Fonteverde Natural Spa Resort - Tuscany We are very excited to offer our Gira! guests two very special packages conceived just for you: Gira! Terme Rejuvenation Package Gira! Ancient Mediterranean Package The Fonteverde Spa and Hotel is a five star resort that presently stands on the natural spring waters that the Grand Duke Ferdinando I de' Medici enjoyed centuries ago. He built the first spa on this spot and would be highly impressed at the elegance and taste with which the present owners have restored this very special place. Graced with a beautiful spring-fed pool, superb guest rooms, and gourmet cuisine, the hotel has maintained the same level of luxury and refinement that the notable Medici family demanded and appreciated. Dating back to the 17th-century, this Medici palazzo is steeped in history. A well preserved Roman acquaduct figures prominently on the grounds and the vistas are some of the most beautiful in the region. Stunning views overlook a dramatic Tuscan valley and take in the cypress and olive trees lining the hillsides. The sweet historic town of San Casciano dei Bagni is close by and majestic Mount Amiata stands proudly in the background.
It
is easy to imagine a member of the Medici family or of Europe's
aristocracy enjoying the 66 richly appointed rooms and 14 suites.
Decorated in superb Tuscan style with exclusive fabrics and marble
bathrooms, the rooms are sumptuous without being pretentious. Many
rooms have terraces and all have views of either the mountainside or
the countryside. Offering a unique blend of Renaissance elegance
and present-day comfort, Fonteverde Spa and resort expresses luxury
and relaxation.
The
Terme de' Medici Spa Center makes use of the area's renowned mineral
spring water. Its swimming pool is constantly fed by the Ferdinando
I dei Medici, named in honor of the founder of the first spa on the
site Fonteverde now occupies. Its waters are naturally 107 degrees
Fahrenheit and contain sulfate, calcium, magnesium, and fluoride.
The pool is equipped with a waterfall, a counter-current circuit,
underwater benches, and a swan neck sculpture from which a water jet
provides a hydromassage.
Fonteverde Hotel Resort and Spa is located in the ancient village of
San Casciano dei Bagni which has been known since Roman times for
its 42 natural mineral water springs. Today, the charming village
features shops and restaurants, as well as festivals that are held
throughout the year and weekly markets.
Florence Amerigo Vespucci is 90 miles away. |
