An important date that marked the laying of the cornerstone of the international Resort Riva del Sole and which represented the tourism and economic “turning point” for Castiglione della Pescaia and the province of Grosseto.

These were the years of the economic boom and there was a desire for rebirth in the air. That coastline of the Tuscan Maremma was virtually deserted and magnificent with its long golden sand beaches, the dunes covered by Mediterranean vegetation and beautiful pinewoods. This was the ideal place to host a big resort.

The idea came from the north, Riva del Sole was desired and built by the Swedish workers recreational organization, RESO a travel agency, hotels and tours chain established in 1937, to offer a holiday accommodation for their employees.

Over the years the resort, which is still today a Swedish property, grew both in the structure and in the quality of the services offered. Today it is an oasis of absolute beauty, known and appreciated internationally under the name of Riva del Sole Resort & SPA.
