The Fonteverde Hotel & Spa

Occupying a former Medici residence in the rolling Tuscan hills just south of Siena, the property is surrounded by the beautiful Val d’Orcia natural park.

The superbly equipped spa offers a range of exclusive individual treatments or complete health and beauty programmes, overseen by a specialist medical team. The spa’s swimming pool is constantly fed with natural spring water at 42°C, and there is a waterfall for natural hydro-massage.

The hotel's rooms are classically furnished, with bathrooms designed as miniature spas. The Ferdinando I restaurant serves the traditional cuisine of this corner of Tuscany, and the expert chefs can put together low-calorie meals. Other facilities include a bar, private gardens and a gym.
