Oasyhotel & Oasi Dynamo Nature Reserve
What makes Oasyhotel different from other luxury hotels in Tuscany?
Oasyhotel is not a conventional countryside hotel. It is a 17-lodge forest retreat set inside Oasi Dynamo Nature Reserve, a 1,000-hectare protected natural area in the Tuscan Apennines. The experience combines the comfort of a five-star hotel with silence, nature, wildlife, farm-to-table dining, wellbeing and guided outdoor experiences.
What is Oasi Dynamo Nature Reserve?
Oasi Dynamo Nature Reserve is a 1,000-hectare protected natural reserve in Tuscany, near San Marcello Piteglio, in the province of Pistoia. Oasyhotel is located inside the reserve, giving guests direct access to forests, trails, wildlife, a lake and nature-based experiences.
What does “Kind Luxury” mean at Oasyhotel?
