The Tuscan coast is one of the longest, and most varied in Italy. There are sandy beaches to the north, around Viareggio and Forte dei Marmi - but for a wedding, we prefer the less populated areas to the center and south. The area around Bolgheri and Populonia in particular in central Tuscany, and the wild area of the Maremma to the south. In the central part of the Etruscan coast (south of Pisa and Livorno). The village is about 3 miles form the sea, and is reached by a 2 mile street lined with ancient cypress trees. The village hasn't changed with the passing of the centuries, other than an increased number of excellent restaurants! The wines of Bolgheri are among the best and most famous of Tuscany: Sassicaia and Ornellaia in particular. Bolgheri works for an alternative location especially for a blessing, a small group and a continued stay in the tuscan coast. Endowed with significant natural and environmental resources, the Maremma is today one of the best tourist destinations in Italy, a region where ancient traditions have survived and Tuscan culture is preserved. The Maremma can be divided into 4 main areas, each with its own characteristics and attractions: Alta Maremma (Upper Maremma) is the northern part of the Maremma region, right on the border with the Province Siena. This area is characterised by the many picturesque hilltop villages (Pitigliano, Roccastrada, Roccatederighi, Sassofortino, Monte Massi, Massa Marittima, Cinigiano, Campagnatico, Pari), which remind of the hilltop towns of the Siena area. The heart of the Maremma. Grosseto can be considered the capital of the Maremma. The area around Grosseto and the coast, with Marina di Grosseto, Castiglione della Pescaia and the small villages that lie in the plain between the city and the coast, represents the heart of the Tuscan Maremma. The hills of the Upper Maremma. The hills the Maremma can be divided into three areas: the area del Tufo (tufo is a volcanic rock found in the area that has been used for thousands of years in construction), the Colline Metallifere (literally, "the hills that produce metals") and the internal hills on the border with the Siena region. This is the heart of the Etruscan Empire On the shoreline of the Maremma sandy beaches alternate with rocky coastline. The long stretches of pine tree forests which border the beaches of the Maremma are a naturalistic treasure as well as the few areas where the lagoon and swamp ecosystems have survived urbanization, reclamation or simple draining, such as the nature reserve of the Diaccia Botrona near Castiglione della Pescaia.
