The hotel
is in an excellent position on a hill, in the port area
of Piombino, and is about 200 metres from the ferries for
Elba, Corsica and Sardinia. It is within easy reach of local
places of cultural, archaeological and naturalistic interest
such as the Etruscan necropolis at Baratti, and the enchanting
medieval village of Populonia - both only a few kilometres
away. Trips can easily be organised to more distant locations
such as Pisa, Florence, Larderello, San Gimignano and Volterra.
From Piombino small beaches can be
reached which nestle into green countryside. In the town itself
there is an archaeological museum, a marine biology research
centre, as well as a variety of monuments like the ancient port,
the church of S. Antimo and the castle of the Appiani.
Visits to the Wine Road and to the Val di Cornia Park are absolute
musts in any stay in Tuscany.
