…Montalto di Castro, Marina di Montalto and Pescia Romana, in the heart of Lazial Maremma, offer their guests the quality of a stay made to meet the expectations of a tourism respectful of nature and passionate about history and traditions.

Equipped seaside resorts in summer, helped by mild weather in spring and autumn, Marina di Montalto and Pescia Romana are holiday destinations; here each season "makes sense", even five. Sight, to enjoy breathtaking views; Taste, to taste the dishes of traditional farming and certified agricultural products; Hearing, Smell and Touch, to discover intimate links with the past and to live a present characterized by a generous and seductive nature.

The profile of medieval MONTALTO DI CASTRO draws and colours the broad and outstretched landscape; here visitors are welcomed by the stronghold of the Orsini castle that, according to a legend, stands on the site where Desiderio, a famous lombard king, in the seventh century built a castle. From the town you can see the panorama of the coast, where MARINA DI MONTALTO discreetly extends up to dive in the beautiful pine forest. Marina di Montalto attracts holidaymakers due to its long coastline, so well equipped and characterized by an extensive and rare dune vegetation.

Useful information

Montalto di Castro Theater is a great monolith of concrete, characterized by slight variations in colour and texture, on which the stage tower is leaning so ethereal: a volume in U-glass industrial glass that dematerializes at daylight mingling with the sky and at night, lit from within, turns into a big "lantern". While entering the theatre the spectator is introduced in a continuous open space in where foyer and stalls flow freely in each other. The theater has also an outdoor arena that allows viewers to enjoy the theatre scene.
