Top Tuscan Restaurants with Swimming Pools
Here are nine great restaurants where you can also take a refreshing dip in a swimming pool.
Il Merlo, Versilia
The Ariston beach club in Lucca’s Lido di Camaiore stands out as the largest beach club in Versilia and one of the oldest. It was also a preferred retreat of Italian poet Gabriele d’Annunzio. Here, comfort is at your fingertips, complemented by a seawater pool and excellent culinary offerings led by chef Angelo Torcigliani. “We offer an array of dishes,” he states, “but the true king is the fish from the Tyrrhenian sea, whether oven-baked, pan-fried, or served ‘all’acqua pazza’.” We recommend trying the spaghetti with fish fillets and the risotto au gratin with prawns and curry.
