Riding Between Sky and Sea: the Real Maremma
An e-bike journey through the heart of the Tuscan Maremma, based in Orbetello: roads suspended over water, islands off the coast, and nature reserves where the landscape has barely changed.
Every day is a different ride. You cycle along the lagoon among flamingos and golden reflections, where the sea and sky merge into one. Panoramic roads climb gently toward wild headlands, unveiling secret coves and breathtaking views of the open water around every corner.
Nature leads: follow the scent of Mediterranean scrubland, to shaded pine grove and trails through dunes and cliffs. And then there is the history, surfacing among ancient ruins overlooking the sea — silent traces of civilizations from thousands of years old.
A ride that combines movement and stillness, adventure and quiet. Every pedal stroke is a way to feel part of the landscape and rediscover the simple pleasure of exploration.

This isn’t just a bike tour. It’s four days between land and sea, through a Maremma made of adventure, history, nature, tradition, and flavors rooted in the territory.
Four days to feel part of the landscape. Four days to find energy, freedom, and something worth coming back for.
The ride starts at the promontory of Monte Argentario and rises from the sea like an island, connected to the mainland by thin strips of sand that enclose the Laguna di Orbetello. On e-bikes, you ride between hidden coves, fragrant Mediterranean scrubland, and views stretching to the islands of the Tuscan Archipelago. The climbs feel easier with the sea beside you at every turn. The last reward of the day: watching the sun dropping behind the horizon.
You ride from Orbetello to Porto Santo Stefano and board the ferry to the Giglio Island. The nature here is intense, raw, almost wild. Panoramic roads climb gently between vineyards and cliffs, opening up to views over clear water and white beaches where you can’t help but stop for a swim. Colorful villages, silence broken only by the wind that’s lightly scented with wild rosemary. You’ll visit Giglio Porto, Giglio Castello, and Giglio Campese. And try a taste of Ansonaco — a rare white wine made from grapes grown only on the island — best end to the day.
You start from Orbetello, riding across its Laguna. Flamingos stand reflected in the still water, the morning light turning the surface silver. Then on to the Feniglia Natural Reserve, along trails shaded by maritime pines and lined with sand dunes. Pine resin and cicadas. The more historic sites to be discovered: the Roman city of Cosa, perched on the headland of Ansedonia, — a Roman colony founded in 273 BC, overlooking the sea from its ancient acropolis. The view opens over the Tyrrhenian sea. A stop at the beach below for a swim and some rest.
