Tuscan spa hotel, in Castagneto Carducci on Tuscany coast

Tombolo Talasso Resort, Castagneto Carducci

The Tombolo Talasso Resort is a superb spa and thalassotherapy (seawater therapy) centre on Italy's Mediterranean/Tyrrhenian coast. Set in Castagneto Carducci on the coast of Tuscany, close to Bolgheri and Pisa airport, this five-star resort hotel has an idyllic location - perfect for the feelgood therapies that are going to give you a rejuvenating vacation to remember.

The blue sea is crystal clear here, and the enchanting surroundings complement the waters perfectly: verdant hills, neatly serried olive groves and vineyards ... a typically Tuscan country vista in fact. The Tombolo Talasso Resort aims to expertly blend past and present, the traditions of old Tuscany with the latest therapies and comforts. You will bathe in warm, seawater pools, with a range of seawater therapies - the water is brought 900 metres from the coast and is used in hydromassages using algae and salts, underwater hydromassages, jet showers, horizontal sea rain showers and many more. Enjoy Shiatzu and Thai massages, Aromatherapy and Scen Tao; feel the calming and revitalising effect of the essential oils, designed to improve circulation and tone the skin.

There is a gym too, and afterwards you can relax in the naturally lighted Finnish Sauna, the purifying steam and trickling waters of the mosaic Roman bath ... finally reviving with a fresh fruit juice in the relaxation zone. There is an outdoor swimming pool (with a snack bar alongside) plus a children's pool, shaded by pines, junipers and cedars.

Then relax in your bedroom, with air conditioning, direct phone, beautifully tiled bathroom with bath and/or shower and WC, colour TV, cable and internet services. The hotel has a lounge bar and restaurant and the front desk is open around the clock.
