Baglioni Resort Cala del Porto, Punta Ala

Set in pristine gardens with wonderful views out over the marina towards the island of Capraia and beyond to Elba, Cala del Porto is a member of the Baglioni Hotels Collection and The Leading Hotels of the World and has just 38 bedrooms furnished in typical Tuscan style.

It is a great place to enjoy relaxation, warm Tuscan hospitality and excellent Mediterranean cuisine. As well as a wellness centre and a summer swimming pool, the hotel has two private sandy beaches which are reached in a couple of minutes by complimentary shuttle (charges apply for loungers and parasols). There are three restaurants; ‘Belvedere’ at the hotel, ‘La Spiaggia’ and ‘La Vela’ by the beaches, and all offer locally caught seafood fresh from the Tyrrhenian Sea. Punta Ala is 90 minutes’ drive from Pisa; alternatively guests can take the train to Grosseto or Follonica from where private car transfers can be arranged.
