At first sight, Hotel Grotta Giusti simply appears to be a delightful
19th century Tuscan villa surrounded by attractive gardens. But,
concealed behind its doors there lies a world of surprises including
rooms with frescoes, exquisite Tuscan food and a spa with a difference.
Hotel Grotta Giusti has 64 luxuriously appointed rooms and six suites
all with air-conditioning, satellite TV, Internet connections and white
marble bathrooms fed with thermal water. The pleasures of dining have
all the creative flair that has made Tuscany justly famous. Spacious
grounds include a new therapeutic spa pool, tennis courts and golf
nearby. You can choose from 80 spa treatments including anti-stress, Tui-Na,
Ayurvedic and aroma massages, mud treatment or skin toning as well as a
whirlpool.
Everything here is geared towards your wellbeing, including the spa’s
hidden treasure - a labyrinth of underground caves with a thermal lake
and rock hewn steam rooms. Descend into the caves and walk through
grottos that slowly increase in temperature, amusingly named Paradise,
Purgatory and Hell.
Swim in the outdoor thermal, hydro-massage pool with the pretty gardens
as a backdrop. If you want a break from the spa, visit the interesting
mountain village of Monsummano Alto, which was deserted in the 16th
century. Back at the resort; end the day with cocktails in the bar.
