Notes on accommodation
The southwestern part of Tuscany is known as the Maremma. The region rolls from the steep slopes of Monte Amiata, an extinct volcano reaching the wooded heights of 1738 m., down to the Tyrrhenian Sea.The climate here is very mild; almond trees start blooming in February. Ancient Etruscan settlements and tombs dot the landscape and some of Tuscany’s most intriguing towns adorn the hilltops. The coast itself offers gentle beaches, natural areas, hills for hiking, fishing villages, resort towns.
The legend holds that an angry Saturn hurled a lightning bolt into the ground here, causing warm, sulphurous waters to gush forth from the crater of a volcano. Better documented are Etruscan tales of the spring, thus dating Saturnia's origins as far back as at least 2800 years ago. In modern times, a thermal spa harnesses the “miraculous properties” of the water before it all flows nearly a mile away into a waterfall in the open countryside. Spa entrance tickets are obtainable through our own.
