News Welcome to the Newsletter from Merrion Charles Private Travel Consultancy, providing the most recent and exciting information regarding hotels, villas and much more. Merrion provides a bespoke and professional service for holidays in Italy and further afield. Nothing is too much trouble. As Summer came to an end, Merrion took advantage of the glorious September sunshine and ventured to Southern Tuscany for a few days investigative work. Meanwhile, MoJo held the fort and responded to enquiries for 2009 and even gave a pasta lesson to clients at Casa Glyn! |

Punta Ala was Merrion's first port of call at Hotel Cala del Porto overlooking the Mare Tirreno and the Island of Elba beyond. A Relais Chateaux property, Cala del Porto is situated above Punta Ala harbour with its fabulous array of smart yachts, and is close to the umbrella-pine clad sandy beaches of the peninsula. With excellent service and a relaxed atmosphere, Hotel Cala del Porto is ideal as part of a tailor-made tour or in conjunction with a villa rental in central Tuscany. |
Highly recommended as a short break and a perfect antidote to stress! |
From Cala del Porto Merrion travelled via the enchanting cities of Castiglione di Pescaia and Scansano (famous for its Morellino di Scansano red wine) to Merrion's next port of call - Terme di Saturnia. Famous worldwide for its beneficial thermal waters and treatments, Saturnia is set amidst pristine Tuscan scenery and the Terme di Saturnia Spa & Golf Resort is the ultimate destination for complete and utter relaxation. Here, guests can immerse themselves in the 37.5 degree hot-spring water just as the Etruscans and Romans did thousands of years ago and enjoy its therapeutic and healing qualities. Terme di Saturnia is tranquil, luxurious and a haven of relaxation. In addition to the huge natural swimming pool, there are hot and cold Jacuzzis and water cascades and, of course, numerous Spa treatments using the exclusive products made from the natural properties of the spring waters. |
