Amazing Salt Pool

The salt pool was a truly unique experience, leaving me feeling rejuvenated after every dip. It's beautifully designed and the calming ambiance added to my spa day. I'd recommend it to anyone seeking relaxation during their stay.

Really good Wild Boar

I had the wild boar dish at La Cantina, and it was simply very nice. The flavors were rich and perfectly balanced. Every bite was a reminder of Tuscany's culinary heritage, making dining here a highlight of my trip.

Spacious Bathroom

The bathroom in my room was a standout feature. It was spacious with a huge tub perfect for soaking after a long day. Having that luxury made my stay feel even more special.
