A delightful seaside resort of the Etruscan Coast situated on a green promontory, is one of the most popular holiday spots in Tuscany. It is particulary noted for its dense pine woods and for the varied coastline which is broken by numerous creeks inlets and sandy beaches. The climate is mild and wonderfully healthy: a light north-westery wind blows almost continuously and the air is scented by the sea and by the perfume of the pine trees.
