed in Casina di Rosa in Civitella Marittima from November 30 through December 11. The owners are extremely helpful and accommodating -- helping one to plan trips, and arrange extras, such as car rentals.

The home was very clean, and exactly as presented on the website -- something that I personally worried about, since I just "stumbled across it" on the internet. I should NOT have worried. Casina di Rosa was and is a beautiful property -- in a QUIET village on a hilltop. The owners are concerned about making your stay in their home as good as possible, and are available for help whenever asked.

(By Janine)

Casina di Rosa is located village of Civitella Maritemma which is a well preserved hilltop town with spectacular views.

The apartment was cosy; perfectly suited to the two of us, with a separate lounge for reading or poring over maps for the next days jaunt. It was recently renovated, but had preserved essential and beautiful features like the fireplace in the kitchen.

(By Carlo)


Casina di Rosa is an apartment rental on the top floor in Civitella Marittima, a town in Tuscany. The village is home to 350 residents and offers all essential services. It really is a small town. Everyone is very nice and after only staying there for a week we've seen the familar routes and people that goes on in this village. It's really nice and quiet.

If you're looking for a small town and want to see what the Tuscany life is like this is a very small and quiet village to stay at.
