5* Tuscany coastal resort with soothing spa

• Hidden treasure: If Porto Ercole doesn’t ring a bell, it’s not a surprise. This hidden peninsula jutting from the southern end of Tuscany’s coast has so far eluded most tourists, and even in peak season you’ll find quiet corners all to yourself. Head for A Point Porto Ercole Resort & Spa for a heavenly base to explore a vastly different side to Tuscany.

• Scene-stealing vistas: Head to the hotel's two restaurants to toast to la dolce vita. All the good bits are here, from great seafood and Florentine steak to an abundance of fresh herbs and vegetables. You can also enjoy beautiful scenery as you dine, best paired with a glass of vino from some of the region's best cellars.

• Stylish and secluded spa: The resort is sleekly styled and features the essential five-star requirements to help you unwind, like a spa with a sauna, 40-square-meter indoor hydromassage pool, Turkish bath and more. There's also a menu of indulgent massages and treatments available on request (fees apply).
