Carriages of Maremma Tuscany

Highlights

Treat yourself to a day completely immersed in the Maremma tradition: a carriage ride will take you back in time!

  • Horse-drawn carriage ride: an exciting route through the Parco dell’Uccellina.
  • Carriage ride at sunset: an exciting route at dusk on the beach

Let us take you through the Uccellina Park with our Carriages of Maremma Tuscany to discover the wonders that are part of it together with Civitatours and Enrico, our coachman, and the horses Rambo, Flora, Violet, for a unique and exciting experience like never before.

Comfortably seated in one of the carriages, you’ll explore the woods populated by deer and foxes, the valleys crossed by clear water streams to the rocky peaks perched above, the endless plains of sunflower and wheat fields to the beautiful pine forests that border the sea.

But that’s not all: this unique experience takes you to caves dating back to the Neolithic period and gives you the chance to pass through herds of wild Maremma cows.

This spectacular experience can also be dedicated to an extraordinary and memorable event such as a wedding. Imagine seeing a bride arriving at her future husband’s on a vintage carriage and then celebrating the ceremony on the beautiful Collelungo beach.

This electrifying atmosphere will also be accompanied by the tasting of a delicious panzanella whose 0 km ingredients are grown on the Compagnia dei Carri farm run by the founder, where he breeds, in addition to horses of course, alpacas and Cinta Senese pigs.

The Carrozze di Maremma farm was founded by Enrico Cheli in 2007 with the help and collaboration of his friend Andrea, a veterinarian. Enrico, who was born in Maremma, discovered his passion for the world of horse riding at a young age and began his career in competitive riding, from show jumping to cross-country. Over time, what began as a passion became a profession: he trained as a horse breeder and trainer and then, in 2011, became an Equestrian Environmental Guide (GAE), the only figure recognised at national level.
