Authentic experiences in Tuscany

Discover authentic experiences in Tuscany with the proposals of Cala Beach Resort, a 5-star property located in Punta Ala, in an area rich in history and culture, with breathtaking nature and traditions waiting to be explored.

This highly varied setting makes it possible to design activities of different kinds, able to satisfy every type of traveler.

We begin with taste through “Cooking Classes” led by the chefs of Ristorante VistAmare, to learn the dishes, flavors, and secrets of the Maremma tradition, using typical ingredients and enjoying what has been prepared.

We continue with “Tuscan Wine Tastings”, an experience that brings you into contact with the region’s rich wine heritage through a guided tour that will take you into the area—visiting wineries and restaurants where you can enjoy lunch and taste some of the finest local labels.

Authentic outdoor experiences in Tuscany

The landscape surrounding the Resort is perfect for those who love adventure and outdoor sports.

Experiencing the outdoor side of the Maremma means exploring trails winding through maritime pines and cliffs.

You can do so by cycling along low-traffic roads with routes suitable both for casual riders and for those more experienced on two wheels.

You also have the opportunity to enjoy horseback excursions through the landscapes of the Tuscan coast together with expert guides.

Or you can admire the coastline from a different perspective with sailing trips, windsurfing, wakeboard, wakesurfing, wakeskating, water skiing, SUP, canoeing, and pedal boats.

Authentic lifestyle experiences in Tuscany

The experiences carefully selected by the Cala Beach Resort team will allow guests to discover Tuscany in an authentic way.

The Maremma lifestyle takes us beyond the resort, to explore some of the region’s most beautiful places:

• Pitigliano, Sorano, and Sovana: three villages in the province of Grosseto offering a glimpse of Tuscany at its most authentic and profound—picturesque stone towns with cobbled streets, welcoming cafés, and charming squares;

• Bolgheri: famous for its Cypress Avenue, about one hour by car from Punta Ala, enchanting visitors with its historic streets, the Castello dei Conti della Gherardesca, and the WWF Padule di Bolgheri Oasis;

• Scansano: set between the sea and Monte Amiata, this village has a millennia-old history and preserves medieval charm, with fairytale views and a strong food-and-wine tradition;

• Massa Marittima: in the heart of the Metalliferous Hills, an ancient town featuring the Romanesque Cathedral, the Cathedral of San Cerbone, Piazza Garibaldi, the Palazzo del Podestà, the Town Hall, the Loggia del Mercato, the Mint, and the Fonte dell’Abbondanza with the fresco Tree of Fertility;

• Monte Argentario: the sea-facing promontory is an ideal destination for nature lovers. Here you can explore hidden coves by boat, enjoy the countryside with trekking and sports, discover local food-and-wine traditions, and visit Porto Santo Stefano and Porto Ercole.

Finally, there’s also room for shopping with a visit to The Mall: the outlet just outside Florence featuring numerous luxury brands that embody the legacy of Florentine elegance, with prestigious boutiques and iconic labels.
