Review of Tombolo Thalasso Resort, Marin...

I attended a weekend birthday party at this hotel ...

I attended a weekend birthday party at this hotel and spent three days at this hotel during the off season of October. Having been to many four seasons resorts and other 5 star hotels I m not that readily impressed. Tombolo is well situated near a 30km stretch of beach and pine forest. It s in the heart of Bolgheri, the wine region that produces the super Tuscans like Sassikaia, Ornelaia and Masetto. The hotel has clean beautiful rooms most with balconies. The service is homely and extremely attentive, the food, well it s Italy but even In that context the food is superb. The tomobolo has a large spa with excellent facilities. One can start the day having a lovely breakfast that includes buffalo mozzarella and an espresso on the terrace overseeing the ocean, followed by biking or walking in the forest or along the beach, before hitting the spa for a massage or swim. Hard to beat!
