Our favourite rooms
Choosing between the swanked-up stays at Hotel Villagio and the more rustic farmhouse-style rooms at Vintage House is a bit like deciding whether you’d like a glass of red or white. Villagio’s interiors are darker and deeper in palette and tone, while Vintage’s light-filled, vaulted spaces feel crisp and refreshing. To really soak up the vineyard views, we’d opt for the Villagio Estate Suite – the freestanding egg-shaped tub has swoon-worthy curving edges, and you can often spot hot-air balloons rising over the vines from the private patio.
Poolside
Hotel Villagio and Vintage House both boast heated outdoor pools (open daily and round-the-clock). Clinking glasses of cabernet can be heard from Villagio’s more spirited poolside scene, as wine-centric conversations flow from the loungers (and glowing fire pit after dark). Vintage House is an altogether more relaxed affair, where robe-clad guests pad around the pool in spa-style slippers and sink into a slumber induced by several grape-based cocktails. There’s also a private pool in the Estate’s villa, for utterly secluded swims and hot tub soaks.
Spa
The Spa, at 13,000-square-foot, is something of a wellness showstopper – crackling fireplaces and gently cascading waterfalls set a soothing scene. Mineral-stone massages, gold hydralifting facials, Hungarian moor mud wraps (and more) are delivered in a serenely styled network of 12 treatment rooms (including five private spa suites and couples’ suites with soaking tubs). Guests can also unwind in indoor-outdoor relaxation zones, eucalyptus-infused steam rooms, dry saunas, Swiss hydrotherapy showers, and alfresco Jacuzzis. Our pick of the bunch? The Estate’s signature organic grape-seed exfoliation treatment, inspired by the vineyard backdrop and packed with powerful antioxidants. There’s also an impressively equipped 24-hour fitness center tucked in between the two properties, with Peloton bikes, free weights, cardio machines, and more. Or you can bend with the vines at yoga classes held in the grounds.
