Nestled on the hill of an expansive, two-mile estate in the heart of one Italy's most beloved regions, this luxury Tuscan resort offers an off-the-radar, authentic Tuscan experience inspired by local traditions. The Renaissance overlooks the magnificent Serchio Valley, and is a stone's throw from medieval villages like Barga and Castelnuovo di Garfagnana. The resort was featured on ABC's "The Bachelor" in February 2018, with the town of Barga and the Renaissance Tuscany as the home base for the show's cast. The hotel's romantic setting, the region's beauty and the town's culture made the perfect location for this episode.

Renaissance Tuscany Il Ciocco Resort & Spa overlooks the mountainous Serchio Valley, one of the most unexplored areas of Italy. Here guests can discover nearby quaint medieval villages, Barga and Lucca, or travel within one or two hours to well-known city favorites, like Florence, Pisa, and Cinque Terre. The property also offers a full-service spa, two restaurants and a bar serving local cuisine, two swimming pools, a health club, and varied excursions within the surrounding area.

NOTE: Tuscany is 200 miles north of Rome, approximately 4 hours by car or 3 hours by train.
