 Punta Ala is a
delightful location in the highly varied district of the Tuscan
Maremma. This pearl of the Tyrrhenian is not far from 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 full 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 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. There is a 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. |
