  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 on-site Restaurant Ferdinando I serves an assortment of traditional Tuscan cuisine and a selection of Italian Spa cuisine dishes. Special dietary restrictions can be easily accommodated.

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.

The spa menu encompasses everything from Oriental medicine and Mediterranean elements to wellness treatments, medical and nutrition consultations and beauty care.  Pilates mat, stretching, spinning classes, step aerobics, and more are offered at the fitness center.

Packages contain two days of spa treatments and three nights at the luxury Fonteverde hotel in San Casciano dei Bagni.

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.

Once a favorite backdrop used by Renaissance painters, the vast park encompasses rolling hills, olive groves, and vineyards.
