Monteverdi Tuscany is a luxury boutique hotel centrally located between Rome and Florence, Italy, offering stunning panoramic views of the Val d’Orcia region of Tuscany. This unique, luxury hotel is not confined within a single building, but, instead, is infused throughout an idyllic, medieval village, with rooms and suites tucked in among authentic and fastidiously maintained properties. With its authentic and painstaking restoration complete, the hotel now comprises 18 individual rooms and suites plus three elegantly appointed villas, all perfect for individuals, couples, families, and groups of traveling friends.

Strikingly renovated this past year, the Spa at Monteverdi includes an underground heated pool evocative of ancient Roman baths, as well as a sensory shower and cold plunge pool. Monteverdi is excited to debut a heated room, custom-made for Hammam treatments. There is also a relaxation lounge with views of the Tuscan hills, an herbal tea bar, and Monteverdi’s signature, outdoor, matching travertine soaking tubs, allowing guests to immerse themselves in an intoxicating blend of sights, smells, and sounds. Surrounded by natural greenery, this idyllic sanctuary offers views stretching as far as Montalcino and Siena, as well as a wide range of organic facial and body treatments featuring luxurious spa products from Santa Maria Novella in Florence and Charme d’Orient in Paris.

Before the common era, the ancient Romans used thermal baths to stimulate and refresh the vascular system. In homage, the new underground Monteverdi pools invite guests to rejuvenate the body and relax the mind in the spa’s Salus Per Aquam – the Water Circuit treatment. The process begins with a sensory shower designed to stimulate and energize the body with three different temperatures and water pressures. Guests then proceed to the warm pool with hydro-massaging jets and a waterfall shower, complete with views of the Tuscan hills. The third step in the ritual is the frigidarium, or cold plunge pool, to invigorate the vascular system. The therapy concludes in the relaxation room with a cup of herbal tea in hand. $100 for 90 minutes.
