Il Quinto (Farmhouse Holidays) Magliano in Toscana

A 74 hectare estate in the countryside just outside the town of Magliano in Toscana, a family farm producing excellent extra virgin olive oil and wine, and 4 country houses in which to experience the true essence of Maremma: if you're looking for the perfect Tuscan country retreat, you'll love Agriturismo Il Quinto.

At Agriturismo Il Quinto, self-catering holiday accommodation is provided in 4 "rustici", each of which has been designed to offer both the typical rustic charm of Tuscany's old country homes and the comfort of a modern residence. A number of the apartments have their own little garden and terrace. Book in advance if you want to stay in the much sought-after 'Casale Spinosa', which, in addition to the handy barbeque area, boasts a spectacular view extending as far as the sea.

Tuscan Maremma is famous for its simple, yet flavor-packed, cuisine. From the farmstay, guests can quickly reach any number of renowned restaurants and the wineries in which the area's highly prized "Morellino di Scansano" wine is produced. Wine buffs will want to taste Quinto's own, "Cantoquinto" wine, best tasted with a slice of crunchy Tuscan bread and a drizzle of the farm's fabulous, extra virgin olive oil.

Holidaymakers who choose to stay at the Agriturismo Il Quinto, can expect to enjoy a relaxing vacation in the heart of the Tuscan countryside and, at the same time, have fun in the sun on the nearby beaches of Monte Argentario or exploring the Etruscan ruins of Vetulonia and Vulci. An absolute must for spa lovers, the thermal baths of Saturnia are little more than a 30 minute drive away. Those unwilling to leave the farmstay, will no doubt spend much of their time lazing by the swimming pool with hydromassage facility.
