Villasanpaolo Spa Hotel ★★★★

The medieval city of San Gimignano is both full of history and also home to an array of interesting cultural activities, from exploring the many towers, to browsing the local food markets and visiting the Museum of Sacred Art.

The hotels’ large outdoor pool is perfect for a cooling dip after a long day of sightseeing, or in fact a chance to burn off some of those calories from the delicious, compulsory, Italian carb overload! Speaking of which, Tuscany will be brought to your table with the restaurant’s juxtaposition of tradition and modernism, giving life to unique flavours. The love and passion for the surrounding land is rightfully reflected in the gastronomic genius on offer. Start your day right with the delicious breakfast buffet of exploding flavours and aromas, including bruschetta made with Tuscan bread and extra virgin olive oil produced by the hotel itself. In the evening, enjoy a romantic candle lit dinner feeling like royalty overlooking your leafy kingdom of the San Gimignano hills, or alternatively dine in the intimate wine cellar.

Take time to recharge in the hotel’s spacious spa. The indoor heated pool, also has a connected outer section which allows you to lie back in warm weightlessness surrounded by the ancient olive trees. Let off some steam in the spa's sauna, or enjoy one of the numerous treatments on offer, ranging from clay and bio-algae body treatments to bamboo massages. They even offer massages for children, couples treatments with Champagne and fresh fruit, and exclusive Wellness packages.

The Classic Room for two comes with complimentary Wi-Fi, television, a large ensuite and even your own patio or balcony, with views of either the charming gardens with 600 olive trees or the historic towers.

Not only is there natural beauty to be enjoyed at the Villasanpaolo Spa Hotel ****, but also plenty of enchanting culture and gastronomic excellence, need I say more!
