ATMOSPHERE

An holiday between history and legend

 

The famous fresco "Guidoriccio da Fogliano all'assedio di Montemassi",

by Simone Martini, XIV century. This battle took place by Caminino

 

Caminino, a perfect marriage of History and Nature,

the sum of Elegance and Human Intelligence,

one of those holy places which You will never forget...

( Marie-Noëlle Hervé, Le Monde journalist)

 

Our Philosophy: 

This is a place for those who love nature and animals as we are in the Tuscan Maremma, a wild romantic land. We are not  -  and do not want to be   -   a luxury hotel:  we are just a charming small resort, with the authentic atmosphere of an original  XIth  century property. We do not have TVs, our guests prefer sipping wine in front of a gleaming fireplace or watching a stunning Tuscan sunset disappear  into the Caminino olive groves,  enjoying all of  nature's  bounty and  beauty  to  it's  fullest.

        

Tradition says that the Christian martyr Feriolo died here,

killed by the Roman persecutors, and as a miracle a water spring

came out of the land,where he fell. This became an invitation

for all future settlements…

The centuries have gone by, but life in Caminino continues on with the same spirit.

            In truth Pieve di Caminino has many more antique origins, dating back to the age where the Etruscans used to work the copper coming from the mines in the Roccatederighi area nearby: it is with particular interest that we like to try and think about the mysterious reasons why in the very remote past a group of men started to feel at one with the nature of this place and settled here.

 

           In Caminino different religions and worshipping were superimposed one upon an other: first Etruscan divinities, then Roman and finally Italic… for more than two thousand years people of different origins, cultures and traditions felt the need to settle here.
