The charming Punta Ala |
|
Punta Ala is a delightful location in the highly varied district of the Tuscan Maremma. This pearl of the Tyrrhenian is not far from the renowned art resorts such as Pisa, Florence and Siena, and stands out for the exclusive elegance it offers its visitors. It is the charming tip of a promontory which breaks up as it reaches the sea into rocks known as the Porcellini (piglets). Punta Ala is a modern fully equipped tourist resort, with a marina able to accommodate numerous yachts and sailing vessels. It has however managed to preserve the unspoilt charm of the flora which surrounds it: exuberant Mediterranean scrub, luxuriant shady pine woods, and a pleasant rocky coastline alternated with warm golden beaches which slope down into the clear blue waters of the sea, an ideal habitat for various types of fish and shellfish. The Island of Elba rises in front of Punta Ala, and the other islands of the Tuscan archipelago are not far away. There is sea and a lot of green countryside in the woodland and lake areas which comprise the flourishing nature oases of the Maremma nature reserve and Orbetello lagoon. Excursions into the hinterland among mounted butteri (herdsmen) taking care of their herds, and relaxing visits to the health spas at Saturnia and Calidario are just two of the numerous possible holiday activities offered by this prosperous land. You can also taste a wide range of local gastronomic delights, from delicate fish-based specialties to rich dishes of meat and mushrooms.
