A Serene Slice of Tuscany with Unforgettable Views and Flavors My September stay at the Renaissance Tuscany Il Ciocco Resort & Spa was nothing short of magical. Nestled in the lush hills of Barga, the resort offers a tranquil escape with panoramic views of the Serchio Valley that seem to stretch endlessly into the horizon. Each morning, I woke to a soft mist rising from the valley, the sun casting golden light over the rolling hills—a scene straight out of a painting. The resort itself is immaculately maintained, with elegant interiors that blend rustic Tuscan charm with modern comfort. My room was spotless, spacious, and opened onto a balcony that made it hard to leave—especially with the valley views and the peaceful silence broken only by birdsong. One of the most memorable aspects of the stay was the walk down the long, steep drive leading from the resort to the base of the hill. It’s a bit of a trek, but it’s worth every step. At the bottom, tucked away like a secret, is a fantastic little pizzeria—a true gem. The aroma of wood-fired dough greets you before you even step inside. The pizza was some of the best I’ve had in Italy: crisp, flavorful, and made with fresh local ingredients. The staff were warm and welcoming, and the setting—surrounded by trees and quiet countryside—made it feel like a hidden retreat. Back at the resort, the dining options were equally impressive. The food was outstanding, with rich Tuscan flavors and beautifully presented dishes. Whether it was breakfast on the terrace or dinner under the stars, every meal felt special. Overall, the Renaissance Tuscany Il Ciocco is a perfect blend of luxury, nature, and authentic Italian hospitality. It’s ideal for anyone looking to unwind, explore the beauty of Tuscany, and indulge in incredible food. I left feeling refreshed, inspired, and already dreaming of my return.

Confusing layout. Every guest should be given layout of Building, connecting pass-way and elevatir location. Poor Maintenance
