Park Albatros San Vincenzo Site no: IN022

At a Glance

Customer Rating

Attention to detail is everything at this large, lovingly tended parc on the Etruscan coastline, 60 miles south of Pisa.

Situated in an untouched natural habitat under the shade of a large pine forest in one of the most beautiful areas of Tuscan Maremma, the region’s mild climate makes the parc an ideal holiday destination throughout the season. The parc’s cosy, wood-cabin restaurant is especially enchanting or there is a pizzeria to try too.

Spread throughout the parc, in-between the ancient pine plantations, you’ll find a great swimming pool complex inclusive of a new olympic sized pool and sports facilities to keep you entertained, whilst at night teenagers can enjoy the disco. The parc is also an ideal base for exploring the Tuscan countryside, visiting the Island of Elba, nearby cities of Pisa or Florence or maybe just a relaxing day on the beach - just 800m away.

Take a look at some of the local recommendations for days out and activities our customers have shared with us following their holiday at Park Albatros.

"Must-sees are Florence, Siena and San Gimignano."
P. Bentley, Kent

"Our favourite places were the medieval hilltop villages - amazing! We also enjoyed the Piazza del Campo and Siena - definite must-see sites."
J. Macdonald, Hampshire

"An all-day trip to Rome was easily done using the local train, the station about 10 minutes' drive from the site, and the train journey is comfortable and takes about 3 hours. Florence is a reasonable 2-3 hours drive. Lucca is a must - would recommend hiring a bike and cycling around the walls, and Volterra is definitely worth a trip, a beautiful hill town. San Gimignano, too, should be visited - the kids loved the torture museum!"
