The seventh is an intimate pool for balneotherapy where colors and aromas are used to create a soothing sound, known as ‘liquid sound’.

Horseback Riding
Horseback riding is a great way to explore the scenic Tuscan countryside. Touring from higher up on a horse’s back provides you with a much better view of the beauty surrounding you and you can travel to areas that are more difficult to reach by car. Just relax and take your time, soaking in the serenity of Tuscany.
