Isola

Isola, in Maremma, does not only refer to an island. It is often the name of an isolated hamlet, a historic farm, or a group of buildings surrounded by countryside, without necessarily being in the open sea. You will find indications like "Isola Santa" or "Isola di Fano" on the maps. Understanding this term helps you locate places that are sometimes remote, often authentic, far from tourist centers. That is where you unearth peaceful agritourism spots or interesting remains, because these "isole" were once landmarks in a less urbanized landscape. Keep your eyes open, an Isola can hide a lovely surprise.
