WWF Oasis of Burano
A Natural Paradise in the Tuscan Maremma
A few kilometres from the Borgo Vera B&B is the WWF Oasis of Burano, one of the most fascinating nature reserves in the Tuscan Maremma. Nestled in the heart of an unspoilt landscape, this oasis offers a unique opportunity to discover the region’s typical fauna and flora through excursions and educational activities in a protected and peaceful environment. The WWF Burano Oasis is an ideal place for nature lovers and birdwatchers. Here, you can admire a wide variety of migratory birds, which stop along the coast to recover during their long journey, as well as numerous species of wildlife that inhabit the reserve. As you walk along the nature trails, you can observe several species of water birds, including the rare black-winged stilt, which finds an ideal nesting habitat in the Oasis. The area is also perfect for excursions on foot or by bicycle, thanks to the numerous paths winding through the typical Maremma vegetation. You can explore brackish lakes, wetlands and natural canals, where nature blends harmoniously with the surrounding landscape. In addition, the Oasis is the starting point for learning about the history and culture of the area, thanks to the information materials and guided activities organised by the WWF.

A warm and welcoming stay in the heart of Tuscany
Nur
We stayed at the end of December 2024, we found the room very warm as we had requested, the room very clean even the bathroom. Very rustic, charming and very welcoming from the reception to the room. Equipped with all the accessories dispensabil inside the room and close to the countries to visit. Definitely we will return. Excellent!
Dream night in one of Italy's beautiful villages
Simone
Beautiful building in equally beautiful old village. It was pleasant to walk around and stop to chat with the locals, who were very warm and friendly. Fabulous rooms in the palace, spacious, clean and tastefully decorated. Good breakfast on the terrace with exceptional views.
Very friendly staff.Difficult to find weak points. Access by car, in case you have to unload heavy luggage, is certainly not easy, but impossible to improve…
Comfort, beautiful views and delicious breakfast
Federico
Room as in the photos. Comfortable and cosy. Well cared for even in the furnishings, exterior with beautiful views and very friendly and helpful staff. Excellent breakfast. Absolutely recommended, we will return.
Peace corner in Petroio
Enrico
The structure is wonderful, in a strategic position for visiting the Val d’Orcia, with staff who are always helpful and smiling. The hamlet is a little stone jewel, immersed in peace and silence. Travelling in 3 with the little dog, we were surprised by the double room and double bathroom, perfect for our needs. The furnishings are in style with the place, with elegant frescoes, air conditioning in both rooms and spacious bathrooms. Breakfast, served in the garden with a wonderful view, is plentiful and quality.
Perfect for families: excellent view, location and welcome
Lorenzo
Large and comfortable room (we took the suite because we have two small girls ..) overlooking the valley, breakfast good and plentiful and strategic location for visiting the most popular villages of the Val d’Orcia. But above all kindness and hospitality of the staff. Highly recommended.
We will be back very soon
Francesca
Beautiful room cosy and cool and comfortable If I really have to find a flaw it is the walk uphill to get there, but we had previously unloaded our luggage with the car right in front of reception.
Beautiful location ❤️
Anonimo
We happened by chance looking for a solution for the night on our tour in the Val d’Orcia. The palace is located in Petroio one of the many beautiful small villages in Tuscany, the location is beautiful and evocative, the rooms furnished, with taste ‘old’ and an outdoor courtyard that overlooks a beautiful view. If you are in the area I definitely recommend staying here.
Excellent location in a very deserving hamlet
Luigina Piazza
Excellent location in a very deserving hamlet. The breakfast served in the garden is pleasant. As for the staff Giovanna stands out for professionalism, kindness and courtesy, the rest almost makes it difficult to say hello……meglio that he changes profession.
Strategic location as a base for touring the beautiful Val d'Orcia
M. Martin
We were guests in this charming establishment, restored with attention to detail but, above all, maintaining a link with the historicity of the old residence. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. I recommend it to anyone who wants to go on a tour of the Orcia valley.
Excellent
Sebastian
Liked: Cleanliness, staff and service, condition and amenities of the room. We stayed in a spacious room with a stunning view of the mountains. The room was very clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We travelled with our teenage daughter and we all thoroughly enjoyed our five-night stay. The breakfast was fantastic. The city is very charming.
Excellent
