Piombino is situated on a promontory jutting out into the sea. It was the capital of an ancient Italian state and is heir to classical and medieval, as well as Etruscan metalworking traditions.
It has an ancient historical center, derived from the time in which it was the Etruscans' port, in the surroundings of Populonia. In the Middle Ages, it was instead an important port of Pisa's Republic.
Its hinterland hosts a considerable industrial area. Its port is still heavily used, both for industry and for tourism, with ferry-boats to Portoferraio (Elba) and Olbia (Sardinia).
Hotel Ariston has comfortable adjacent apartments as well as 24 rooms with private bathrooms, located in Piombino. The Etruscan necropolis of Populonia is only 10 Km away from Hotel Ariston in Poimbino.READ MORE
