The Hotel Villa Aurea comprises three buildings set in 30,000 square metres of parkland overlooking the Chiana Valley. The main building is a villa dating back to the 18th century fronted with an intricate wrought iron staircase. The hotel has 20 guestrooms, all of which combine traditional beamed ceilings and terracotta-tiled floors with contemporary furnishings, fabrics, and prints, and include air conditioning, satellite television and minibars.
The hotel's restaurant Le Salette serves breakfast, lunch and dinner daily, with dishes from both local Tuscan and wider Italian cuisine. The spa centre offers an extensive range of treatments including massage treatments, oxygen therapy, mud therapy, hay baths, and more.
