Days two to four In San Giuliano Terme

A short drive away there are the coastal resorts of Viareggio and Forte dei Marmi , with their long sandy beaches flanked by umbrella pines . Pisa itself is worth a visit or venture further afield into Tuscany , perhaps to Montecatini Terme or the mediaeval town of San Miniato , situated atop three hills . Your hotel is renowned as a spa hotel with hot springs and and outdoor thermal pool , so you should allow time to try the spa treatments . Then , on the evening you have chosen , or perhaps more than one , you attend the opera at Torre del Lago .
