A secluded retreat between pine forest and sea
There is a Tuscany that reveals itself only to those who know how to look for it. Roccamare is signposted by a small, almost invisible sign at the entrance, hidden among the pine trees. Nothing suggests what lies beyond: one of the most exclusive and private places in Italy — perfect for those seeking a luxury holiday in Tuscany, surrounded by nature, comfort, and total privacy.
Just minutes from Castiglione della Pescaia, in the heart of the Maremma, Roccamare is a private estate created in the late 1950s at the initiative of Count Piero Ginori Conti. It was a visionary idea: to establish a summer retreat for a select few, where architecture and nature could coexist in perfect harmony. The estate still preserves the elegance and balance of its original design: around two hundred luxury villas in Roccamare, nestled in the pine forest, each one unique, protected by vegetation, and connected to the sea through a network of internal roads and reserved footpaths that lead to discreet beach access points, for residents only.
Each villa is a world of its own, with its own unique atmosphere and character. Some overlook the sand, while others are nestled deep within the pine forest — yet all share a common philosophy: silence, privacy, and understated elegance. The architecture itself reflects this approach: villas designed by renowned Italian architects, seamlessly integrated into the landscape, furnished with designer pieces, works of art, and verandas that open onto the garden.
Those who choose Roccamare are not looking for ostentatious luxury, but for something authentic. A kind of luxury that reveals itself in the materials, in the harmony of proportions, in the freedom of not having to ask for anything. Security is absolute, yet never intrusive. Service is impeccable, yet invisible. The entire experience is tailored with care.
The beach, unspoiled and serene, is reserved exclusively for residents of the estate. It can be reached on foot via shaded paths through the pine forest, crossing the so-called stradelli — discreet private access routes that lead to the sea. Pale sand, crystal-clear water, no crowds. Only the sound of the waves and the rare peace of a private beach in the Maremma. No tourists, no strangers. Only families who return year after year, generation after generation, sharing the same idea of a holiday: intimacy, nature, and true comfort.
Between discreet hospitality and the art of living
Beneath its apparent stillness, Roccamare reveals a vibrant, private soul — made of elegant dinners in lush gardens, informal gatherings under the stars, and spontaneous encounters on the beach. It is the quiet pleasure of belonging to a place suspended in time. Here, people reconnect, reunite, and grow together, summer after summer.
Those wishing to venture beyond the pine forest will find tailor-made experiences: private tours of Bolgheri’s renowned wineries, boat trips to the Tuscan Archipelago, deep-sea fishing, sunrise yoga sessions, and in-villa wellness treatments. Everything is arranged with the utmost discretion, never disturbing the balance of the stay.
Roccamare is a destination for the few. It is a place passed on through word of mouth, chosen by those in search of something different: luxury villas in Tuscany where the greatest privilege is not to be seen — but to disappear, in style.
In a world where everything is visible and loud, Roccamare whispers. And perhaps that is why it remains one of the best-kept secrets of the Tuscan coast.
