Didnt see any birds. Except in big distance

We went to see flamingos. The visitor center was not open so we went for a shorts walk with our kids. We saw a few flamingos. They were just white and not pink.

Beautiful spot for bird watching. Male sure to bring binoculars with you. Also mosquito spray. You can also book a boatstour lasting 1h.

Free parking available in front of the park. Definitely worth visiting!

Friendly, professional guides at the museum and a nice evening walk. Be aware of opening hours.

Never visit it in Summer! Too hot and humid. I almost fainted. Plus...avoid the boat tour. Too short and too expensive. 12 euros each!!! Holy smokes! You can birwatch the same from the roof of the Red House Ximenes. Or walk to the observation point for free.

We had a lovely walk today round the reserve. They do need to replace the notice boards with details of the wildlife as they unreadable.

(Translated by Google) Castiglione is a nice harbor town far away from the big tourist crowds - we felt like we met more locals here. It's a nice castle and a nice promenade. It was amusing to meet Italian women in fur in April when it was 21 degrees. The harbor and beaches are well maintained. I was able to show mostly positive things about this city! (Original) Castiglione ist ein nettes Hafenstädtchen fern der großen Touristenströme - hier haben wir gefühlt mehr Einheimische angetroffen. Es ist eine nette Burg und eine nette Flaniermeile. Es war amüsant im April bei 21 Grad Italienerinnen im Pelz zu begegnen. Der Hafen und die Strände sind gepflegt. Ich konnte mich überwiegend positiv über diese Stadt zeigen!

(Translated by Google) Ugly architectural structure (a shed), not what you expect from a church, but welcoming, as you should expect from the Church. The priest demonstrated competence and excellent communication skills during the mass. Children welcomed, even if noisy. (Original) Struttura architettonica brutta (un capannone), non quello che ci si aspetta da una chiesa, ma accogliente, come ci si dovrebbe aspettare dalla Chiesa. Il sacerdote durante la messa ha dimostrato competenza e ottime capacità comunicative. Bambini bene accolti, anche se rumorosi.

(Translated by Google) This summer 2023 the Holy Mass has started again in Riva del Sole, it is celebrated outdoors in the municipal park (access to the rainbow baths) adjacent to Riva del Sole every Saturday at 6.00 pm. In previous years this Mass was suspended but this year it has started again! (Original) Questa estate 2023 è ricominciata la Santa Messa a Riva del sole, viene celebrata all'aperto presso il parco comunale (accesso bagni arcobaleno) adiacente al Riva del Sole tutti i sabati alle 18.00.

(Translated by Google) Neoclassical style church located in Paduline. Outside there is the bronze statue of Santa Maria Goretti, inside there is the wooden statue of San Guglielmo. Around the church, the "San Francesco" hall, the new rectory, rooms for catechesis and other areas for pastoral care were created. (Original) Chiesa in stile neoclassico situata in località Paduline. All'esterno c'è la statua bronzea di Santa Maria Goretti, all'interno c'è la statua lignea di San Guglielmo. Attorno alla chiesa sono state realizzate il salone "San Francesco", la nuova canonica ,stanze per la catechesi e altri ambienti per pa pastorale.

(Translated by Google) The main church has been under renovation for a few years and mass is not celebrated, a "shed" has been set up to replace it. There is a very convenient car park made available by the church itself which is closed with a gate at the end of the celebration. (Original) La chiesa principale e’ in ristrutturazione da qualche anno e non viene celebrata la messa, è stato allestito un “capannone” che la sostituisce. C’è un parcheggio messo a disposizione dalla chiesa stessa molto comodo che alla fine della celebrazione viene chiuso con il cancello.

(Translated by Google) The place is temporary, without the charm of traditional churches, but if the visit has only cultural purposes I suggest the high church, near the cemetery, or the small one inserted into the walls, (Madonna del Giglio) if instead the visit has a religious motivation, the environment takes second place and the encounter with Jesus is beautiful all the same. (Original) Il posto è provvisorio, senza la suggestione delle chiese tradizionali, però se la visita ha solo scopo culturale suggerisco la chiesa alta, vicino al cimitero, oppure quella piccola inserita nelle mura, (Madonna del giglio) se invece la visita ha una motivazione religiosa, l'ambiente passa in secondo piano e l'incontro con Gesù è bello lo stesso.

(Translated by Google) The church isn't much... the presence of air conditioning is excellent (Original) La chiesa non è un granché … ottima la presenza dell’aria condizionata

(Translated by Google) We actually attended the Holy Mass outside the church. I don't know if it is under restoration. (Original) In realta' abbiamo assistito alla Santa Messa all'esterno della chiesa. Non so se sia in restauro.

Castiglione Della Pescaia is indeed a beautiful and interesting place, but in certain places, especially in the evening hours, it is flooded with an inexhaustible crowd of tourists, which somewhat spoils the impression. It also deviates upwards in price compared to other places in the area. But it has an interesting old core, built around and under a medieval castle, with some churches, palaces and squares. The city is clean, and the surrounding area is also worth seeing...

(Translated by Google) The Castle that dominates the village originates from a watchtower built by the Pisans and was expanded in the 15th century by the Aragonese until it took on the appearance of a real fortress. In the following two centuries the other two towers were built, while the curtain walls and the buildings between them were built in the Renaissance period. Modified under Cosimo I and then with the Lorena family at the end of the 18th century, it underwent a total restoration in the early 20th century by the architect Lorenzo Porciatti, who made it his private residence. It cannot be visited as it is private property. The castle consists of three corner towers crowned by battlements at the top, the most massive of which is the original Torre Pisana. The building is located on the western side which looks towards the sea, while on the other sides the area of ​​the complex is delimited by curtain walls which delimit an internal courtyard. Another curtain wall, equipped with battlements, begins from the south-western tower and delimits the area around the southern side of the castle. Near the tower, an arched door opens which leads to a panoramic terrace. (Original) Il Castello che domina il borgo prende origine da una torre di avvistamento costruita dai pisani e fu ampliato nel XV secolo dagli aragonesi fino ad assumere l'aspetto di una vera e propria fortezza. Nei due secoli successivi furono costruite le altre due torri, mentre le cortine murarie e i corpi di fabbrica tra esse compresi vennero edificati in epoca rinascimentale. Modificato sotto Cosimo I e poi con i Lorena alla fine del XVIII secolo, subì un restauro totale nei primi del XX secolo ad opera dell'architetto Lorenzo Porciatti, che ne fece la propria residenza privata. Non è visitabile in quanto proprietà privata. Il castello è costituito da tre torri angolari coronate da merlature sommitali, la più massiccia delle quali è l'originaria Torre Pisana. Il corpo di fabbrica è collocato sul lato occidentale che guarda verso il mare, mentre sugli altri lati l'area del complesso è delimitata da cortine murarie che delimitano un cortile interno. Un'altra cortina muraria, provvista di merli, ha inizio dalla torre sud-occidentale e delimita l'area attorno al lato meridionale del castello. Nei pressi della torre, si apre una porta ad arco che conduce ad una terrazza panoramica.

(Translated by Google) Excellent panoramic point, interesting site even if the castle, now private, can no longer be visited inside. Recommended especially before sunset because the view of the whole of Castiglione is beautiful (Original) Ottimo punto panoramico , sito interessante anche se il castello, ormai privato, non è più visitabile all’interno. Consigliato soprattutto prima del tramonto perché la vista di tutta Castiglione è bellissima

(Translated by Google) I haven't visited the castle but Castiglione is very beautiful.. in the evening there is nightlife (Original) Il castello non l'ho visitato ma castiglione è molto bella.. alla sera poi è movida notturna

(Translated by Google) The castle of Castiglione della Pescaia dominates the medieval village and the coast from above. Its imposing structure, made up of crenellated walls and watchtowers, tells centuries of history. From its walls you can enjoy a breathtaking view that ranges from the sea to the surrounding hills. Once an impregnable stronghold, today the castle is a fascinating place to discover. Walking along its walkways you can breathe a timeless atmosphere. (Original) Il castello di Castiglione della Pescaia domina dall'alto il borgo medievale e il litorale. La sua struttura imponente, fatta di mura merlate e torri di guardia, racconta secoli di storia. Dalle sue mura si gode di una vista mozzafiato che spazia dal mare alle colline circostanti. Un tempo roccaforte inespugnabile, oggi il castello è un luogo ricco di fascino da scoprire. Passeggiando tra i suoi camminamenti si respira un'atmosfera senza tempo.

(Translated by Google) Great trip, nice view of the city and the sea. It's worth it! (Original) Toller Ausflug, schöne Sicht auf die Stadt und das Meer. Es lohnt sich!

(Translated by Google) Private defensive fortress. Nothing to see. Disappointing from the outside too. (Original) Rocca difensiva privata. Nulla da vedere. Anche dall'esterno deludente.

A first in regular trips to Castiglione Della Pescaia , this restaurant is sort of off the beaten tourist haunts , very casual , good service , the place was busy , but I certainly think food cooked fresh (not pre-prepared like some fast turnover places) expect easy , casual laid back style , nice leaning you local fresh fish produce , I would definitely recommend booking a spot in sure you'll enjoy , very unpretentious . Please note in n pictures the starter of one of my favourites if fresh is muscles (cozze) , nice spicy/garlic cooked soup was a before and after ! 😎😉😂 As one does

Fresh and tasteful seafood and beyond. Friendly and kind service. Highly recommended!

Super fresh fish, well designed menu with original special dishes, extremely attentive and dedicated staff that makes you feel special and welcome. The spaghetti alla chitarra with astice that I got were a real treat but even a comfort side dish like fries gets a special care and tasteful outcome. Very reasonable prices for the location and the offer.

It is a little hidden and outside the city center, but it is worth going. Such fantastic people and food. Recommend!

Great fish and seafood! Friendly service.

Fantastic fish dishes and great service.

It s a good quality fish restaurant outside the pedestrian zone with friendly staff. No English menus available, that always makes the decision harder. Olive oil, salt and pepper is pre-packed. Bottled oil, salt and pepper shakers would reduce waste

Gorgeous dining experience in medieval courtyard. Food was thoughtfully and beautifully prepared, the wine recommendations were equally sublime - we had a seafood tasting menu and each dish was exquisite. Lovely attentive service too.

This restaurant is a small gem in Castiglione. Located in the heart of the old town close to the castle, the restaurant offers a unique atmosphere. We had a 9 course tasting menu. They were all excellent. The quality of the products is top notch, and the different dishes are very well prepared and tasty. Staffs are welcoming and well prepared, they suggested us very good wine and explained the origin of the different ingredients used in the dish. The dinner is a culinary experience. If you plan to go there, do not expect a quick dinner (our 9 courses dinner took 2h30). You need to take your time to savor and absorb the different flavors. If you are looking for something different and very high quality you found your place. Absolutely recommended

We've spent the perfect evening at this wonderful restaurant. The friendliness of the staff & owner is just incredible, also, the creativity, taste and beautifully arranged menu was outstanding. They even surprised us with a birthday cake at the end of the evening! Make sure to ask for the daily tasting menu - it's amazing!

We ate good pizzas and the staff was very friendly. Nice place in the old town. Good service and reasonable prices.

Best Beef tartare! Great Tuna Steak! Loved the choclate mousse! Perfect service ! Beautiful ambiente! Had a really wonderful evening with my friends there.

A perfect place if you are happy to be surprised by the fixed menu they serve. The food is absolutely astonishing, the personnel and the owner of the place are friendly and proficient. The atmosphere of the place is awesome. We had an absolutely amazing dinner here and can absolutely recommend it. The food was presented in perfection. There is absolutely nothing to criticize. Grazie mille for a perfect dinner! We will be back!

One of my favourite places in Castiglione Della Pescaia. We discovered it with my mum by chance a few years back and since then we come at least once per summer when I'm back to visit from London. Incredible atmosphere, in the higher part of town. Super cordial and very knowledgeable staff (a lot of attention towards COVID safety rules too). This time around we got to try their new pizza menu and I must say they didn't disappoint. As always super fresh and local ingredient and the pizza was really good with different flavours from the usual. Couldn't recommend more!!

We had a wonderful evening together in this beautiful restaurant. Due to high occupancy, we were offered a special table in a separate room. The room resembled an old cellar vault, where the wine was also stored. It was wonderfully romantic, and we greatly enjoyed the privacy. All the waiters were extremely friendly and took excellent care of us. The food was also excellent! The seafood dishes are especially recommended. I would come back anytime. It was a very special experience!

We tried to have a drink here but were refused. The staff spoke very little English and didn’t make any effort to communicate with us. At first, they told us that drinks alone were not possible and that we had to order food. We agreed, saying we would take something to eat, but then they said everything was reserved. It felt as though, because we weren’t Italian speakers, they simply didn’t want to serve us. Very rude experience! 😕

Excellent restaurant with very delicious food and friendly staff. The food came quick and the portion was also enough to get happy :) U gotta walk up the city a bit to get to the restaurant and to sit in a cozy side street.

Went there twice in the last three days. First we got the last available table (without reservation) and received a great seat in the wine cellar which was basically a candle light dinner with perfect privacy. Staff was friendly & helpful and the owner is one cool dude! Food (Fiorentona, Carbonara & Seafood Carbonara) is amazing. 100% recommendation.

If you are ever is Castiglione Della Pescaia, definitely book a table at this restaurant. It’s tucked away closer to the top of the castle with these nice little booths outside and beautiful decoration outside. The staff is VERY friendly and their knowledge of English refreshing (I had difficulty communicating at other restaurants in the area). They were also very helpful with booking a table and making sure I was comfortable. You will leave this restaurant happily satisfied with anything on the menu, but I loved the PISTACHIO TUNA, try something different! Will be visiting again 🥰

I had an absolutely delightful evening here and would recommend to go here. The staff was super friendly and the service was great. The food came fast and was absolutely delicious. They have quite a few vegetarian and even vegan options, I will definitely come here again!

Very sweet and friendly staff 🙌. The food was very good.👌 We had a swordfish carpaccio and tuna tartar for appetizer, I had a seafood pasta for main, and Andreas a fish of the day. The menu had a good wide option for gluten-free food! All was good and recommendable. ☺️

I really had a good time there with my wife. The waitress was super nice, the food was very good, we did order two fishes and both were perfect (it's no always I can say that). We order a wine and we could bring with us in a ice bucket to the beach in front of the restaurant. I really enjoyed my time here! P.S.: order a dessert!

A very over priced restaurant. The main waiter was rude and rushed us, promising amazing food. My fish was dry and overcooked, I think it was microwaved. The drinks were very expensive. The waiter who gave us the bill looked embarrased. Avoid this place.

Food. Was MEH. Picana (steak) was chewey and you could barely swallow. It was 26 euros. I pay that much for a good steak. Not this terrible meat. The fish (orata) was so dry it tasted like dry salmon. Actually I wish it tasted like dry salmon. It was worse than that. Terrible presentation as well. We ordered some bread. He asked us if it was good and we said yes. He brought back another one and charged us for the second when we never asked for it. He seemed like a scammer. Mind you we speak Italian so he understood us perfectly. Don’t even get me started on the dessert. It was frozen. I told him it was frozen and he was like ok. He convinced us to get the dessert and it was terrible. 8 euros each dessert? Most expensive I’ve had there. Also the servers grab the cups of water by the mouth with his fingers honestly gross. Just don’t even bother. Go anywhere else. 5 euros for tap water? Not even an acqua Pana or from a bottle. WHO CHARGES 5 euros FOR filtered TAP WATER???? Charged us for water with gas when we never even asked for it…. Picture is the tiramisu that was FROZEN. 70 euros per person is crazy for nasty food. 250 euros with no wine???? Crazy…

Food poor quality and overpriced, not fresh fish at all, service good. Wne overpriced. Pizza was good

We had an excellent seafood meal on the beach. Our waitress Gracia was very attentive and helpful with our selection. My wife had the salty crust sea bass that was very good. I had the king prawns over new potatoes.

This place was AMAZING! Location can’t be better and the selection of fresh-from-the-day fish is excellent. We tried the appetizers, salads and a couple of the Chef recommended fish and EVERYTHING was delicious. Chef Alessio was there and with his ‘joie de vivre’ and passion, he created a wonderful experience for our group of friends that whole afternoon. Chef Alessio also made wonderful recommendations on wineries to visit in Tuscany, which we did the following day, and it was excellent as well - Az. Salustri - Agriturismo Il Mandorlo, Località La Cava Cinigiano, 58044 Cinigiano GR, Italy

Great place! Fresh and yummy food! The best staff! I come back here almost every year now for the last 25 years :)
