The agriturismo
Located in the heart of the Lazio Maremma, only 7 km from the Montalto di Castro beach, it offers the opportunity to spend restful days in a large house surrounded by the green countryside. The archeological sites of Vulci and Tarquinia are only 20 minutes away. The Saturnia and Viterbo spas, Capalbio, Monte Argentario and the Marina Velka golf course are just a short distance away.
The accommodation
This is an old Maremma farmhouse with the characteristic red color and typical side portico. The name is a result of the fact that it was the command post of the French army during a fierce battle fought in 1798 against the Bourbon army. Afterwards it resumed its role as a farm for the Tenuta Giovanna agricultural company, now a modern center of advanced agricultural production for products such as: cereals, asparagus and medicinal herbs like lavender and hyssop.
The owner's apartment located on the upper floor has been reserved for the agritourism's guests. Made up of three comfortable bedrooms, it is decorated with antique furnishings and offers a magnificent view that extends from the surrounding countryside all the way to Monte Argentario.
The large lounge, with a balcony, offers the opportunity for quiet, relaxing evenings and is equipped with an LCD TV. The completely equipped kitchen/dining room also has a color TV. During the evenings from the portico you can "breathe the cool air" as the farmers once said before there was television, to stay "awake".
Activities and surrounding
The area surrounding the agritourism offers the opportunity for enjoying a walk either within Tenuta Giovanna or along the various country roads that surround it. Those same paths can be enjoyed via mountain bike which the guests can rent.
The Maremma is the land of cowboys, so horseback rides organized by a nearby riding school, allow guests to visit the most beautiful and hidden corners of the countryside. You can also take horseback riding lessons.
The Etruscan towns of Vulci and Tarquinia with their famous necropolis and their archeological museum are located only a short distance away.
The Montalto Marina beach is just 7 km away with its wide beaches, among the largest on the Tyrrhenian coast, and its many locales that enliven the night life.
Those who love the spa will be spoiled by the choice between Saturnia and Viterbo with the famous Spa of the Popes. In an hour by train or car you can reach and visit Rome and all its splendid monuments.
The Marina Velka course, about 15 km away, is available to golf enthusiasts.
Tuscany, with its beautiful villages of Capalbio, Soana, Scansano and many others can be reached in just a short amount of time for a stopover to enjoy some delicious wild game and red wines.
The bravest guests can kayak along the Fiora River. The program generally requires that the participants are picked up at the agritourism by shuttle bus and taken to Monte del Fiora and from there they begin their descent towards the valley. Those who enjoy the sea can not only enjoy swimming and sunbathing, they can also take part in diving courses or, if they are already knowledgeable, they can be accompanied by experienced instructors on diving excursions, all of which can be booked directly at Casalino dei Francesi.

We spent a very nice week here. The owner was very friendly and attentive. Internet went only outside, but we did not mind. The next supermarket (Coop) is about 5 minutes by car. The farm is located just off the road almost in the middle of the field, so perfect for those who do ...
