Sleeping under the stars at the San Francesco Country Resort in In Vada, in the heart of the Etruscan Coast in Tuscany.
Dreaming on the Etruscan Coast
World Dream Day was on 25 September, an occasion dedicated to the hopes and aspirations that, sooner or later, can become reality. In Tuscany, one such dream can take a very simple form: sleeping surrounded by nature, waking up under the olive trees and spending a few days exploring one of the most authentic areas of the Tuscan coast.
In Vada, in the heart of the Etruscan Coast, the San Francesco Country Resort is a place where a stay is not merely a break, but a way to connect with the landscape and the rhythms of the Tuscan countryside. The resort, on three hectares of natural countryside with olive groves, vineyards and fruit trees, is particularly appealing for anyone arriving who wants to combine the seaside, culture and the countryside in a single holiday. Here in Tuscany you feel a world away from the hustle and bustle of the major art cities yet you are by no means far from its best-known attractions.
One of the most distinctive features of the San Francesco Country Resort is the Bubble Suite, with air conditioning and a private jacuzzi where guests can spend the night gazing at the sky and the landscape, an experience that fulfils a simple and universal desire: to fall asleep under the stars, surrounded by nature, without sacrificing comfort.
Not far from Bolgheri and Castagneto Carducci
Just a few kilometres the sea, with the beaches and pine forests this resort is ideal for alternating days of relaxation by the Mediterranean with excursions into the hinterland, where the landscape changes rapidly, giving way to hills, vineyards and small villages. Among the best-known nearby destinations is Bolgheri, famous for its picturesque cypress-lined road and its internationally recognized winemaking tradition. Not far away, Castagneto Carducci retains the charm of a historic village overlooking the countryside and the sea.
Apartments, suites and a heated pool
The resort's apartments and suites are scattered throughout the estate and have a contemporary design with natural materials and nods to local traditions. Some have private outdoor spaces, whilst facilities include a heated swimming pool, a pool bar and a breakfast that showcases local produce. It is a place where the landscape becomes an integral part of the guest experience: in the olive trees surrounding the accommodation, in the scents of the countryside, in the colours of the sunset and in the night sky, which becomes the ceiling of the Bubble Suite.
