Oasyhotel Tuscany
This new eco-hotel is located just 40 miles north of Florence, but feels like part of a different world, says Lydia Bell in Condé Nast Traveller. Its 16 guest lodges sit in a 1,000-hectare, WWF-affiliated nature reserve set in forests of chestnut, beech and fir, more than 1,000 metres above sea level in the Apennine Mountains. Interiors are minimalist but “handsome”, with large verandahs and “picturebook” windows, and there are two restaurants (one of them al fresco), where the ingredients come largely from a sustainable farm on the reserve. Activities include wolf tracking, foraging, hiking, biking, swimming, kayaking and yoga, and there is also a sauna by the lake. Lodges from £470, b&b; oasyhotel.com.…
