One-day trips departing from Terre di Sacra

Terre di Sacra, Capalbio 04 September 2019 Family holiday in the country

There are countless day trips to enjoy from Terre di Sacra. Within a 70-kilometre radius, you can discover fascinating historic towns, islands surrounded by crystal-clear waters, and picturesque marinas renowned for their beauty.

Capalbio is the perfect base for exploring southern Tuscany. From here, you can enjoy day trips from Terre di Sacra without travelling too far or tiring yourself out. Below are our suggestions for spending a day discovering this beautiful part of central Italy and making the most of your holiday at Terre di Sacra.

Day Trip to Giglio Island and Porto Santo Stefano

Located at the southernmost edge of the Tuscan Archipelago, Giglio Island is loved for its rustic charm and sense of seclusion.

Ferries from the mainland arrive at Giglio Porto, while the fortified village of Giglio Castello sits at the highest point of the island. On the western side, Giglio Campese is the most modern of the island’s villages. A dozen hiking trails wind through the hills, while numerous coves and small beaches dot the coastline, many of which can only be reached by boat or on foot.

A day trip by ferry or private boat to Giglio Island offers a refreshing break from the crowds of Tuscany’s famous Renaissance towns and cities, with plenty of opportunities for swimming, hiking and exploring the island at your own pace.

On your way back from a day trip to Giglio Island, a stop in Porto Santo Stefano is an absolute must. Once a modest fishing village, it has developed into an elegant and exclusive harbour town. Small and full of charm, it is a favourite destination for those seeking a glamorous getaway among Italian celebrities and politicians escaping the bustle of Rome.

Day Trip to Lake Bolsena

Lake Bolsena is the largest volcanic lake in Europe, and a guided excursion is the perfect way to discover some of its most fascinating and picturesque landscapes. We recommend booking a guided trip aboard one of the traditional local fishing boats or taking a scenic tour around the islands of Bisentina and Martana.

These excursions offer the opportunity to learn more about the lake’s natural, historical and archaeological heritage, as well as the towns and villages along its shores. Customised day trips can also be arranged, with family-friendly options including lunch and a sunset aperitif overlooking the lake.

Tarquinia, the City of the Etruscans

For all Terre di Sacra guests looking for a break from the sea and the beach, we recommend a visit to Tarquinia and its remarkable Etruscan necropolis. It is a perfect day trip, even when the weather is uncertain, and a great option for families with children.

Tarquinia is a classic Italian hilltop town, with sandstone walls and picturesque streets climbing steeply towards the top of the hill. Located around 40 kilometres south of Terre di Sacra, the town is famous for its beautifully preserved Etruscan necropolis, situated just beyond the city walls.

Here you will find numerous Etruscan tombs that still preserve their original paintings. They are an absolute must for anyone with an interest in ancient history, archaeology and Etruscan civilisation.
