  • It’s our first day out in Tuscany, and we’re already in love! 😍 We visited the beautiful Saturnia Thermal Baths, ate our first Italian pasta dishes in Pitigliano and had the best gelato by the coast. Between the views and food, it ended up being a pretty perfect day 💗

    I'm really glad you learned that the G in Pitigliano is silent. There are a LOT of silent Gs in Italian names. The blue thermal baths were really something special to see. I didn't know there was one of those in Tuscany, but I have seen photos and video of the ones just like these in China, somewhere in the northern part of China, I believe. I saw it (originally) on Martin Yan's Chinese travel series of shows that was on five or ten years ago.

    I recommend the Thermal Bath town of Montecatini for a 'home base' when visiting Tuscany. It has a thriving and modern center square with restaurants and lots more. Also has a church in the square and is a block or so from the train station. Use the train to Lucca, Florence, and many other locations.

    Allison, your yellow gelato flavor is called Zuppa Inglese which is sort of like an English Trifle but is now a traditional Italian dessert (kinda like Yellow Tiramisú), which is amazingly popular in Northern and Central Italy. I simply know this by eating a lot of gelato in Malta and Italy (I travel there for food a couple of times a year.) Enjoy your adventure :)

      True, but in Italy pasta is usually one course of many. It’s not really a main dish. So there would be a starter before it (Prima), a meat course after the pasta, and then dessert.

      @@user-ef3vu8jy7c Not here in the states, I don't even think it'd be enough for a first course but then again lots of folks from different countries always question our dietary habits and say that our portions are out of control. We'd eat 3-400 grams of Spaghetti and Sauce pretty easily over here for takeout or at a restaurant and that might be underestimating it just a touch even though I guess a traditional proper serving would technically be about 150-200 grams I suppose.

Normally it's about 25 celcius, I had almost 30 celcius every day I was there and lot's of sun. I always go in the early fall, the weather is milder but still nice and warm.

    I have driven around the Monte Argentario Island that Porto Ercole is located on. I would recommend that if you do drive that it is an all terrain vehicle as the road around half of the island is fully mountainous and not tarmac-ed plus the road skirts the cliff edge so not for the faint hearted. I managed to do it in a Peugeot 5008 and that was a silly vehicle for the road surface.

    If you’re looking for some ideas on where to visit in Tuscany, go to Montepulciano. Also, years ago we took a wine tour with a local guy and loved it. We have gone back to Tuscany several times and have done several different tours, wine tastings, Tuscan lunch at an old castle, etc. anyway look him up at dariocastagno.com/meet-dario-wine-tours-in-tuscany/

      It‘s of course a matter of taste, but imho the Brunello made around Montalcino is the best Italian red. Most Tuscan reds (including Chianti) are made of the San Giovese grapes, best in Montalcino.

    I love your travelogues. BTW the Italian 'gl' always stumps us English-speakers: we want to pronounce the 'g' as a hard consonant, like our words 'English' or 'haggling'. But it is instead like the 'll" in words such as 'brilliant' and 'million'- so it's pronounced Pitilliano. Likewise, Alison's 'tagliatelle ( at 9.45) is pronounced 'Talliatelle' etc etc without exception!

    Like it! But... Monte Argentario (where Porto Ercole is) isn't an island. It's a peninsula! :D

    Tuscany is gorgeous, my best friend is from there. Great content y'all!!
    Okay.. So about those little red worms, do they "invade your body?" Like your mouth or ears or down below??? Serious question.
    Sorry if I offended anyone. Just wondering.

      I was concerned as well and did some online research. It says that the red worms in those springs are harmless but the spa empties all of its waste water, including bath water and toilet water, into the springs. I have always made it a rule not to swim or dive in freshwater because it can contain deadly parasites. A young girl recently died in my state after jumping into a river. The parasite traveled through her nasal passages to her brain and she died in a few days. Certain parasites target certain organs - brain, lungs, liver, kidneys. The doctors said that if she had just swallowed the river water, she'd be alive today because the enzymes in our stomach are strong enough to kill a lot of parasites. I only swim in the ocean - salt water. If you want to swim in rivers, it's best to wear nose plugs and even then parasites can still enter the body. Not worth the risk.

      @@elizabethw.454 it will make you think twice before you jump into a river or lake. I water skied in younger years on the Potomac River and on the nearby Mattawoman Creek, which was great for trick skiing because it was smooth as glass. It was also inhabited by many, many (poisonous) water snakes. That was way back in the 60s and we were so focused on the snakes that we never thought about parasites!!

      Those red worms are nothing more than lake flies in their larval stage - absolutely harmless under all aspects both in their adult and larval form while also being an important source of food for the local fauna. They're also an incredibly important bioindicator used to monitor climate changes and the presence of possible pollutants in the water (which would otherwise kill the larvae).
      The real problem of those hot springs are tourists, unfortunately - they crowd it year round and some of them regrettably don't respect the place at all, leaving it in a sorry state. The provincial government had to really step up efforts recently to try and keep the springs in their original state.
      So if you ever end up here in Tuscany I'd definitely recommend visiting them and Saturnia in general, but maybe skip the swim if the springs are already overcrowded. And I'm sure I don't need to say this, but please respect the place and don't litter 🙏

    planning a trip to Italy in Oct 2022, loving your videos and good intel... I have a specific question that I'm hoping you can help with. we arrive in Rome, plan is to take the coastal train to Cinque Terre and then rent a car out of Spezia to head to our Tuscany rental where we plan to use as base and visit places around it....then, we head to the italian alps for a few days then to Milan where we fly out back to the states. The trouble I'm having is the rental car ... I see in your videos that you rented a car... any intel you can share on that piece. Who did you rent from, what to look out for, how was the driving, did you find it difficult to navigate the small roads, any other pieces of info you can give me will be most helpful

    If I may give you Just two tips for next time you come here in Italy : 1) tray to take a cono- gelato ( ice-cream in a cone w/out spoon ) instead of a cup - gelato and start licking before melting , we Italians prefer the cono-gelato because at the end you eat the crusty cono along with the gelato. SO FAR I DON’T REMEMBER SEEING A TOURIST WITH A CONO- GELATO IN HAND 😂.
    2 ) please don’t go up with the fork to separate the spaghettis, simply take one or two spaghetti rolling the fork down the plate and if you take too much just repeat the operation , you’ll probably will come at the same conclusion of us Italian : SPAGHETTIS DON’T NEED TO BE CUT 😂
