About Fonteverde Tuscan Resort & Spa
The Medici family often visited the natural spring waters and even built the first spa on the spot where Fonteverde Tuscan Resort & Spa now stands. Today, with a beautiful spring-fed pool, sumptuous guest rooms, and gourmet cuisine, the hotel has kept the same level luxury once enjoyed by the sometimes infamous Italian family.
Fonteverde is surrounded by the splendid setting of Val d'Orcia, between Florence and Rome. Its award-winning spa features more than 100 treatments, ranging from Mediterranean-inspired services and classic thermal therapies to Ayurvedic and esthetic rituals.

Fonteverde makes use of the area's renowned mineral spring water. Its seven thermal hot spring swimming pools are constantly fed by the Ferdinando I dei Medici, named in honor of the founder of the first spa on the site Fonteverde now occupies. Waters are naturally 107 degrees Fahrenheit (42 degrees Celsius) and contain sulfate, calcium, magnesium, and fluoride. One of the pools is equipped with a waterfall, a counter-current circuit, underwater benches, and a swan neck sculpture from which a water jet provides a hydromassage. The signature Bioaquam circuit® is a current favorite.
Five weekly programs are available—Spa Experience, The Ultimate Facial, Ancient Mediterranean, Thermal Beauty, Oriental Energy, Diet Experience—but guests can also choose treatments a la carte. The spa menu encompasses everything from Ayurvedic medicine to medical consultations to aesthetics. A medley of massage modalities are available, including the Original Ayurvedic Massage, carried out by Indian Master, Dipu. Mat Pilates, stretching, spinning classes, step aerobics, and more are offered at the fitness center.
Fonteverde has dedicated a garden area and a thermal pool to pets. Guests with four-footed companions can stay in special rooms with Cotto Veneto (an Italian tile company) floors, and pet-sitting is available.

Rooms & Dining
It's easy to imagine a member of the Medici family or of Europe's aristocracy enjoying the resort's 78 richly appointed rooms and suites. Burnt sienna and soft gold accents can be found throughout, and terraces overlook the surrounding countryside. The bathrooms have been designed as "miniature spas," with marble and great attention to detail.
The elegant restaurant, Ferdinando I, takes a healthful approach to traditional Tuscan cuisine. International fare is also served, and special dietary restrictions, including vegetarian diets, can be easily accommodated. At La Corte, guests can also enjoy buffet-style lunches showcasing regional specialties. Gourmet and spa cuisine at both restaurants are prepared with natural ingredients.
