Pieve di Caminino Roccastrada

The Pieve di Caminino is a small medieval hamlet, near to Montemassi in Tuscany's Roccastrada territory, and just a 30 minute drive away from the Tuscan coast. The hamlet is comprised of a cluster of small cottages, a farmhouse and the proprietor's own residence, and the 11th century church, or "pieve" built on Paleo-Christian ruins. The impressive main nave of the church, between Romanesque columns and arches, now provides a truly unique space where to hold meetings and seminars'''.

The Pieve di Caminino has suites and apartments of varying dimensions for 2 to 5 people. All have comfortable living room, one or two bedrooms, kitchen, and bathroom with shower or bathtub. Independent heating and stone fireplaces make the cottages the perfect holiday accommodation way beyond the summer season. The apartments are beautifully appointed with pieces of antique furniture and period paintings from the owner's private collection. Terraces and private garden areas overlook enchanting Tuscan scenery. The swimming pool has a stunning view of nearby Montemassi castle.

The estate of Pieve di Caminino extends over some 500 hectares of century old olive trees, vineyards and Mediterranean scrub and woodland. The fruit of the extensive olive grove is used to obtain the Pieve di Caminino cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil. The oil has been made by members of the Marucchi-Locateli family since 1873, when they first came into ownership of the property.

The historic residence Pieve di Caminino is situated in Roccastrada, town located between the Val d'Orcia and the Tuscan coast of the Maremma. From Pieve di Caminino many of Tuscany's most visited towns and villages are within easy reach; Siena, Grosseto, Monteriggioni, Montalcino, Montepulciano, Pienza, Chianciano Terme. The beautiful countryside of the Crete Senesi and the spectacular Tuscan coast are just a short drive away whilst, from nearby Piombino, a short ferry ride transports visitors to the enchanting island of Elba.
