Paradise Agricamp

Look after your personal well-being with a free soak in the thermal springs at Petriolo (half an hour’s drive) on the Farma River, well-known for their therapeutic properties. Make a day of it with a visit to the monumental remains of 13th-century San Galgano Abbey (45 minutes) close by, or head for the gorgeous small town of Monticiano (40 minutes) for a wander round its ancient cobbled lanes. Castiglione della Pescaia (45 minutes) is another pretty settlement with medieval houses tumbling down a steep hill to the Tyrrhenian Sea, plus a sandy beach that’s safe for swimming and has a couple of beach clubs in the summer months. If you’re feeling like a challenge, clamber up winding trails to the peak of dormant volcano Monte Amiata (an hour); you’ll be rewarded with magnificent views over the lush forests of the Val d’Orcia in southern Tuscany. For gentler strolls, turn to coastal paths in the Parco Regionale della Maremma (also an hour), equally popular for cycling, kayaking, horse riding and fishing.
