Fine food in rural Tuscany
Discover your inner Nigella or Heston in the Tuscan countryside. This four-star hotel’s Italian cooking classes begin with a visit to the local market to find the freshest local ingredients, and finish with you tucking into the treats that you’ve learned how to prepare. Located on a hillside overlooking the medieval town of Barga and the Serchio Valley, this is a stay for those who love to balance wine with wellness.
Every morning starts with a rich buffet breakfast, which can be enjoyed on the terrace when the sun’s shining or in bed if you’re feeling lazy. Later in the day, you can tuck into local delicacies, international dishes, chic cocktails, and fine wines. And if you fancy exploring the local red and whites further, there are several wineries nearby.
When it comes to the rooms, you can look forward to air conditioning, WiFi, an LCD TV, and a minibar, while the hotel’s luxury feel is accentuated by the marble bathrooms and elegant décor. The spa offers a hot tub, sauna, steam bath, and massages, while yoga classes, swimming pools, and fitness facilities are available, too.
Set in a beautiful 600 hectare estate, this stay is all about the finer things in life. Are you in?
