Relais Il Falconiere & Spa

If Diane Lane’s character in Under the Tuscan Sun ever saw this place, she would have immediately given up on renovating a place of her own. Il Falconiere is everything anyone could envision for their Tuscan getaway. Copper tubs for wine baths in the spa? Check. A pristine outdoor pool flanked by daybeds? Check. A Michelin-starred restaurant that looks more like a greenhouse lit by dazzling chandeliers? Check and check. Guest rooms are visions, too, with their romantic canopied daybeds, exposed beam ceilings, herringbone terracotta floors, and stone walls; ask for one in the old manor house overlooking San Girolamo Chapel. Our favorite: the Prestige Suite, a 516 square foot fever dream with two fairytale bedrooms, two bathrooms (handy with larger groups) and exultant Tuscan gardens out your French doors.

A 17th-century villa reborn as a Michelin-starred restaurant and 30-room wine resort amid rolling vineyards, with a top-notch spa and al fresco pool to boot.

Thirsty. The on-site winery has been producing since 1860, and the estate's wines (made with oenologist Stefano Chiccioli) include syrah, merlot, cabernet, and more.

The hotel is a member of the coveted Relais & Châteaux network, in addition to earning a Michelin star for its dining. In short: It’s the very best of the best. Plus, it’s family-owned.

The Michelin-starred restaurant here is tucked within a former lemon house—perhaps a visual ode to the organic, earthy nature of its dishes. Silvia Baracchi culls from the landscape to whip up her art on a plate; tonight, the ravioli medicei with ricotta and candied fruit potato cream and alchermes swirls is transporting you into outer orbit.
