Where we are
Set on the coast of Tuscany Maremma in the province of Grosseto, right in the heart of the Sun Gulf between Piombino and Punta Ala and facing the Tuscan Archipelago, Follonica has been a popular tourist and sea resort since the early Sixties. Lovely pinewoods, a luxuriant Mediterranean bush, long, sandy beaches, romantic coves and crystal-blue waters are the perfect mix for special holidays. Follonica is somehow secluded, almost hidden away by the beauty of the landscape of Tuscany Maremma, gently sloping towards the sea, low and clean. Every year the European Blue Flag vouches for the quality of waters and the cleanliness of this stretch of Tuscany coast. The golden sands of Cala Violina to the South, Torre Mozza and Carbonifera to the North, with the Sterpaia Coast Park, a pleasant oasis of dunes and shady pinewoods mirrored in one of the loveliest seas stretches in the Region, are only a few minutes' drive away.
The Tuscan Archipelago and the Isle of Elba are within easy reach. You can discover the stunning beauty of Pianosa, Giglio and Capraia on a sailing excursion or mini-cruise departing daily from Piombino and Castiglione della Pescaia. In the nearby area you can also visit the archaeological sites of Gavorrano, the seat of a mining park, and the Etruscan and Roman necropolises and settings of Vetulonia and Populonia. Gourmet visitors longing for the flavours of typical Tuscan produce (wines, olive oil and scores of well-known specialities) will enjoy a tour along the Monteregio Wine Trail , inside the Metallifere Hills, and Bolgheri district in the Upper Tuscan Maremma. Grosseto, the Maremma Nature Park and the well-known resort of Castiglione della Pescaia are less than half an hour's drive away.
