Welcome to Castiglione della Pescaia!
Castiglione della Pescaia is a popular Tuscan seaside resort in coastal Maremma and is dominated by a fortress. It consists of hundreds of houses with a few thousand inhabitants. It is situated in a corner of coastal Maremma, between the sea and the hills.
Rocks reach to the sea and the beaches are bordered by extensive pine forests.
The fishing harbour is dominated by the mediaeval castle and the town is protected from the full force of the wind and sea by the island of Elba.
Nearby there are the marshlands of Diaccia and Botrona, which are very important for their bird life. While there you might want to visit the medieval village of Castiglione Castello, the Pineta del Tombolo, and the Riva del Sole e Punta Ala. Here you will enjoy all the tranquility of the sea.
