About Resort Naturista Grottamiranda
Resort Naturista Grottamiranda is a purely naturist holiday resort in the countryside of Serranova, in the Contrada Grottamiranda near Carovigno, in the Apulia region of southern Italy. The resort is set among ancient olive trees, about three kilometres from a nature reserve and seven kilometres from a naturist beach, and it is away from mass tourism. It has a small number of apartments, usually described as studios with their own terrace, ranging from about 15 to 35 square metres. The grounds include a pool with hot and cold baths and a garden terrace. The resort says guests live nude, and its wellness offer includes a sauna set in a natural grotto. It is open from May to October. Belgian federation listings give members a 5% discount on stays.
Legal context & local rules
Nudity is lawful on private naturist premises in Italy; the resort is run as a naturist holiday site.
Article 527 of the Italian Penal Code (Codice Penale) prohibits "atti osceni" (indecent acts) in public locations, though simple nudity without provocative behaviour is not explicitly criminalised. The Italian Constitutional Court's 2022 Decision No. 95 reformed penalties to emphasize administrative fines over criminal prosecution, moderately increasing legal tolerance.

Acquarena Bressanone – Sauna area
Public pool and wellness complex in the centre of Brixen with a sauna area of about 1,200 m².

The operator states that the sauna cabins and water areas of the sauna zone are used without swimwear, in line with the South Tyrolean custom.
Acquarilli
Acquarilli is a small, wild cove on the southern coast of Elba, in the municipality of Capoliveri, tucked into a horseshoe-shaped bay below the coast road that runs west from Capoliveri towards Lacona. It sits under steep slopes and is one of the island's better-known naturist spots; Elba has long been described as the home of naturism in Tuscany. The shoreline is a mix of dark gravel and pebbles with rocky outcrops, and patches of sand mainly towards one end. Rocks in the middle of the beach split it into two parts, and the nude section is on one side of those rocks, with clothed bathers using the other, so visitors should check which side they are on. The water is exceptionally clear, which makes it popular for snorkelling. There are no services on the beach and little natural shade, so you need to bring water, food and an umbrella. Because the descent puts many people off, it stays relatively quiet, though non-naturists do come down in peak season.
Ad Naturam – Spazio Naturista 3VeNat
Day-use naturist garden run by the 3VeNat association in the countryside between Venice, Padua and Treviso, set inside a lavender plantation. It has a large lawn, a swimming pool, toilets, shade and covered areas, and is aimed both at experienced naturists and at people trying social nudity for the first time. Self-sufficient motorhome parking and tent camping are possible on request. Lavender products and local honey are sold on site.
Agriturismo Re Piano
Agriturismo on 7 hectares of Romagna hillside run by an Italian-Dutch couple, with three apartments and a double room, all with separate entrances. Facilities include a pool, a spa with sauna and whirlpool, a wood-fired oven, barbecues and horse riding. The whole property can be used nude outside the peak months of June to September. Spa access without an overnight stay is possible by booking.
