San Vincenzo is surrounded by a variety of small beautiful medieval towns and they are all worth a visit. Let’s start going south of San Vincenzo, direction Piombino. If you take Via della Principessa you will cross PARCO DI RIMIGLIANO, made of several hundred hectares of Mediterranean oak woods running along the coast line and the long free beaches. You can park the car next to the street. From June to September, it is possible to buy a parking card at our reception. Walking down one of the several tracks that lead to the sea you can reach the beach in a few minutes. The park is equipped with picnic areas, so that even during the hot hours you can enjoy the cool air under the huge trees. It is also equipped with public bathrooms and showers. Bars and restaurants are at entrances n.4, 8 and 10. Traveling a few miles further south along Via Della Principessa, you will reach the Baratti/ Populonia junction. BARATTI is a scenic circular gulf and POPULONIA is a small and charming medieval village. Situated on top of the hill it features a unique view onto the sea and the islands. In the ARCHAEOLOGICAL PARK of Populonia and Baratti you can visit the Etruscan ruins. In this park you pay an entrance fee and then you can choose to follow a free guided tour or visit by yourself. In case you buy the ticket for the whole park, you can benefit from a discount reserved to our guests. We also suggest to keep this full park ticket since, if you decide to visit also Parco di San Silvestro in Campiglia Marittima (and vice-versa) you'll get a 50% discount on the second park. (Please check opening days and times at reception or in the web-site indicated in the next pages) Moving down the coast you reach the PARCO DELLA STERPAIA, located between Piombino and Follonica. Like the Rimigliano Park, this is a public park with free beaches. Crystalline clear water with white sand. Leaving the coast behind, halfway between San Vincenzo and Campiglia we reach the open-air mining museum, PARCO MINERARIO DI SAN SILVESTRO. Here, too, you pay a ticket. You can choose between three main excursions: one is mainly a naturalistic path, while on the next, you drive with a guide and one of the special park-bus up to the medieval castle San Silvestro. On the last route a guide escorts you into the antique mine. It was originally build by the Etruscans, later rediscovered and used again until the end of the last century. A highlight for children: the ride with the orange park-train which even enters the mine for a short stretch. Once in a while you can attend to nice events for small children. Open from 10am to 7pm, closed on Monday. Continuing on this street you encounter CAMPIGLIA MARITTIMA and SUVERETO, two pearls of medieval architecture. Strolling in the historic charged atmosphere it is easy to go back in time… Turning towards the countryside, in the south of San Vincenzo you should not miss BOLGHERI with Viale San Guido, the famous cypress - lined avenue and the town of Castagneto Carducci. At VENTURINA, the next town in the south of San Vincenzo resides the CALIDARIO, a natural lake, suited for children too, with warm water at circa 36°C ( 97°F). It is open every day from morning to evening, closed only from January 7th to February 7th In addition Calidario offers a two hour wellness path, only for adults, passing through the most different experiences: “Frigidarium” “Trepidarium” and “Calidarium” (similar to the Turkish bath). We have an agreement with Calidario, so remember to ask us for a discount coupon. For those who love to relax, you will find some beautiful wellness & SPA resorts: Wellness Center Riva degli Etruschi, Garden SPA Cavalleggeri, Tombolo Talasso Resort and La Cerreta Terme di Sassetta (hotsprings). In the next pages you will find more informations about them. Young and adults will have lots of fun in the CAVALLINO MATTO in CASTAGNETO CARDUCCI, north of San Vincenzo. In this large amusement park you can spent a whole day. You can take discount tickets at our reception. A more offbeat way to enjoy your leisure time is the GIARDINO SOSPESO in RIPARBELLA, the “Hanging Garden” park: breathtaking acrobatic courses through the treetops - different kind of courses where adults and children can move along in complete safety. Here you can try the “Instinctive Archery”, too. Ask us to “stamp” a brochure and you will get there a €.2 discount/person. For those who love horses, there are handlings in the area, you'll find names and phone numbers in the next pages. Another very appreciated place is PARCO GALLOROSE, it's a 3kms zoo-park in CECINA with 120 different species. It is settled in our Mediterranean bush and there are very nice trails that you can walk also with a stroller. Inside the park there is a typical tuscan restaurant, a picnic area and a playground for kids. The negative aspect is that, like in the other zoos, there are species that should be able to live in the native lands and not here, but this is our personal opinion. If you wish to have a walk downtown in SAN VINCENZO, we suggest to park in Via Aurelia Nord, above Via della Stazione. In fact, the parking there is free and through a pedestrian “passage” over the railways, you will arrive straight in the town center. Alternatively, there are plenty of paid parking in the center. The largest one is located below the “Marina di San Vincenzo”. White stripes: free parking. Blu stripes: paid parking. Yellow stripes: parking is prohibited.

PUBLIC BEACHES You will find them all along the coast, even in the center of San Vincenzo. The one that we recommend the most is PARCO DI RIMIGLIANO, located in Via della Principessa. It is a huge park by the sea, equipped with picnic areas among the trees, public showers and public baths. Lifeguard service in summer period. There is one bar called “Lago Verde” and it is located at entrance number four. There are 2 restaurants at entrances n.8 and n.10. The park is very long and it has various entrances, all numbered and clearly visible from the street. You will find free and paid parking along the road. To park in the Rimigliano Park it is possible to request a parking pass at the reception (we have a limited number). The weekly cost of the parking pass is €.10. Without the pass, the max cost of parking for the whole day is about €.8.
