Petriolo Spa Resort Pari, Civitella Paganico

Petriolo Spa Resort is everything you might expect from a 5 star hotel in Tuscany - and more too: a hotel designed to appeal to spa goers, nature lovers, and gourmets eager to savor the region's famous food and wine, and offering the service and hospitality of one of the world's finest luxury hotels.

In the heart of the Farma valley and only a few kilometers away from the city of Siena, the resort has been built on the site of the ancient medieval thermal baths of Petriolo. A veritable wellness Mecca, comprised of Emotional Spa, Officina del Benessere and Holistic Medical Spa run by Dr Luigi Brocchi, Petrolio Spa Resort offers an impressive range of therapies, the majority of which are performed using Petriolo's health inducing thermal spring water. The treatment menu includes a vast choice of innovative wellness programs and specific treatments, ranging from natural to aesthetic medicine, to traditional Chinese medicine, to angiology.

Petriolo Spa Resort provides beautifully appointed guest accommodation in 87 bedrooms and suites, furnished in classic Italian style and enjoying enchanting views of the nature reserve and the Tuscan countryside surrounding the hotel. Those looking for something really special should try to book the resort's sumptuous Imperial Suite, a magnificent apartment which opens onto a sweeping terrace with a Jacuzzi and gorgeous private garden.

The resort has two restaurants, the panoramic "Petriolo" overlooking the Sienese hills and the poolside "Brigante Toscano", serving the delicious cuisine prepared by the talented young chef Pasquale D'ambrosio, whose menus feature both traditional Tuscan and Mediterranean specialties. For health conscious guests, a series of wonderfully tasty anti-aging, energizing and low calorie dishes have been created, in collaboration with the expert dieticians of the Officina del Benessere.

A great venue for glamorous social events and important business meetings, Petriolo Spa Resort has a conference center with 9 elegant meeting rooms, with seating capacities for 8 to 100 participants.

The Petriolo Spa Resort is perfectly located for holidaymakers eager to explore Tuscany's Val di Farma and Valle dell'Ombrone: valleys which are much loved by walkers and mountain bikers, and which are traversed by rivers ideal for swimming and carpeted with woods brimming with wildlife. A great number of Tuscany's most popular tourist attractions are situated within easy biking or driving distance of the resort, such as the nearby city of Siena, the Crete Senesi, and the medieval hilltop towns of Montalcino, Pienza and Montepulciano.
