Park Hotel La Fenice, Massa Marittima

The three-star Park Hotel La Fenice near Grosseto is set in a former 19th-century mansion in the medieval Tuscan hill town of Massa Marittima, combining modern comforts with beautiful period details. The hotel offers a selection of four Comfort Double Rooms, 10 Junior Suites and four De Luxe Suites, all with a well-stocked mini bar, bathroom or shower room, air conditioning, heating, TV and hairdryer. Many also have private terraces or balconies, and all are elegantly furnished and tastefully decorated in the style of a different Tuscan city. There is a daily breakfast buffet, plus a relaxing bar for an evening drink or snack, and in the grounds there's a pretty garden and a generously sized outside swimming pool. Further convenient features include a 24-hour front desk, excellent room service and a fax and photocopying service.

Set in the unspoilt Maremma region of Tuscany, this is the perfect base to explore the Maremma Natural Park - try a horseback trek led by one of the traditional cowboys, or 'butteri', and enjoy spotting the many animals and birds of the area, including long horned cattle, wild boar, peregrines and kestrels. You're also not far from the stunning rocky coastline of peninsulas and beautiful bays, many ideal for swimming, and sandy beaches fringed with fragrant pine forests. Massa Marittima itself is also wonderful to explore, with its well-preserved medieval town centre, complete with gorgeous duomo (cathedral), palazzi (one of which houses an archaeological museum)- and churches. And spend a relaxing day enjoying the thermal baths of Calidario.
