"You can’t beat the scenery at this remote Tuscan resort: Set on a green hilltop surrounded by 1,500 acres of land, take in views of the Serchio Valley over breakfast (which, we should add, is served on a sun drenched veranda) before exploring the Italian countryside with a scenic hike or horseback ride. If that’s not your scene, walk around the nearby historic towns of Lucca and Barga, which are just a short drive away, before returning for a wine tasting or craft cocktail in the moody setting of the Nour Lounge. The 180 rooms of the Marriott-owned resort all boast luxurious marble bathrooms, heavy draperies and flat-screen TVs, perfect for winding down after a long day spent eating bowls of cacio e pepe and sipping on hearty Tuscan reds."
