Discover the Maremma
Podere Manni, a stop on your holiday.
Between hills, villages and sea: discovering the most authentic Maremma.
The Maremma is a corner of Tuscany that can still surprise you, where nature shapes the landscape and time seems to slow down. Podere Manni lies in the heart of this land and is the perfect starting point to explore not only its good food, but also its historical and scenic wonders.
We invite you to experience the Maremma in a different way: not only visiting its best-known places, but also discovering hidden villages, unspoiled beaches and ancient flavours, all connected by a shared passion for good food.
The Roselle Observatory: the Maremma under the stars
Just a short walk from Podere Manni, in the hamlet of Casette di Mota, you will find the Astronomical Observatory run by AMSA (Associazione Maremmana Studi Astronomici “Galileo Galilei”). Here, far from the city lights, the Maremma sky shows itself in all its beauty.
On public evenings you can observe planets, stars and nebulae through the 41 cm Cassegrain telescope, under the dome or with the telescopes in the garden, together with stories about the night sky and its mythology.
A perfect experience to combine with a visit to the farm: a tasting of our oil at sunset and then, just a few minutes away, up to the stars.

The Etruscan excavations of Roselle: a journey into the past
Just a short walk from Podere Manni, in the heart of the Maremma, lie the fascinating archaeological excavations of Roselle. Once an important Etruscan and later Roman city, the site offers a unique chance to immerse yourself in the ancient history of Tuscany.
Founded in the 7th century BC, Roselle grew thanks to its strategic position overlooking the surrounding plain. Today visitors can explore the ancient Cyclopean walls, the baths, the temples and the houses that tell the story of daily life more than two thousand years ago.
The Roselle Archaeological Park is easy to reach and offers an immersive experience of history and nature.
The cycle path: from history to the sea
For cyclists, the countryside around Podere Manni is an invitation to ride: quiet roads among the olive groves, protected cycle paths and, in no time, you go from the silence of the hills to the pine forests and the sea.
Two easy routes, suitable for everyone including beginners, start a few minutes from us: one tells the Etruscan and medieval history of the Maremma, the other takes you straight to the beach.
