Maremma shines in its entire splendor at Easter!

Spring has just arrived, and the days are longer and sunny, providing the perfect setting for walks, bicycle rides, horseback riding, golfing, and sailing.

Only the most courageous of you will dare to swim in the sea, but you can enjoy the beaches by basking in the sun and enjoying a fresh seafood meal.

With its natural beauty and mild weather, Maremma offers many traditional events throughout the week of Easter, such as food festivals, regattas, exhibitions, and religious processions.

Among the most spectacular events is the annual Pasquavela (the name is a combination of Easter and sail), a sailing regatta that ends on Easter Monday. The race takes place in the waters of Porto Santo Stefano, and the colorful sailboats can be admired from the seafront. In 2024, the 35th edition of Pasquavela takes place from 30 March to 1 April.

Golf is another sport that attracts many Italian and foreign enthusiasts to Maremma. For example, golf competitions are held at the Argentario Golf Club on Easter Sunday and Easter Monday.

On the evening of Good Friday, many local villages – such as Santa Fiora, Castel del Piano, Porto Santo Stefano, and Montorsaio – organize processions to commemorate the crucifixion and death of Jesus. In Roselle, Grosseto, there is an actual Easter Passion Play with about 200 participants.

Religious events continue on Easter Sunday. Something beautiful takes place in Porto Santo Stefano, where a long procession crosses the historic center at sunrise and reaches the seafront. Here, a sea-blessing ritual takes place as the boats docked in the harbor play their horns.

Other things you can enjoy during Easter week in and around the Argentario in Maremma include visiting the Tarot Garden, which reopens on 28 March 2024, and the Lamb Festival in San Martino sul Fiora.

Need accommodation? The Argentario Golf & Wellness Resort, located between Porto Ercole and Porto Santo Stefano, offers a special package in a junior suite including breakfast, Easter Lunch, spa access and free wi-fi.
