The Gold Hot List

Boutique hotel Rastrello, a fully restored 14th-century palazzo that sits on the border of Umbria and Tuscany, has recently expanded to bring guests a dedicated wellness area, meditation room and small dipping pool. The new Garden Annex, designed by Pellizzari Studio, was a former abandoned building which has been lovingly restored. The spa is situated on the lower level and features a sauna, shower and two lounge chairs – for added privacy, guests can reserve the spa for hour intervals and access it with their room key. The meditation room can be found on the second level and has been designed acoustically to create the most serene environment – guests can also book to have a massage or couples massage here. The garden features a deck that overlooks the lake and is home to the new dipping pool with fountain, lounge chairs and tables – guests can order breakfast outdoors from the farm-to-table restaurant, Cucina & Giardino, headed up by celebrated regional chef Nicola Fanfano.
