Tuscany attracts numerous visitors every year. In addition to a delicious regional cuisine and a variety of cultural treasures, it captivates with beautiful landscapes, from which already famous poets and thinkers have been inspired. There are many good reasons, why you should spend your next vacation in Tuscany. Here are three:
The popular Tuscan cuisine has its origins in the peasant tradition. On the table are almost exclusively seasonal, fresh ingredients from the region. In the coastal areas there is a lot of fish, but even more typical of the region are meat dishes, especially wild boar in all variations. Be sure to try grilled bisteccas of Chianina beef, also the cacciucco, a delicious fish stew, will make your mouth water. Of course, crispy pizza must not be missing. Constant companions in the Tuscan restaurants between Pisa, Siena and Florence are olive oil and wine, which are grown here with great dedication.
The landscapes in Tuscany are unique, wild and pristine. Not for nothing is the region often referred to as the sunny garden of Italy: With its olive trees, cypresses and orchards winding along rolling, sweeping landscapes, and historic villages and towns, the region feels a bit like it was painted. Tuscany has to offer some of the most beautiful beaches Italy, where vacationers of many nations flock in the summer. A highlight are of course also the numerous natural thermal springs, which promise relaxing bathing moments in the midst of nature throughout the year.
In the Renaissance, Tuscany was one of the spiritual centers of Europe. The artists were not only painters, sculptors, writers, architects or scholars - often they were all in one. Even Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Galileo Galilei lived here and were inspired by the beauty of the region. Even today, Tuscany is home to numerous valuable paintings, sculptures and masterpieces of architecture.

FAQ - All about thermal holidays in Tuscany
Tuscany is popular with vacationers not least because of its Mediterranean climate: hot summers, mild winters. The best time for your thermal baths vacation in Tuscany is therefore between May and October. Peak activity prevails in many thermal resorts in the fall, because many want to strengthen their defenses for the winter during a bath in the hot springs.
Since the region is located in the heart of Italy, you have to be prepared for a longer journey. We therefore recommend that you book your hotel with thermal baths for at least a week, preferably two weeks. This will give you enough time to recover from the rigors of the trip and recharge your batteries. It is also worthwhile to visit not just one, but several thermal baths in the area during your vacation.
To take advantage of all the wellness offers, you should definitely think of bathing suits and towels. Even though many of our spa hotels provide bathrobes and towels, this is not the case everywhere. For bathing in the natural springs of Tuscany, you should not necessarily pack your latest bikini or swimsuit, because the smell of the sulfurous springs is relatively strong, so sometimes it does not go out even after repeated washing. To explore the gorgeous landscapes of Tuscany on foot, also pack comfortable clothes, sturdy shoes, a backpack, mosquito repellent and sunscreen with a higher sun protection factor.
Yes. Although there are age restrictions for certain treatments and wellness areas, many thermal baths offer their young visitors varied pools in which children can frolic. A good example of this is the Terme di Sorano. Even outside the thermal baths, Tuscany has plenty of variety in store for families: Visit, for example, the coastal section Versilia, - at this Bagni attract dreamlike sandy beaches - lick an ice cream in front of the leaning tower of Pisa or go with the horse-drawn carriage through the narrow lanes of Florence.
In many regions of Tuscany is committed to people with reduced mobility. Meanwhile, many sights and cultural assets can be visited even with a wheelchair. Both the Etruscan Riviera and the Maremma coast have numerous sandy beaches and beach resorts that are easily accessible with a wheelchair. You can recognize them by a blue sign with the inscription "Senza Barriere" or "Accesso per Disabili", on which a wheelchair is depicted.
