Castiglione "mon amour"


Urban hiking to discover the beauty of Castiglione della Pescaia and Diaccia Botrona natural reserve
Castiglione della Pescaia is one of Tuscany's most beloved tourist destinations, renowned especially for its beautiful sea and beaches awarded with the prestigious Blue Flag. Yet beyond its seaside charm, this ancient fishing village also holds secret corners and hidden wonders waiting to be explored.
We'll walk along the medieval walls up to the Aragonese Castle, where we'll enjoy breathtaking views stretching across the Maremma coastline and the Tuscan Archipelago. We'll immerse ourselves in the narrow streets of the historic village, among stone houses, picturesque views, and quiet corners that speak of local history and traditions.
The surrounding natural landscape offers additional surprises: we'll explore the extensive Diaccia Botrona Nature Reserve, an internationally significant wetland, ideal habitat for many species of aquatic birds and the perfect spot to experience Maremma’s tranquil biodiversity. Our journey will then continue towards the Tombolo Pine Forest, a lush green area linking land and sea.
