Charming Villas and Organic Products

Perhaps you know Terre di Sacra only for its charming villas, 5-star glamping, Dogana Beach Club, and the pristine sea and beach. However, for over 100 years, Terre di Sacra has also been an organic farm producing high-quality organic products.

Over 100 Years of History

Terre di Sacra is a place where you can experience the authentic taste of products from our organic farm, which has been active for over 100 years. We have been raising purebred Maremman cattle since 1922. Before the advent of mechanization in agriculture, these particularly muscular and robust cattle were used for land cultivation. Over time, this breed has adapted perfectly to rustic environments, thriving in the salt-rich soils typical of the Capalbio and Terre di Sacra territory. That’s why Terre di Sacra’s meat is a direct and unique expression of the Maremma’s land and culture.

The Richness of the WWF Reserve in Our Territory

Terre di Sacra is nestled in a unique territory that best represents the fusion of the wild beauty of the WWF Oasis, careful land use for stays and vacations, and the lush eco-sustainable production of our organic farm.

At the heart of the WWF ecosystem is Lake Burano. This lake is an extraordinary environment and an authentic sanctuary of biodiversity, where nature expresses itself in its utmost beauty.

The WWF Oasis of Lake Burano is the first WWF natural reserve established in Italy in 1968 and is home to rich local flora and fauna. In the evergreen Mediterranean forest, rich in junipers, cork oaks, holm oaks, but also myrtle, phillyrea, mastic, rosemary (with over 500 plant species), every moment is an opportunity for wonder. Here, over 300 bird species, including coots, common pochards, tufted ducks, marsh harriers, and water rails, make every day a unique experience. Among the mammals living in the oasis, you will be surprised to find hedgehogs, badgers, foxes, weasels, wild boars, and even wolves, which use the reserve for their migrations.

You can explore the equipped nature trail, winding along the dune overlooking the lake, with 7 observation points consisting of six huts and a lookout tower. At the Visitor Center, a small nature trail (500 m) will lead you to a corner dedicated to butterflies.

With Terre di Sacra, your stay in an area protected by the WWF will not only be a vacation but also a deep connection with nature.

Organic farm and cattle

At Terre di Sacra, we are committed to following a circular and sustainable model. Our organic Maremma cattle farm, a Slow Food presidium of the Maremma breed, extends over 100 hectares of land, guaranteeing the animals large spaces, controlled density and exclusively organic fodder:

  • our farm is organic.
  • The breeding methods protect the well-being and the original wild nature of the animals.
  • The pasture is rotated so that the turf has time to regrow.
  • Terre di Sacra applies closed cycle farming.
  • All calves are born on our territory. Once weaning is complete, the animals are placed in a pasture dedicated to them.

Organic meat from Terre di Sacra

Our herd of 160 Maremma cows has been certified organic since 2017. Our cows live in a semi-wild state and feed on the natural essences offered by our land and on the fodder totally produced on the farm, following the rules of organic farming. Care and welfare of the animals and the highest quality nutrition give the meat a unique flavour.
