Punta Ala is a famous seaside resort, annexed to the town of Castiglione della Pescaia in the province of Grosseto. The place that took the name of Punta Troia was then changed on from the great Italian aviator Italo Balbo, who had purchased some fortifications and houses in the area and then became its residences, to change its name in Punta Ala, taking its cue from aeronautical jargon. This current centre of tourism has been developing during the twentieth century, especially during the'70s.

Saturnia is located just a short distance away from the famous thermal springs and blends in perfectly with the Maremma area’s typical, gently rolling hills.
It is the ideal starting point for trips to the surrounding area, with both the sea and Monte Amiata within a 50 minute car driving. Despite its small size, the village offers a wide range of restaurants and accommodation, as well as a good selection of typical local products.
It is naturally also one of the most suitable places for those who wish to stay at a short distance from the Spa and make use of the thermal baths, without staying inside the establishment itself. Saturnia also has its own attractive, romantic castle, although it is private property… However, you can console yourselves by visiting the adjacent Porta Romana, with relative Roman road, and the Piazzale Bagno Secco.
Sovana is a little village in the Maremma region, located on a spur of tuff, still preserving its ancient medieval aspect. The origins of Sovana (formerly Suana) date back to very ancient times. The presence of many remarkable monuments and vestiges of the past is evidence of the ancient splendours of the Etruscans, of the Papal State and of the Aldobrandeschi family.
The first built-up area dates back to the Bronze Age, later on in VII century BC.
Pitigliano is a picturesque little village of Maremma located on a spur of tufa, falling sheer to green valleys on three sides.
As you come closer to the town you are caught by a breathtaking view of unique beauty, while an imposing arch aqueduct constructed by Medici family welcomes in all its majesty. In Pitigliano you can still admire traces of the old ancestors who inhabited this place thousands years ago
Sorano is a picturesque medieval village,located on a speer tuff spur surrounded by a flourishing and unspoiled wood vegetation. This very special position gives visitors the opportunity to walk through the village and admire unexpected and beautiful landscapes as they look over the cliff.
Sorano has preserved its typical medieval architectural structure, so you can still findwhere tortuous alleys, narrow streets, courtyards, portals and cellars dug into the tuff. On the top of the tuff the imposing Orsini fortress represents one of the most important preserved examples of military architecture in Maremma. Let us remind you that in the surrounding areas there are many archaeological sites which testify to the ancient presence of Etruscans.
Natural Park of Maremma, surrounded by marshes, pine woods, cultivated fields and grazing lands.
The Park area, delimited by the railway line Livorno-Roma, stretches along the Tyrrhenian coast from Principina a Mare to Alberese, and up to Talamone. The Park is characterized by important geographical elements such as the last stretch of the river Ombrone, the orographic system of the mountains of the Uccellina which reaches 417 meters of height in Poggio Lecci, the marsh area of the Trappola, and the coast which is both sandy and characterized by steep cliffs.
