“Pre-historic hunters who lived in the Uccellina caves liked it and the Etruscans and Romans liked it enough to turn it into a major sea-port and build imposing villas with swimming pools. Medieval Lords liked it too as did the Siennese who fortified the town and the Spanish who further strengthened its defences.”

It has lost nothing of its appeal today; people remain enchanted by its untamed rocky shoreline and the endless blue of the sea not to mention the the green of its fields and Mediterranean brush and the fierceness of the warm prevailing wind.”

Talamone:

Talamone is a town in the Tuscan Maremma, it easily reached from Via Aurelia, and is about 25 km from Grosseto and 10 from Orbetello.

The village lies on a rocky promontory, which lies on the southern border of the Maremma nature reserve, in a dominant position along the whole stretch of coast arriving at Mount Argentario.

Among the monuments of interest is the fortress which stands out from the promontory, overlooking the entire village and along the coastal stretch.

The local beach of Talamone has become a very popular area to practice the sport of Kitesurfing.You can also visit the Lagoon Aquarium, which consists of ten tanks. In 2008 it was one of the sets used for the movie 007 – Quantum of Solace.
