HORSE BACK RIDING IN THE ROMAN ETRUSCAN AREA IN SOUTHERN TUSCANY - 3 DAYS
DAY 1 - We leave from the Equestrian Center "Manciati" crossing the wood and riding the Giannella beach
(the northern tombolo of Monte Argentario) to the mouth of the Albinia river. We start to ride up river to
the Mediterranean macchia (tight wooden forest) towards Capalbio (medieval village in Aldobrandeschi style,
untouched). We then ride from Capalbio to Montemerano where will stop for the night in a typical farmhouse
where will we have a typical maremman dinner.
DAY 2 - The morning later we will start the journey heading towards Saturnia (famous for the thermal pools,
Etruscan-Roman architecture and medieval village). From Saturnia we ride along the Fiora river heading Semproniano,
Petricci, Cellena and we will spend the night in a farmhouse where maremman horses are grown.
DAY 3 - The morning of the third day we will cross the "argillose" hills of Saturnia to reach the Albegna river
again. From here we will start to ride down river towards the sea again crossing rich vegetation to Marsigliana
(once an Etruscan town and now the only property left to the Corsini family, who originally owned the entire area).
We will cross the field and swamps along the Albegna river. From here we will head back to the Equestrian center
riding on the beach.
Price: 2 nights with breakfast, 2 snacks, 2 dinners and horse, $400.
