You can take advantage of the treatments at the daily spa, for a weekend or on a weekly basis.
THE BEACH AND THE SEA. Caressed by the limpid waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea, this is an authentic paradise for scuba divers thanks to its glorious underwater panorama full of spectacular chromatisms and multi-coloured species of fish. The Altafiumara private beach is for guests use only and lies in a small cove protected by the jutting cliffs on either side, that looks like a natural pool, bathed by the warm Mediterranean sun.
