We’ll depart from Florence and, in about an hour, make our first stop in Monteriggioni, one of Italy’s best-preserved medieval villages. After that, in roughly 1 hour and 45 minutes, we’ll arrive at Saturnia’s Cascate del Mulino, one of the most enchanting natural wonders in Italy.
Here, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into a magical world—steaming thermal waters flow into tiered turquoise pools and natural waterfalls. These waters are not only stunning but also famous for their therapeutic properties, offering the perfect mix of relaxation and well-being.
After around two hours of free time to bathe, relax, and soak in the magic, we’ll continue with a local wine tasting accompanied by a light Tuscan lunch. This is your chance to savor authentic southern Tuscany flavors, made from local traditions and seasonal ingredients.
In the afternoon, we’ll stop for about an hour in Pitigliano, one of Tuscany’s most authentic treasures. Built entirely on golden tufa rock, it’s a maze of narrow alleys, stone houses, and breathtaking viewpoints. Walking through Pitigliano feels like stepping back in time, with centuries of history around every corner.
We’ll return to Florence, taking with us not just memories, but the warmth of the waters, the taste of Tuscany, and the amazing landscapes along the way.
