Hotel Experiences

Culture & History

Romance
Characterised by endless vineyards, rolling hills and centuries of the world's favourite art, culture and food, Tuscany is synonymous with romance. Wake up in your luxurious suite and enjoy an exquisite alfresco breakfast on a sun-dappled terrace, before strolling hand-in-hand through the estate's thirty acres of pretty olive groves. Explore the idyllic streets of nearby Siena and Florence together, taste the region's beautiful wines, or unwind with the spa's indulgent 'Romantico' ritual - including a deep-soaking couple's rose petal bath and a synchronised massage, all accompanied by a flute of chilled Prosecco.
Spa Breaks
Nestled on a picturesque hilltop and formerly the estate's wine cellar, The Essere Spa is a haven of relaxation and serenity. With seven luxurious treatment rooms - boasting traditional barrel-vaulted ceilings and restored stone walls - you can choose from the extensive and varied menu of therapies, traditional and modern, each inspired by local ingredients - rosemary, grape and olive oil. As well as creating their own homemade, organic beauty products, The Essere Spa hosts unique workshops in which you can learn to make your very own products, allowing you to continue your Tuscan journey of wellness at home.
