For hundreds of years, The Medicis were one of the most powerful families in Europe. If anyone knew the most beautiful spot in Italy it was them. Their summer houses were legendary. Now you can stay in one of their great buildings located in the Val d'Orcia which is a region of Tuscany. Val d'Orcia is now a world heritage site because the area was completely landscaped in the 15th and 16th centuries with the aim of creating the most ideal and aesthetically pleasing landscape. The house has been restored to former glory with beautiful pools and gardens blending into the rich landscape. The spa uses waters from a thermal spring and you will be fed a special diet to complement your oriental treatments designed to infuse you with manna. There are olive oil massages and hydrotherapy pools with views of the surrounding area. The food is classic Tuscan fare that is famous around the world and the interior is classic European style; very elegant with influences taken from the renaissance. The bar has an extensive cellar and wine-tasting is available.
