Albergo Il Girifalco, Massa Marittima

This unpretentious, family-run two-star hotel is peacefully situated near the historic centre of Massa Marittima, in Italy's beautiful region of Tuscany. This little discovered southern Tuscan town, perched high up in the mountains, is a real find with its splendid medieval architecture and spectacular views over the hilly countryside. The town itself oozes with historic charm and is much less crowded than its more northerly Tuscan neighbours. The Albergo Il Girifalco is not far from the attractive Maremma coast, and the Etruscan city of Volterra is just a short drive over the hills. There are a couple of popular golf courses close to Massa Marittima and several equestrian centres. There are masses of trails for hiking and jogging (expert guides are available) and the hotel lends out mountain bikes free of charge.

There are 30 welcoming rooms at this Massa Marittima hotel, all with en-suite shower facilities and direct-dial telephone. Some of the rooms have wonderful views and superior rooms have satellite TV, too. Communicating rooms are available for families and there is a room which has been adapted to accommodate customers with disabilities and mobility problems.

Gastronomy is at the heart of the family's philosophy and a rich buffet breakfast includes a choice of local honeys, preserves, cheeses, cured meats and home-made cakes, while dinner features delicious traditional dishes from the Maremma, all accompanied by an excellent selection of fine Tuscan wines. The hotel has a small fitness room and a sauna and the owners can negotiate preferential rates with a local swimming pool on your behalf. Parking is free and there is an attractive outdoor play area for children.
