Exclusive Resort in Maremma Tuscany

CAPALBIO, ITALY, September 08, 2010

Locanda Rossa is an elegant structure set in the hills of the Tuscan Maremma at the foot of the medieval village of Capalbio. With a typical Tuscan architecture, restored with sensitivity and attention to detail, surrounded by a beautiful olive grove with views of the sea near the pristine beaches of Chiarone.
The understated elegance and charm of the Locanda's atmosphere and style turn a vacation or weekend getaway into a truly memorable experience.
The ideal setting to relax and unwind, to take time out for a romantic escape from your everyday routine or to experience the energy and vitality of the Maremma. Locanda Rossa offers simple, refined elegance and courtesy, unobtrusive service. The Locanda Rossa has 12 rooms that include 7 Superior Rooms, 2 Junior Suites and 3 Standard Rooms. Each room, with its own style, unique furnishings and features, offers guests the light and colours of the Tuscan countryside, and faces onto the private gardens or terraces. The apartments are designed with style and have tranquil private gardens overlooking the olives.
Olive trees have always been an integral part of Tuscany, of its landscapes and its identity. The olive grove is a strong symbol of Locanda Rossa's identity, a habitat that strikes a balance between tranquillity and vitality. A cultural and religious symbol, one can walk in the olive grove along the trails that wind through the over 3,000 trees. The climatic conditions of the Capalbio area, the varieties of olives selected, along with the cultivation methods and skilful pressing techniques employed by Locanda Rossa come together to produce an oil with a balanced flavour and fruity aroma offering scents of artichoke, freshly mown grass and almond that combine with the bitter and piquant notes typical of Tuscan oils. In the right season, guests can participate in the olive harvest, assist with the pressing, and taste the newly pressed oil - accompanied by fragrant bread, savoury cheeses and fine Tuscan wines.
And then the honey. The natural product par excellence, honey is a unique food and an exceptional source of energy. Natural and genuine, Locanda Rossa Honey offers the scents, flavours and beneficial properties of the various plants from which it originates. It is the delicious embodiment of a territory that features a variety and abundance of pristine Mediterranean vegetation.
At Locanda Rossa, the day begins with a rich buffet of homemade breads and pastries and a variety of other fresh, high-quality products.
Osteria Locanda Rossa offers a sampling of traditional tastes and aromas, featuring wines from Italy's most distinctive wineries, as a memento of your wonderful stay. A glass of wine, a homemade pastry, a tasty slice of boar prosciutto. Osteria Locanda Rossa serves dishes that capture the essence of traditional Capalbio-style cuisine, proposing lighter variations of savoury foods from the Maremma. The Osteria also offers guests the pleasure of discovering its wine menu and the opportunity to bring home a bottle of wine to remember the experience.
Locanda Rossa is not only a place for discriminating tastes. For lovers of relaxing holidays, the small, but precious SPA includes an Hammam, a Turkish bath, a Thermal Pool, Sensory Showers and a Sauna. A place where waters are imbued with the scents of nature, and treatments that contribute to the well-being of the body and the soul are offered.
