Grosseto ::.
Maremma

This is the name of the area in the province of Grosseto, one of the least populated areas in Italy which hosts the Parco Naturale dell’Uccellina. Cities on the coast at Punta Ala, Cala Martina and, of course, Castiglione della Pescaia, (with the castle Rocca Aragonese) are ideal for spending your holiday.

For hiking, the Monte d’Alma or Poggio Ballone are recommended. In small villages like Buriano, Scarlino or Gavorrano you may still feel the atmosphere of ancient times.

The medieval town of Massa Marittima, developed as a mining settlement and hosts the Museo della Miniera.

Follonica is a lively summer tourist resort with very active nightlife and many bathing establishments.

Close to the lagoon of Orbetello, but in the inland, lie the small towns of Capalbio and Saturnia (famous for its hot sulphurous thermal springs).

In Gorello, nearby, you can take a bath, free of charge, without having to enter the Terme di Saturnia establishment.

Other interesting towns are the Etruscan Vetulonia, Pitigliano (built on a tufo rock), Manciano and Vulci.

Not to miss, a visit to the promontory of the Argentario, with beautiful landscape, rich vegetation and the exclusive summer resorts of Porto Ercole and Porto Stefano.
