Hotel Torre Di Cala Piccola, Porto Santo Stefano

If you love having a sea view, then the four-star Hotel Torre Di Cala Piccola in Porto Santo Stefano near Grosseto in Tuscany is the perfect place. Set on a cliff 100 metres above the sea, with a view that includes the 17th-century Spanish Tower and nearby islands, the hotel offers a selection of 50 bedrooms, connected by stairways and gardens full of olive trees and oleander bushes. The stone-built double rooms were originally designed as individual apartments, and many have balconies overlooking the sea. All rooms - double, triple and quadruple - are equipped with a well-stocked mini bar, satellite TV, air conditioning, bathroom, heating and a phone. The junior terraces also have a kitchenette area and a terrace.

The excellent hotel restaurant, La Cambusa, serves a wide selection of traditional meat and fish dishes along with regional wines and cocktails, which you can enjoy at tables on the lawn directly overlooking the sea: the perfect spot from which to enjoy a sunset over the islands. There is also a stunning outdoor swimming pool, plus a shuttle bus to the hotel's private beach.

This is a great base for exploring the many attractions of this unspoilt Maremma region of Tuscany. As well as enjoying the beach and visiting the historical Etruscan towns, you can go trekking, scuba diving or play golf. Business travellers, meanwhile, can make use of the dedicated meeting room for up to 60 people, which is air conditioned and well-equipped with internet connections, fax and photocopying facilities.
