Quercia Rossa

Maremma, Italy

Press Reviews

The Times, April 2009
"Rustic meets Rococo in this stylish but affordable agriturismo in Tuscany’s (relatively) unexplored Maremma region. Don’t be put off by the house's exterior - beneath a 1970s coat of concrete render (a previous owner had suburban aspirations) a period farmhouse survives almost intact. The landscape is completely unspoiled; the views from the pool are stunning. And all will be forgiven once you step inside - a winning combination of traditional farmstead, a dash of contemporary style and antique furniture."

  • “My boyfriend and I were thoroughly delighted with Quercia Rossa and its incredibly beautiful setting in the remote countryside of Manciano.

    The owner, Alessandro, was absolutely charming and happy to chat at length with us about the local wine regions, places worth visiting and decent restaurants in the area. Not that we ventured far from the house as the QR supper was phenomenal!

    Really worth a visit - especially if you enjoy star gazing! This our favourite leg of our trip around Tuscany.

    Do try the honey - they make it themselves!”

Save to favouritesPrintMailQuercia RossaDon’t be put off by the house's exterior. Beneath a 1970s coat of concrete render (a previous owner had suburban aspirations) a period farmhouse survives almost intact. The landscape is completely unspoiled; the views from the pool are stunning. And all will be forgiven once you step inside. When owners Alessandro Bonanni and Paolo Maresca relocated from Rome in 2003, they brought a touch of urban chic to rural Maremma – thanks to a winning combination of traditional farmstead, a dash of contemporary style, and antique furniture bought from the estate of Augusta Belloc, an English Victorian traveller who ended her days in Florence. The collection (gilt mirrors, Murano chandeliers, French-polished beds, upholstered chairs) spills into every corner, including an elegant salon (tiled floors, beams, log fire), dining room with long communal table, and 6 [r:IT038:bedrooms]. Outside are fragrant lawned gardens, and, beyond farmland and mature olive groves, set against rolling fields. A gentle breeze ruffles the surface of the outdoor pool. On a clear day, you can see the sea.
