Gallia Palace Hotel

More than 30 years ago, Gallia Palace Hotel in Punta Ala was the first Italian resort to be courted by Relais & Chateaux to become part of its portfolio of international luxury properties. Today the Tuscan retreat, with its swinging-60s vibe, continues to amaze its guests with spellbinding vistas, envious seaside location and sublime amenities. Situated on its own private beach, this two-story hideaway houses just 81 rooms boasting traditional Tuscan style. Jutting balconies allow guests to marvel at the ocean or park, both within short reach. The hotel offers a sumptuous dining experience, from regional fare to buffet-style, beachfront dining. Weekends are usually filled with dancing and live music. Guests tend to congregate at the piano bar on most evenings, where the mixologist shakes things up with his signature concoctions.
