Tuscany is renowned for its rolling hills, charming villages, and iconic landscapes, but many hidden gems await those who venture off the beaten path. Among the sprawling wine estates and olive groves, we recommend the following natural highlights:
Cascate del Mulino: This stunning free thermal spring in the Saturnia area is an oasis of relaxation, offering natural hot pools surrounded by lush greenery.
Mount Amiata: As a hidden highland area, this dormant volcano offers captivating hiking trails, breathtaking vistas, and unique flora not often seen elsewhere in Tuscany.

After soaking in the thermal springs or conquering Mount Amiata, retreat to Casa Oscar’s panoramic balcony and indulge in a glass of local wine while enjoying dazzling sunset views.
While Florence and Siena are on most travelers’ lists, Tuscany is teeming with forgotten villages rich in history and local culture. Here are three must-visit hidden towns to enhance your Tuscan adventure:
San Quirico d’Orcia: Famous for its stunning scenery and well-preserved medieval walls, this charming village is a perfect stop for authentic Tuscan cuisine and picturesque views.
