This
genuine fishing village is a perfect example of the multitude and the variation
a trip to Italy can offer you: the sea, the nature and the countless remainings
of the Etruscans; the mysterious people who ruled in Etruria (nowadays Tuscany)
700 B.C. Castiglione della Pesacia has a 16 km long sandy beach that constitutes the largest part of the 25 km long coast stretch. The picturesque harbour makes the locality a popular destination for sailing boats from the entire world. The historical centre of the locality has plenty of shops, boutiques, restaurants, bars and cafées. Of course there are also relaxation possibilities in a genuine environment and this is actually one of the most distinctive features of Castiglione della Pescaia, the contrast between the beach life and entertainment and the beautiful nature. Castiglione della Pescaia is situated 23 km from Grosseto, 20 km from Punta Ala (departure point for boats going to the Elba Island), 100 km from Pisa, 160 km from Florence and 210 km from Rome. Castiglione della Pescaia is also an excellent starting point for interesting daily excursions. Apart from the cities mentioned above it is also worth to visit : Vetulonia (historical culture centre, 24 km from Castiglione), Buriano (a very old mountian village), several archeological locations like: Roselle, Sovana, Grosseto (with the archeological museum of Maremma) and Volterra (with a Etruscan museum). For nature lovers we can recommend: The Diaccia marsh (located in the outskirts of Castiglione, famous for its fantastic birds), the nature reserves WWF at lake Burano and the nature reserve of Maremma, Saturnia (a spa resort with sulfate springs, 37 C hot water) and the fortress of Sorano. Castiglione della Pescaia – An all year around destination!
