“Il giardino del nespolo” is a comfortable apartment located in the city of Follonica, in the heart of Maremma Toscana. It's the ideal place for a pleasant and relaxing holiday, and is positioned strategically: even on foot, it is minutes away from the city centre, the beaches, the tennis courts, the public park, shops, restaurants and the train station. Follonica developed around the foundry developed by Leopold II in 1834 to bolster the economy of Tuscany. These were Europe's second most important iron-works, and have become a major, all-season tourist attraction.
