Stepping out of our van when we arrived at the resort took our breath away, a place where dreams go to escape on vacation, nestled among the Sienese hills — no wonder this is the place where the Grand Duke Ferdinando I de’ Medici chose to build his spa in the 17th century. 5 stars and then some within seven different pools, we lapped up a little luxury for afternoon, enjoying hydro massages overlooking view you could almost breathe in.
