BOOK
THE SPIRIT OF THE WEST IN THE

HEART OF TUSCANY

Luxury, bespoke riding experiences in authentic western saddle, immersed in Tuscany’s unspoiled nature—where freedom, elegance, and authenticity ride as one.

Gio Ranch is a western-style horseback riding farm set within the magnificent House of Gio Estate, just 15 km from Castiglione della Pescaia in southern Tuscany. Surrounded by one of Maremma’s most unspoiled valleys, Gio Ranch offers an authentic western experience with expert ENGEA-certified guides, custom Italian western saddles, and a herd of exceptionally well-trained American Quarter Horses.

Our riding escapes are designed for all levels — from confident beginners to experienced riders — with programs that celebrate nature, culture, gastronomy, and the quiet rhythm of country life.
