Villa Le Mandrie

Overview

In this heavenly place, in addition to the Punta Ala Golf Club, located very close to the villa, and the sailing regattas, Punta Ala also offers several alternatives regarding the beaches. The beach near the port has a slightly wild atmosphere with its white pebbles that lead to various rocks, to enjoy this splendid sea. It also boasts a very long beach which can be accessed from the vast pine forest and which is an excellent solution for those looking for a holiday surrounded by nature. Punta Ala is ideal as a starting point for exploring the famous neighbouring beaches, for example in Castiglione della Pescaia, or for venturing into the hinterland to visit small borghi. Services and shops for basic needs are only 1 km away.

Villa Le Mandrie has been subjected to a check-up by a technical responsible before the beginning of the season, to ensure consistency of the description, accessories listed on this page and their present state of operation/maintenance, to guarantee quality, cleanliness and comforts to all clients who will stay here.

Distances

Punta Ala is a well-known tourist resort characterised by the presence of a well-equipped port, located at the north-western end of the municipal area of Castiglione della Pescaia. It is largely covered by dense Mediterranean scrub. The modern residential area is dominated by the bulk of the Balbo Castle, also known as the Punta Ala Fort, which is located at the top of the promontory of Capo Troia.

Punta Ala is set in the territory of the Tuscan Maremma and is made up of a small peninsula surrounded by the sea, with scenery and places of extreme charm and absolute uniqueness; the coast is certainly among the most beautiful in the whole area and the hinterland offers the opportunity of visiting the remains of ancient settlements of the Etruscans and Romans, castles and fortresses of medieval origin and many magnificent nature reserves. Among the events that take place in the area, a place of honour must undoubtedly be reserved for the sailing regattas organised by the Yacht Club, which has hosted the boat, Luna Rossa, for a long time.

Less than a mile off the coast of Punta Ala is the rock of the Sparviero, a tiny island where Italo Balbo built his beautiful villa in which he received the most prominent personalities of the time. A place with such a worldly past, it is today a favourite destination for birdwatchers thanks to the great variety of bird species that nest on this island. The beauties of the seabed attract divers and snorkellers who find a lot of interesting areas to explore here. In addition, the gently sloping seabed and the crystalline water make the area ideal for a holiday with children. About 1 km away are grocery shops, bars and typical restaurants.
