THE PERSONALITIES
Romantics. Wine wanderers. Tuscan dreamers. Slow travelers. Countryside gourmands.
MOMENTS
Quiet mornings with espresso and rolling hills as your only company. Walking through rows of vines heavy with grapes. Golden sunsets over the vineyards. Firelit dinners with estate wines. Long afternoons by the infinity pool overlooking olive groves.
BEST VISITING MONTHS
April to June brings wildflowers and soft spring light, perfect for hiking and vineyard walks. September and October are harvest season, alive with grape picking, tastings, and festivals—a dream for wine lovers. Summer (July–August) is warm and vibrant, with long sunny days best spent between the pool and the vines. Winter is quieter, offering intimate fireside evenings and a slower rhythm of Tuscan living.

WHY STAY
Conti di San Bonifacio is more than a wine resort—it’s an intimate Tuscan estate where life slows into the rhythm of the land. With just a handful of rooms, the stay feels deeply personal, almost like being welcomed into a private home. Interiors balance rustic elegance with understated luxury: stone fireplaces, wooden beams, and soft linens that mirror the estate’s natural surroundings. Each room opens to sweeping views of vineyards, olive groves, and hills rolling toward the horizon, offering a sense of seclusion and connection to the landscape.
The estate’s design is rooted in tradition but infused with contemporary touches. Terracotta floors and handcrafted details nod to the history of the Maremma region, while expansive terraces and the infinity pool frame vistas that change with the light. It’s a retreat made for savoring—whether lingering over a glass of wine at dusk, resting in sunlit courtyards, or spending long evenings under Tuscan skies where silence is broken only by cicadas.
WHY WANDER
The Maremma region of southern Tuscany is a land where sea, hills, and vineyards meet. Staying at Conti di San Bonifacio places you in the middle of it all—just a short drive from the wild Tyrrhenian coastline, where sandy beaches and Etruscan ruins sit side by side, and within reach of medieval hill towns like Massa Marittima and Montemassi. The area is lesser known than Chianti or Siena, which means quieter roads, fewer crowds, and a sense of discovery as you explore.
Beyond the immediate landscape, Tuscany offers endless adventures: cycling through vineyards, horseback riding among olive groves, truffle hunting in nearby forests, or simply following winding roads that reveal small villages with trattorias serving local wines and handmade pasta. To wander here is to experience Tuscany at its most authentic, where every outing—from a market visit to a coastal walk—feels stitched to the rhythms of land and tradition.
INDULGE IN
The soul of Conti di San Bonifacio is its wine. The estate produces organic, small-batch vintages from Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Vermentino, each reflecting the mineral-rich soils and Mediterranean climate of the Maremma. Guests are invited to join cellar tours, guided tastings, and even help with the harvest when the season is right. Meals are paired seamlessly with the estate’s vintages, deepening the connection between land and table.
Dining is an intimate affair. The restaurant focuses on farm-to-table Tuscan cuisine, drawing from estate-grown olive oil, garden vegetables, and local producers. Think handmade pastas, fire-grilled meats, and cheeses from nearby farms—always paired with wines made just steps away. Every meal feels like a conversation between soil, vine, and kitchen, best savored slowly in candlelit dining rooms or al fresco terraces overlooking the vineyards.
GETTING THERE
Conti di San Bonifacio is in the Maremma region of southern Tuscany, about 90 minutes by car from Florence or Pisa, and just under two hours from Rome. The nearest train station is Grosseto, with transfers available to the resort. A car is recommended to explore the countryside, coastal villages, and hidden gems of the region.
WILD INITIATIVES
Sustainability is woven into the estate’s philosophy. The vineyards are farmed organically, the resort works with local artisans and producers to support the regional economy, and the small scale of the property ensures a low-impact, immersive experience. Guests are encouraged to participate in seasonal rhythms—harvest, olive picking, garden-to-table dining—making the stay not just about wine, but about living in tune with the land.
