Discover Province of Grosseto - Travel to Province of Grosseto

If you are thinking about your next holidays and you would like to visit a warm and beautiful country like Italy, but you would like to visit an area that isn't packed with tourists yet has a lot to offer to whoever decides to visit it, I might have the perfect place for you.

This little town in the province of Grosseto, in the amazing region of Toscana, only has about nine thousand inhabitants, so if you want a quiet place to spend some days on your next holidays this is the ideal place to find some peace of mind while seeing beautiful things. Simply walking around the town of Gavorrano will be an extremely exciting experience that will make you feel as if you had just been catapulted back to centuries ago. Why do I say that? Because between some of the streets of Gavorrano, you will come across pieces of the wall which used to protect the village back in the 12th century. In fact, many parts of the village will make you believe you are living in the medieval age thanks to all the buildings which were built in that style.

Also walking around Gavorrano you will come across the Palazzo del Comune, which was built in 1822 and which was reconstructed in 1984. Although sometimes it's closed to the public, you will still be able to admire its gorgeous classical facade. And if you are a big fan of theater, don't miss out on the chance to see the Teatro delle Rocce, a theater made entirely with rocks and which is in the open air.

As you must have imagined, Gavorrano, being an Italian town, has a few gorgeous churches that you could pay a visit to. One of them is the San Giuliano church, which is believed to have been built using the walls of an old rock. This church was built around the 17th century to replace an old church which was located in the same place and is the most popular church in the town of Gavorrano. Then there is also the Castello di Pietra which is, as you must have understood from the name, a castle made of stone. It was built in the 14th century which makes it one of the most important and ancient buildings in the whole region and which is still being studied today since there have been many remainings from different eras being found even in the present. Although you won't be able to visit the inside of the castle, you will be able to visit a small museum right next to it where you will get the chance to see some of the items that have been discovered there. Definitely worth a visit.

But if you are traveling to Gavorrano in the summer, I'm sure you will be happy to know there is a beach there which is perfect if you want to relax under the warm Italian sun after going for a swim in the crystalline waters of the Rocchette beach, which is as quiet and as unspoilt as it could possibly be and which will make your visit to Gavorrano that little bit more special.

The summer is just around the corner and everybody is starting to think about what part of the world needs to be discovered and lived this year. There are countless different options to be taken into consideration, after all, finding the right place can sometimes be a tricky thing to do. However, if you are looking for a cool place with great beaches that still manages to be pretty quiet so you can get the relax you are hoping to find, make Italy your next destination.

It's true that Italy is hugely popular which means there are tourists just about anywhere in the country, but it's also true that there are still, surprisingly, many parts of the country which aren't extremely popular and which makes them the perfect destination for those looking to relax while spending time on some great beaches.

That is the case with Punta Ala, a town in the province of Grosseto, in the extremely gorgeous and loved region of Tuscany. Punta Alta started being developed in the 70s, and it is now one of the best beach resorts in the whole of Tuscany and, of course, in the whole of Italy. The fact that various sailing competitions are hosted there throughout the year means that Punta Ala is, through most of the year, taken over by people who love these competitions, but the best thing is it's never too crowded which makes it the ideal place to visit.

In Punta Ala you will find an extremely gorgeous and sophisticated port, and nearby you will get further proof that is it a pretty exclusive place because you will see houses which are, literally, out of this world. The feeling of sophistication is taken one step further when you will decide to grab a bite in some of the restaurants which fill Punta Ala, where you will try some of that hugely popular Italian cuisines in some of the best restaurants you have ever seen.

One of the best and most popular beaches in Punta Ala is, without a doubt, Cala Civette. This is an unspoilt beach which you will be able to reach only if you go by foot, which means you won't find a lot of people there. However, it is well worth it, trust me. Very close by, you will also get the chance to visit the necropolis which dates back to the 8th century before Christ.

But if as well as enjoying some sailing competitions and enjoy some relaxing moments in some great beaches you want to keep yourself active, don't miss out on the chance to practice some sports. In fact, in Punta Alta, you will be able to play golf as well as book an excursion with mountain bikes, or get some lessons to learn how to windsurf and play tennis. If what you want from your next summer holidays is a great, sophisticated places where you will be able to relax and keep yourself active practicing some sports, Punta Ala is definitely the best destination you could possibly find.
