			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" style="float: left; margin-left: 4px; margin-right: 4px;" src="http://blog.hotelrelais.it/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/andana-maremma.gif" alt="" width="500" height="178" />La Toscana è famosa in tutto il mondo perchè capace di stupire il turista per la varietà dei suoi paesaggi, capaci di mutare dalle ordinate colline del Chianti, disegnate da filari e vigneti, all&#8217;irregolarità delle irte cime delle sue montagne nel tratto appenninico, fino a giungere alle <strong>tonalità calde e ambrate della Maremma</strong> che si contrappongono al blu del mar Tirreno.</p>
<p>Terra per molti secoli paludosa e inospitale, fatta di acque stagnanti, la <strong>Maremma</strong> oggi rivela il suo fascino, a tratti ancora selvaggio, lasciandosi scoprire per i suoi tanti aspetti, spesso fatti di contrasti.<br />
Innanzitutto<strong> il mare</strong>, che nel tratto da Piombino all&#8217;Argentario alterna <strong>spiagge sabbiose</strong> dove le dune si divertono a giocare con il vento, a <strong>cale, baie e promontori a picco</strong>, spesso accessibili solo con la barca; ma sempre con fattore comune: un mare incredibilmente azzurro e cristallino.<br />
Grazie al <strong>Parco Naturale Regionale della Maremma,</strong> noto come parco dell&#8217;Uccellina, è possibile ammirare anche l&#8217;incredibile patrimonio faunistico del sud della Toscana: fenicotteri, caprioli, daini e cinghiali animano una macchia mediterranea dai profumi intensi.<br />
Limitarsi al mare sarebbe un peccato perchè l&#8217;<strong>entroterra</strong> offre una riserva di tesori: <em>Sorano, Sovana, Pitigliano </em>sono alcune delle località più famose da visitare, oltre agli antichi abitati etruschi, le cui necropoli ci rivelano le abitudini di un popolo profondamente colto e raffinato.</p>
<p>Per un <strong>soggiorno in Maremma </strong>consigliamo:</p>
<p>- <a href="http://www.hotelrelais.it/scheda.asp?ID_Struttura=98&amp;ID_Lingua=1&amp;Tipo=0">Castello di Vicarello, </a>eletto da <em>Conde Nast Traveller</em> fra i 60 migliori nuovi hotel al mondo e da <em>Travel &amp; Leisure</em> fra i <strong>25 nuovi migliori hotel nel mondo</strong>.</p>
<p>- L&#8217;<strong>Andana,</strong> hotel 5 stelle all&#8217;interno della tenuta La Badiola, dove potrete vivere un&#8217;emozione irripetibile cenando <em>à </em><em>la Ducasse</em> presso il ristorante Trattoria Toscana (una stella Michelin). Magari approfittando del <strong>pacchetto speciale</strong> <a href="http://blog.hotelrelais.it/mare/pacchetto-2-notti-in-maremma/">2 notti in maremma con cena alla Trattoria Toscana e massaggio alla Spa</a> del resort. <a href="http://www.hotelrelais.it/scheda.asp?ID_Struttura=103&amp;ID_Lingua=1&amp;Tipo=4">Per info&gt;&gt;</a></p>
<p>Eventi in Maremma: inaugurata sabato 4 luglio <strong>presso la <a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantina_Petra">cantina Petra</a>, la grande mostra Fotografica di Oliviero Toscani </strong>&#8220;Razza Umana Italia&#8221;, un viaggio fatto di ritratti tra i tanti volti degli italiani, viaggio che Toscani iniziò proprio da Suvereto. La mostra resterà aperta fino al 31 dicembre 2009 tutti i giorni dalle 18 alle 23 (il sabato su prenotazione).</p>

Giornata di grandi eventi in città: il calcio storico, la regata in Arno e i &#8220;fochi&#8221; sparati dal Piazzale Michelangelo.</p>
<p>Per l&#8217;occasione <strong>Firenze ha deciso di organizzare una serata a favore dell&#8217;Abruzzo:</strong> una kermesse artistico &#8211; culturale per ricostruire la Torre Medicea di Santo Stefano di Sessanio in Abruzzo. L’ evento di mercoledì 24 giugno servirà infatti a costituire la base di una <strong>raccolta fondi destinata ad avviare la ricostruzione della Torre Medicea di Santo Stefano di Sessanio,</strong> incantevole borgo in provincia dell’Aquila, la cui torre-simbolo andata <strong>distrutta dal terremoto </strong>fu fatta costruire proprio dalla famiglia de’ Medici che ne ebbe il dominio fra il 1579 e il 1743. Periodo nel quale raggiunse il massimo splendore con il fiorente commercio della lana che lì veniva prodotta per poi essere lavorata in Toscana ed esportata in tutta Europa.</p>
<p>I <strong>Cameristi del Maggio Musicale </strong>diretti da Domenico Pierini offriranno ai presenti in anteprima il concerto che, a luglio, porteranno a Pechino: Cjaikovskij, Britten e i Concerti per due e per quattro violini da L’Estro Armonico di Antonio VIVALDI. Seguiranno performances, videoinstallazioni e degustazioni d’alta cucina. In gemellaggio con Salemi, città siciliana più volte colpita dal terremoto, interverranno <strong>Vittorio Sgarbi e Oliviero Toscani</strong>.</p>
<p>Sarà possibile ammirare i “Fochi” dal Giardino di Villa Bardini, da poco eletto da una giuria di esperti uno dei dieci giardini più belli d’Italia. Dalla Terrazza Bardini si gode di una posizione panoramica unica su Firenze e per l&#8217;occasione verrà animata da un contesto di musica, degustazioni, installazioni video e fotografiche, in una lunga serata glam per aiutare l’Abruzzo, all’insegna del piacere e dell’eleganza. Dalle 18.30 fino a tarda notte.</p>
<p>Per la gioia del palato, dalla città di Salemi arrivano le delizie di “Salemi e Pepemi” una associazione di produttori Salemitani ideata da Umberto Montano e Oliviero Toscani per “un boccone sul tardi”: la cittadina siciliana infatti, ancora terremotata dal ’68, presta il suo contributo a Santo Stefano di Sessanio. Testimonial sarà il sindaco VITTORIO SGARBI.</p>
<p>La<strong> manifestazione ha scopo benefico.</strong><br />
La quota minima di partecipazione è di 50 euro a persona.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://blog.hotelrelais.it/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/castellobenichi.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-307" style="float: left; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 6px;" title="castellobenichi" src="http://blog.hotelrelais.it/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/castellobenichi-300x279.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="279" /></a>Ci siamo accorti dalle statistiche e da alcune mail ricevute, che sono in molti a cercare un alloggio diverso, capace di regalare un&#8217;emozione speciale per il proprio <strong>soggiorno in Toscana</strong>.<br />
<strong>Dormire in un antico castello</strong>, è come fare un tuffo nel passato: è come tornare indietro nel tempo, fra dame e cavalieri. E&#8217; un&#8217;esperienza unica, di grande fascino, che non tutte le destinazioni possono offrire. Fortunatamente <strong>la Toscana è una delle regioni più ricche di Storia</strong>, che è riuscita nei secoli a mantenere intatte alcune delle sue bellezze architettoniche a riprova del grande fermento culturale che l&#8217;ha sempre contraddistinta.</p>
<p>Spesso a queste <strong>dimore storiche</strong> sono collegate episodi storici di rilievo o anche semplici leggende o racconti di gesti epici: <em>famiglie che hanno combattuto per il predominio fra diversi feudi, innamorati divisi e destinati all&#8217;allontanamento, nemici imprigionati e segregati dal resto del mondo</em>. Varcando la soglia di un vecchio portone trecentesco o passando vicino a un torrione merlato, si possono immaginare le vicissitudini che hanno popolato quelle antiche pietre.</p>
<p>Fra i soci del <strong>Consorzio Hotel Relais</strong> ci sono alcuni dei più bei castelli toscani, tutti diversi per posizione e struttura, ma accomunati da una grande ricercatezza negli arredi e nel garantire il massimo comfort delle modernità alle quali siamo abituati.</p>
<p>Il <strong><a href="http://www.hotelrelais.it/scheda.asp?ID_Struttura=91">Castelletto di Montebenichi</a></strong> nel <strong>Valdarno</strong>, che occupa la <strong>torre di una fortezza medievale </strong>del 12esimo secolo, voluta come difesa fra Siena e Firenze, da parte dei conti Guidi ha riacquistato l&#8217;antico splendore dopo un restauro accurato e una ricerca pregiata nell&#8217;arredamento, diventando molto più di un semplice hotel. Il Castelletto di Montebenichi è come un piccolo museo privato dove poter passare una vacanza eslusiva e accogliente.</p>
<p>Completamente diverso il <a href="http://www.hotelrelais.it/scheda.asp?ID_Struttura=98"><strong>Castello di Vicarello</strong></a>, residenza di campagna nata sull&#8217;antico Castello di &#8220;Vico&#8221; risalente al 1100, nella provincia di <strong>Grosseto</strong>. Una dimora storica circondata da boschi secolari e non lontana dall&#8217;Argentario, per regalare un soggiorno di pace in un luogo storico, vicino al mare.</p>
<p>Il <a href="http://www.hotelrelais.it/scheda.asp?ID_Struttura=97"><strong>Castello Banfi </strong></a>si trova nelle terre del <strong>Brunello di Montalcino</strong>, a sud di <strong>Siena</strong>: le lussuose camere e le suites del Borgo di Castello Banfi, ricavate dalle antiche case di pietra intorno alle mura e alle torri della fortezza medievale, sono famose tanto quanto l&#8217;immensa tenuta vitivinicola che produce alcuni dei più famosi e premiati vini di tutta la Toscana.</p>
<p>Sempre nei pressi di Montalcino si trova il <strong>Castello di Velona,</strong> con l&#8217;antica torre di guardia del 12esimo secolo. Il Castello al momento è chiuso ma riaprirà nel 2010 con una splendida Spa.</p>
<p>Il<strong> Relais <a href="http://www.hotelrelais.it/scheda.asp?ID_Struttura=80#">Castel Bigozzi</a>,</strong> nei pressi di <strong>Monteriggioni,</strong> in provincia di Siena, è uno dei <strong>castelli fortezza più antichi </strong>della zona, che fu anche rifugio delle truppe ghibelline. Nel Medioevo il castello apparteneva agli avi dell&#8217;antica famiglia nobile dei Montanini. Il suo stemma ne racconta la storia: un leone nero simbolo di coraggio e battaglie, di glorie e disfatte all&#8217;interno di uno scudo rosso, come la terra senese.</p>
