The Seaside in the Tuscan Maremma
The coasts of Tuscany are varied and full of long beaches of fine sand or
rocks with differing shapes and tones. The sea of the Maremma is undoubtedly the cleanest along the Tuscany coast, owing to a predominance of natural reserves and the slow development of tourism. Even from inland areas, on day trips, some of the more stunning beaches can be reached: Baratti, Rimigliano, Marina di Castagneto, Torre Mozza. The beaches, surrounded by Mediterranean scrub, are often reached through short paths through the ancient pinewoods, and it is not uncommon to find, besides crystal clear waters, isolation and quiet even in the summer months.
Some areas of coast do however feature fully equipped bathing establishments.
The Bolsena Lake
The limpid Bolsena Lake, on the borders of Tuscany and
Umbria, is not only the ideal destination for walks and
visits but it is also a popular bathing destination. Traditional
lake boats are available for rent.
Le Terme di Saturnia
Well known since Etruscans times, recognized
by the ancients as a source of therapeutic and miraculous
virtues.
Besides the elegant buildings of the Terme di Saturnia,
are the renowned "cascatelle", a natural waterfall outside
the village, where bathing takes place even in winter
owing to the constant water temperature of 37°C.
The sulphurous waters are therapeutic for the skin, the respiratory organs, muscles and bones.
