Etruria Resort & Natural Spa  

Perched in the Vino Nobile heart of Montepulciano, between the Tuscan and Umbrian hills and within walking distance of the city center. Explore nearby Renaissance gems like Pienza, Montalcino and San Quirico d'Orcia, or stroll to Montepulciano Centro Storico and the Sanctuary of the Madonna di San Biagio.

Housed in an 1800 villa set in a shaded park, the resort mixes historic flair with modern comfort. Rooms and suites are individually decorated — some offer private Jacuzzis — and all aim for a cozy, sophisticated vibe; in-room perks include TV and a mini-bar. The La Perla wellness area sits in the old cellar with brick vaults for a quietly dramatic spa experience. Children are welcome, with kid-friendly spa treatments, a dedicated pool spa, playground and an indoor play area called Il Girotondo.

Sink into the spa (massage rooms, sauna, steam bath, solarium and thalassotherapy treatments), take laps in the pool, or work out in the fitness center. The hotel also offers a bar and restaurant, free parking, concierge service, laundry and private check-in/out. Accessibility features include an elevator, and staff speak English and Italian.

A business center and dedicated meeting room make this a solid pick for small conferences or corporate stays, with a tours desk to arrange leisure extras around meetings.

La Corte di Bacco serves Tuscan cuisine reworked by the chef, highlighting extra virgin olive oil and the local Red and Nobile di Montepulciano wines. There’s also a bar on site for relaxed evenings after vineyard days.
