LHP Hotel Certaldo, Italy

• Tuscan daydreams: Embraced by the softly undulating hills of the Chianti region, the Hotel Certaldo really knows how to inspire its guests with postcard panoramas. The historic refuge is oozing with the simple charm of days gone by - housed in a converted grain mill of the 16th century - but with no shortage of modern comforts. Interiors are ultra-elegant, blending original features with sophisticated design for a delightful stay.

• Traditional cuisine: A delicious breakfast provides the perfect start to the day - power up with homemade cakes, fresh fruits, local cheeses and cold cuts. Later on, feast on a curated menu of local specialities at the hotel’s Mulino Landi Restaurant, where Tuscan snacks and heartier meals alike are prepared with care and an eye for excellent quality. Dine in a rustic ambience, or outside when the weather is warm.

• Sweet idleness: At the end of an adventurous day in Tuscany, a moment of peaceful relaxation is just what you need. How about a refreshing dip in the outdoor pool or a quiet moment soaking up the Italian sun from a lounger? You could also take a leisurely stroll through the hotel’s impressive landscaped garden, which stretches for almost 5,000 square metres around the hotel, sprawling along the banks of the River Elsa. Energy to spare? There’s a small gym on hand for those who like to keep up with their workouts.
