The Best Hotels Near Locanda Martinelli, by the Record
-
A medieval castle anchors this Tuscan village resort, where centuries-old stone buildings have been restored around it and filled with contemporary interiors angled to make the most of the olive groves and vineyards rolling outside every window. Rooms, a spa, a handful of restaurants serving seasonal Italian cooking, and a golf course spread across the grounds. Forbes Five Star. Guests who came for a weekend tend to be found, sheepishly, on day five.

A Belmond property spread across a hilltop estate near Siena, with an infinity pool that looks out over the kind of oak forest that made early Tuscans believe in gods. Stone buildings, artifacts found in the soil underfoot, and staff who make a 2,000-acre property feel like a village. A Forbes Four Star resort that runs on slow lunches, good wine, and the general agreement that nothing urgent is happening today.

A minimalist glass cube rising out of a pine and palm forest a few steps from the Tuscan shoreline is not the most obvious design choice, but architect Klaus Müller committed. This Forbes Four Star hotel fills its rooms with pieces by Antonio Citterio and Armani Casa, and contemporary sculpture drifts through the gardens. Forte dei Marmi is already the kind of beach town that draws a well-heeled crowd, and the Principe fits right in without apologizing for it.
