Resort Tuscany Hotel : Spa, Wellness, Restaurant, Beauty Farm and Private Villas.

By Giulio Detti

Decadent and unforgettable. Villa La Borghetta is a four-star estate that simply breathes extravagance. Hidden amongst the plains of the Tuscan countryside, between Arezzo, Siena and Florence, Villa La Borghetta is more about indulging yourself than having a place a stay while on vacation. More about throwing caution to the wind than scrimping on a bare-minimum holiday experience. And more about indulging yourself in an atmosphere that couldn't get any more stately, anymore magnificent.

Like all good things, Villa La Borghetta has had centuries to refine its self-indulgent atmosphere and royal feel. Starting out as a watch tower in the 14th century, the estate quickly grew into a sprawling farm known as 'El Borghetto del Zocco'. Bought by the powerful Piccolomini family, the estate was to become the base of this noble lineage. Renovating it with typical Renaissance style, the Piccolomini family helped shape the incredible estate that can still be seen today.

Heritage and enviable tradition for days, Villa Borghetta has class that simply cannot be manufactured. The rolling hills, flowering gardens, olive-groves and vineyards that surround the resort's striking buildings are only one aspect of this vacation spot's appeal. Not only is it imbued with the depth and splendour of centuries' old history but it's also immersed in the incredibly scenic Tuscan countryside, and you can't get much better than that.

The rooms keep with the old gentlemanly style that is spread throughout the villa. Feel like Marie Antoinette or King Henry as you unwind on the velvet chase lounge or wind-down in the gold-lined bathtub. From its four-poster bed with silk sheets to its terracotta bathroom and thick, draping blinds, each room drips with decadence and sophistication. And with internet, pay-tv, air-conditioning and heating you won't be cut of from the pleasures of the modern world either.

But if the silk and suede rooms still aren't lavish enough for you, then you cannot look past a stay in one of La Borghetta's private villas. Relax in your very own private pool. Enjoy the sunset from your very own garden paradise. And take in the magnificence of the Tuscan countryside that surrounds your very own Italian villa. It truly is like a home away from home...but this one is all the more extravagant.

If the endless beauty of Tuscany and the grand charm of the villa itself isn't enough, Villa La Borghetta also treats you to the ultimate self-pampering delight, a spa. Located within the resort estate, the Villa La Borghetta Spa is guilt-free treat a few metres from your room. From a relaxing massage, to toning facial mask or chill-out session in the sauna, skilled staff and a beautifully designed interior will make your day at the spa one to remember.

Villa La Borghetta wouldn't be world-class resort without its world-class restaurant. Who needs to go out when you can get classic traditional fare cooked with the same style and elegance that is infused throughout the entire estate? Prepared by one of Italy's most sought after chefs, the cuisine at Villa Borghetta's restaurant will keep you coming back night after night.

Villa La Borghetta isn't simply a place for you to leave your luggage while you travel, its part of the holiday itself. An experience like no other, it is without a doubt the sort of indescribable pleasures that makes your trip to the heart of the Tuscan countryside unlike any other. And with a vast and beautifully furnished conference room, Villa La Borghetta is also the ideal location to showcase your business, treat your guests or hold impressive meetings and events. - 30213
