Murlo has an extensive territory, thinly populated and sitting astride the valleys of the rivers Merse, Arbia and Ombrone. It is a dream place where history, culture, wildlife and woods reign undisputed and where traditional economical activities are tied up with the earth and tourism.
Guests have a wide selection of hotels, farmhouses and a campsite to choose from (check out our interactive map below) as a base to go and discover the territory and its history, taking paths surrounded by uncontaminated nature to reach the numerous castles, villages and churches dotted over the area.
On foot, horseback, by bike …. paths of all kinds … suitable for families, seniors, experts and professionals. Some of these have become famous for local and international cycling races, which are repeated every year, attracting many fans from Tuscany, Italy and abroad.

In Murlo there is also a very small railway station on the Grosseto-Siena-Florence line, unfortunately located quite far from the two main towns of Casciano and Vescovado. It is located in the hamlet of La Befa. But if you book a farmhouse nearby and come by bike, you won’t have any problems!
