Arli Hotel Hideaway Punta Ala

The Arli Hotel Hideaway is in Via del Pozzino, inside Punta Ala, the village of Castiglione della Pescaia that closes the gulf of Follonica to the north. It is an area of pine woods, low villas and quiet roads, with the marina and the golf course a few minutes away and the Maremma behind. The beach can be reached on foot and the hotel has an arrangement with a beach club.

The house is devoted exclusively to adults. The accommodation ranges from double and triple rooms to studios and two room flats with a kitchenette, almost all with a terrace or an outdoor dining area, and the garden holds the complex together. Pets are allowed on request.

Swimming pool and wellness area

The heart of the day is the outdoor infinity pool, fitted with a counter current swimming system and a whirlpool area: here you really swim, you do not just float. Beside it, the wellness area gathers a Finnish sauna, a Scottish shower for hot and cold contrast, a relaxation area and a gym equipped by Technogym, where fitness and yoga classes are also held.

Here something must be said that the agencies do not say: the property's own lists make no mention of a steam bath. Anyone looking for steam goes away empty handed, while anyone looking for a sauna, a whirlpool and a serious pool to train in will find what they need. There is no second area reserved for families, because the whole property is for adults.

It is the address for those who want Punta Ala without the crowds: sailing, golf, horse riding, bicycle rides and tastings inland during the day, and in the evening a lit swimming pool with the sound of the pine woods around it.
