Grotta Giusti is a beautiful nineteenth-century villa in the heart of Tuscany, in Monsummano Terme, between Florence, Pisa, and Lucca. Originally a countryside residence for the family of poet Giuseppe Giusti, today it is a prestigious resort immersed in the greenery of its age-old park. Grotta Giusti has the charm of history, with a special atmosphere created by its architecture, the surrounding nature, and the spectacular natural thermal grotto. After a meticulous and loving renovation, Grotta Giusti has a newfound elegance, inspired by the nature and art of Tuscany and its poetry.
Today, every detail and every ambiance is inspired by its special bond with the nature and the art of its surroundings. This is the very essence of Grotta Giusti that stems from its large centuries-old park, from the limestone rock and the healthy water of its grotto, and from the verses and the paintings of Tuscany’s nature.
We like to call it “the poetry of nature”.
The thermal waters of Grotta Giusti flow out warm and pure from the hydrothermal aquifer of Montalbano, where they are enriched with precious minerals and trace elements. They are used in the very same state they are in when they bubble up from the springs, with no chemical or physical treatments.
The flavours of the earth, the scent of poetry
The bond with the local territory and culture is also found in food. Our chefs and mixologists start from the poetic atmosphere of Grotta Giusti, from the local products and from the aromatic plants of the herb garden to create their recipes and their cocktails.
The rooms of Grotta Giusti have been totally renovated. Today, each detail is a narration of Tuscan art, the nature of the park and the history that has been made inside these walls. The harmony of trees and plants is echoed in the wall decorations, paintings, and prints, in the elaborate and splendid shape of the chandeliers and appliqués. The fabrics and upholstery materials have the texture and colours of bark and leaves. Wood shows its most precious grain, the metals used are in the warm colours of antique bronze and wrought and aged iron. The light filtered through the curtains is dappled by the leaves, and the marble in the bathrooms conveys the same feelings as the limestone that is sculpted by water inside the cave.
At Grotta Giusti, the meeting and conference area is designed as a creative booster full of positive energy. It is a flexible area that can offer different experiences, from hosting private or corporate events, to workshops and meetings of all kinds, and even hosting concerts or receptions. Wellness is the key to this experience: a serene environment, capable of enhancing encounters and fostering creativity. Team building activities are a true added value. They can be done in the park, at the spa, in the cave with thermal yoga or Tibetan singing bowl concerts, or with scuba diving and spa floating in the underground thermal lake. The surrounding area is the ideal setting for many activities, including tours in spectacular vintage cars or tastings in the locations where the jewels of Tuscan gastronomy are produced.
