PODERE S.ANGELO
Roccalbegna, Toscana
Country home - Holiday cottages

The countryside
Podere Sant'Angelo is located in an area of outstanding natural beauty (as recognised by the regional government). Local farmers have practised organic growing methods for the last ten years. The abundance of wildlife, butterflies and birds is a testament to the success of this policy.

Saturnia
The hot sulfurous waters of Saturnia have been famous since Etruscan times. There are two ways of taking the waters: the 'Terme' hotel which offers several pools, refreshment facilities and an extensive range of spa treatments or the open air, free entry waterfall down from the village. The springs are a 20 minute drive from the cottages.

The coast
The southern Tuscan coastline offers some of the most pristine bathing in Italy. Castiglione della Pescaia has consistently been awarded the top 'clean beach' award by the EU. If you tire of the 'ombrellone' of Castiglione and Marina di Grosseto head for the beach in the 'Parco Regionale Della Maremma' for kilometre after kilometre of golden sand without an 'ombrellone' in sight and few people even in August (under an hour's drive away).
