Residence Club Cantiere Navale Donoratico ★★★ - Marina di Donoratico - Tuscany

THE BUILDING
Founded in 1946 by the Earl Gaddo della Gherardesca on its grounds in front the sea, the Cantiere Navale Donoratico, after almost twenty years from its cutback, still remembered for its successes in rowing, field in which was specialized, but also for sports craft realizations. A careful and minute reorganization project turned it today into a modern three sup. stars resort on an area of 25 hectares characterized by high trunk maritime pines and rich in vegetation, along a coast, unique for position, nature, beach and sea. In place of the old yards today new buildings were realized. They include the central building called "La Vela" whose its semicircular form cover reminds to the old roof, typical of sheds of that period, as well as other 8 building where 176 units are located, divided into accommodations of several size, rooms and suite. The resort has been built in the maximum respect for nature, between sand dunes and high trunk maritime pines typical of the Mediterranean vegetation. The beach is wide with fine sand while the very nice sea, in that expanse, is characterized by a depth that gets down slowly and gradually. An oasis in other words ... suitable also for the most demanding customers, the resort, considered its location, offers relaxing and funny holidays, besides the immediate closeness to many tourist resort of Tuscany which makes this area one of the most requested, for culture, art, gastronomy, landscape and sport.
