Visit the Residence I Macchiaioli, an exclusive accommodation in etruscan coast
The area of the Residence I Macchiaioli, accommodation in Etruscan coast, is also a dream holiday for lovers of good cuisine: a number of fine restaurants along the coast serve up typical Tuscan fish specialties, such as Cacciucco alla Livornese [local fish stew], or Triglie Fragoline [red mullet]. In the hinterland, the genuine cuisine of Maremma predominates, with a wealth of traditional delicacies: crostini, salumi [cured meats] and cheeses, mixed grilled meats and homemade pasta served with boar sauce.
A holiday stay at Castiglioncello offers many opportunities - and for all tastes, really.
The "I Macchiaioli" compound is situated on a hillside overlooking the sea. On clear days, one can see the islands of the Tuscan Archipelago; in fact, the 180° view ranges from the island of Gorgona to the Argentario peninsula, and all the way to Sardinia and Corsica.
Situated on the slopes of the Chioma protected parkland, the residence offers visitors strikingly romantic sunsets. The entire area is enclosed, with automatic gates and intercoms at the entrances - providing greater security for guests. The estate comprises a flower garden and grove extending over a small hillside, as well as a vast vineyard. Slightly raised and overlooking the Etruscan coastline below, a stunning swimming pool and large solarium create an ideal contact with vastness of the sea. An ever-present breeze provides a relaxing and recreational atmosphere in the two barbecue areas.
Finally, we recommend a visit to the small hamlets of the hinterland, to relive age-old atmospheres and savour the typical local food specialties - accompanied by the music and enjoyment of country fairs.
Castiglioncello is also situated just a short distance from a great many Etruscan sites: Baratti, Populonia, Suvereto, Campiglia and Volterra, all of which feature museums with a rich collection of relics. In addition, there are Roman sites at Vada, Cecina, and a great many interesting Medieval towns such as Massa Marittima - as well as parks and nature reserves such as the one at Bolgheri, not to mention that this latter locality produces some of the most internationally acclaimed prize-winning wines, notably the Sassicaia and Ornellaia.
Enjoy your stay at the Residence I Macchiaioli, accommodation in Etruscan coast.
