Enjoy the glorious sunsets and stunning views from this completely restored 12th century villa perched high above the Tiberina Valley. The Locanda del Gallo offers healthy delicious meals; cold pressed olive oil, aromatic herbs; local vegetables and home baked breads and cakes.

You can also enjoy the villa's beautiful Moorish-style spa and Turkish bath. This lovely "resting" area is stunning. For your convenience and comfort, the villa provides fluffy white robes and towels. Luxuriate in the steam room, then rinse in a cool mint-scented shower, bundle up and rest in the ample and beautifully appointed lounge area. After sipping hot mint tea, head back to the steam room for another go 'round'. We find this incredibly relaxing after traveling and teaching. Many of our students also enjoy a relaxing massage by the villa's on-call masseuse organized in the spa area with the convenience of a shower and changing rooms nearby.<br />
All of this AND the beautiful villa, Jacuzzi, pool, the outstanding meals and the helpful, friendly and generous staff make the Locanda del Gallo feel like heaven on earth.<br />
