The achingly beautiful Tuscany region of Italy is a touchstone of art, food, and culture. Made up of stunning countryside and distinguished cities, Tuscany is the perfect escape for gastronomes, cognoscenti, and fans of the Italian Renaissance. Visit the stunning Roman Catholic cathedrals and galleries of Florence and Arezzo, or make your way to Pisa to see its hallmark Leaning Tower. A bike tour through olive groves and vineyards is a popular way to literally breathe in the Tuscan atmosphere.
But, never fear, the scary white-coat brigade has been banished from the best Tuscan spas, such as Chianciano’s Terme Sensoriali, one of the most approachable yet seductive day spas.
Neighbouring Fonteverde, floating on a sea of hills in Val d’Orcia, is a terraced spa resort clustered around a late Renaissance villa. The stylishly simple estate is dotted with thermal pools but, as a destination spa, also delivers oriental massage, skin consultations, dietary advice, yoga and spiritual healing – all presented clearly, without pushiness or psychobabble.
