ll Cicalino lies at the feet of the ancient town of Massa Marittima, embedded in the unspoilt region of Maremma, a natural paradise that has successfully maintained all its beauty and uniqueness throughout the passing of time. It is the ideal place to set off from on day trips to the most fascinating sights and tourist attractions of the region: Volterra, S. Gimignano, S. Galgano, Vetulonia and Populonia with its Etruscan excavations, Uccellina Natural Park and the seaside; well known for the beaches at Punta Ala and Castiglioni della Pescaia. The Maremma is a fascinating coastal plain where art and nature create a perfect union. The small town of Massa Marittima is possibly the area's most historically interesting town, wonderfully atmospheric with its alleyways, shops, traditional taverns, and its fine medieval centre. The Etruscan towns of Vetulonia and Populonia are fascinating and full of traditional trattorie and speciality shops. The Cicalino estate, with its wonderful views over vineyards, olive groves and oak woods, is vast. The old country houses, built in a circle around a 19th century manor house have been carefully restored. The accommodations, all beautifully modernised, retain the typical features of the holding including; stone facades, terracotta floors and exposed beams. In addition the estate offers four swimming pools, a well furnished gym, sauna, whirlpool, massage service, trekking paths inside of the estate, organization of guided excursions to all the places of most important interest and for mountain bike fans there is the MTB-rent and repairing, guided tours and hundreds of courses, offering to visitors the possibility to discover the beauty of this territory with its wild appearance and unique landscapes. To complete this splendid frame of the 'Tenuta Il Cicalino' estate, there is the perfectly restored restaurant with its original stonewall facade. It is situated near to the 'Podernuovo', in an idyllic setting between corn fields and olive groves, where it is possible to admire the enchanting view of the medieval town of Massa Marittima. Inside the restaurant there are two halls, furnished in the traditional style of this special region. During the summer time we suggest a romantic candle light dinner in the garden of the restaurant. Here you can enjoy the best local dishes and the genuineness of Cicalino farm products.
