Italy's Beautiful Spas
At Gira, we understand how fatigued many of our clients feel after a long, often cramped, trans-Atlantic flight. We have created the ultimate solution to treat your tired and sometimes cranky, jet-lagged body – a short rest at one of our carefully selected spas. After several site visits to these exclusive spa resorts, we have chosen treatments which will renew and restore any jet-lagged traveler. Of course you don’t have to be jet-lagged to experience the rejuvenation and special virtues of spa wellbeing that the Europeans have appreciated and enjoyed for years. You can start or end your Italian holiday with a spa adventure or find time for it somewhere in the middle. You will never forget or regret it!
		Fonteverde Natural Spa Resort - Tuscany It’s no wonder the most exquisite spas in the world are found in Italy - the word spa derives from the Latin phrase, Salus per Aquam, literally, Health through Water. Soak in the same warm, restorative waters used by the ancient Etruscans and enjoy the massage of water that generates both tone and energy. Fonteverde provides a wide range of exclusive treatments designed to unite the precious properties of thermal spa waters with manual techniques, physiotherapy and science. Complete health and beauty spa experiences are also available for both face and body. Guests have a choice of seven therapeutic swimming pools and use of the holistic and beauty centers. Fonteverde offers complete immersion in the Italian philosophy of water and wellness. Located south of Siena and a little over two hours from Rome, the Fonteverde resort is set amid fragrant woodlands and the rolling hills of Val d'Orcia, in the village of San Casciano dei Bagni. This impressive Medici palace dates back to the 17th century and Ferdinano I and was built around thermal waters that date back to the Etruscan and Roman times, in fact, part of a Roman aqueduct is still on the grounds.
