Villa Spotlight: A Lovely Tuscan Escape At Oasi Di Benessere Bio

Oasi Di Benessere Bio is perched on a hill, 4km from the centre of Sassofortino, a tiny medieval hilltop village with a population of under a thousand, in the comune of Roccastrada, in the province of Grosseto. Boasting sweeping panoramic villas over the surrounding area - the rolling green hills and valleys for which Tuscany is so well-known, vineyards, olive groves, a patchwork of fields, and mountains in the distance – but a location that is just a short drive from nearby conveniences and incredible amenities and facilities, it is the ideal place to get away from it all in style and comfort. Leave the stresses and worries of daily life far behind but not all of civilisation: be able to readily head out and explore the wider region, and have the most stunning base to return to every day at the magical Oasi Di Benessere Bio.

A fantastic way to see a lot of Tuscany in a short time is to enjoy a few day trips of different scenic regions in the area. One such day trip that tourists would enjoy is a day trip of the Val di Merse area, namely the towns of Monticiano and Chiusdino. Two related articles describe the general tourist attractions of this area as well as another planned day trip of the main towns. There is a wide range of excellent holiday rentals in the Val di Merse area for visitors who’d like to stay here for a few days.

The large town of Chiusdino is a popular tourist spot, mainly because it’s the home place of St. Galgano when he was born in 1148.

His home, a simple grey stone building is now a shrine. In the simple Romanesque chapel of the Compagnia, there’s a decorative bas relief depicting St. Michael’s apparition to St. Galgano. The saint’s head is now conserved as a sacred relic in the nearby Propositura di San Michele! Tourists should visit the famous monastery he founded a short distance away, the Abbey of San Galgano. A small circular chapel on a hill beside it is where the popular legend of the Sword in the Stone is thought to have originated!

Galgano Guidotti was born in 1148 to a minor noble. At the age of 32, he had spent most of his life as a self-centred, violent knight. That year he was visited by the Archangel Michael in a vision and told to renounce his ways.

Guidotti then became a hermit and took up residence in a nearby cave. While on his horse one day, he was mystically led to Montesiepi, a hill near his home town, Chiusdino. There he saw a vision of the Apostles, Christ and Mary and was, once again, told to turn his back on his former ways. At this point of the tale, there are a couple versions of what happened next.

Set in a luscious valley around forty kilometres from Siena city, lies the breathtaking ruins of the San Galgano Abbey. This medieval Cistercense building attracts many visitors who gaze upon its beautifully designed Romanesque walls and columns. In the hills and valleys surrounding this magnificent building are some beautiful self catering farmhouses, villas and other holiday rentals available to enjoy a peaceful and inspirational stay. What makes this 13th century Abbey look so surreal is its missing roof and grass floor; it seems to have perfectly merged with nature and many have spoken of the peaceful feeling they get as they walk around its walls.

Massa Marittima is a small town in Southern Tuscany located 50 kilometres from Grosseto. It is a bit of a hidden gem, not well-known to tourists and, therefore, authentic and particularly beautiful. The town offers stunning panoramic views across the surrounding landscape due to its hilltop location, its historic centre has Etruscan origins and many striking buildings from the 13th century, its golden age for architecture, remain in tact. Massa Marittima is also often known as the 'City of Museums' because of its unique artistic and historical heritage, as seen in the variety of outstanding historic buildings and the numerous museums dotted around the town. If you're looking for a corner of Tuscany to holiday in where you can avoid the large tourist crowds of others centres such as Pisa, Siena or Florence, while not compromising on art, architecture, history or culture, just find a holiday rental in Massa Marittima.

We've previously discussed the small town of Massa Marittima
in Southern Tuscany which is a bit of a hidden gem with gorgeous views due to its hilltop location and a rich cultural heritage. Its historic Etruscan centre and numerous museums, for which it has been nicknamed the “City of Museums” are two of its most distinctive features. However, once you've found a holiday rental in Massa Marittima, you might want to also venture out of the town once you've explored it a little bit. Just a few kilometres away is the beautiful Lake Accesa with its Etruscan Archaeological Park which, like the town, also offers stunning scenery and great historical value that is not to be missed!
