EXPERIENCERolling green hills, beautiful medieval villages, tantalizing cuisine - sun-drenched Tuscany thrills the senses. You're feeling doubly invigorated as you contemplate the scenery from a marble hydro-massage "armchair" in Fonteverde Natural Spa Resort's thermal Bioaquam Pool. Revered since Etruscan times, the mineral-rich hot springs are said to have anti-aging powers.
Italian history comes alive at Fonteverde Natural Spa Resort, which Grand Duke Ferdinando I de' Medici built in the 1600s. The restored boutique property contains 66 rooms and 14 suites. Two of the latter have terraces, and details like fine draperies and elaborate coffered ceilings recall the Tuscan villas of old.
That said, the spa has every modern amenity, from Pilates classes to a medical staff. Take lunch by the spa pool, but save your appetite for dinner at Ferdinando I. Like the sunset view of the surrounding valley, chef Emanuele Venditti's traditional Tuscan cooking calls for a vintage Brunello.
