Farm stay with horse riding in Maremma Tuscany — 2026 Selection

The Tuscan Maremma is also an invitation to explore its landscapes on horseback. Imagine yourself riding the trails of the Parco Regionale della Maremma, or Parco dell'Uccellina, with only the breath of your mount and the song of the birds as companions. Some establishments, such as the Agriturismo Il Gelsomino, even allow you to enter directly into the park to discover its unique flora and fauna. Whether you are a novice or an experienced rider, from rides of a few hours to treks of several days, the experience is designed for everyone, often on Maremmana horses, renowned for their robustness and temperament.

Beyond the beaten path, horseback riding in the Maremma is rooted in a strong rural tradition. Places like Le Cornacchino, nestled in the heart of the Riserva Naturale del Monte Penna, offer week-long courses combining western riding with the discovery of local traditions, such as the work of the butteri. Others, like the Agriturismo San Marco near Rosignano, combine a love of horses with proximity to the sea, offering lessons in a covered arena or rides along the Costa degli Etruschi. These agriturismos, often producers of organic wines and olive oils, invite you to extend the immersion with tastings of local products, such as the cinghiale alla maremmana or the peposo maremmano, flavors that resonate with the history of this land.
