Further Details:
Follonica is a town on the gulf of the same name, bordered on the east by Punta Ala, on the west by Piombino. The island of Elba and the other islands of the Tuscan Archipelago make for it an incomparable frame.
The reasons for choosing Follonica as a holiday destination are various. For lovers of nature there is almost too much to choose from: excursions on foot, horseback and bicycle among the perfumed and luxurious Mediterranean underbrush; the possibility to take your own “Safari” photographs on land and at sea; the search, each season, for wild fruits. For sport lovers, a wide range of facilities give one the possibility to skate, swim, sail, play tennis or football, play miniature golf, practise underwater sports, or go horseback riding.
