Stargazing Amidst the Tuscan Hills in Lucca, Italy

While the majestic rolling hills of Tuscany are stunning during the day, the starlit view at night is equally as profound. Due to its secluded location between the quaint town of Barga and Serchio Valley, Renaissance Tuscany Il Ciocco Resort & Spa gives way to an uninterrupted dark sky, stippled with stars. The new La Stella Toscana (The Tuscan Star) experience invites travelers to cast their eyes above and discover the night sky from either their guest room balcony or from the al fresco La Veranda terrace. The experience includes a cozy, complimentary blanket and unlocks exclusive access to the resort’s secret Zodiac menu. The menu features cocktails hand-picked for each star sign based on the sign’s personality traits and cocktail profile. Now, travelers can have their stars and sip them, too. To give you a taste…

  • Bold and courageous in personality, Scorpios combine rationality with instinct and logic with intuition. Their beverage of choice will have to match those traits equally with a strong citrus flavor, igniting emotions and stimulating the palate. In short, a Whiskey Sour, soft and fresh, but with an intense character. 
  • The fourth constellation of the zodiac lives on love and feelings. People born under the sign of Cancer are capable of giving a lot, but they also need to receive a lot from an emotional point of view. Love and passion are focal points for them, which is why their cocktail of choice is the Americano, which, thanks to its special texture and extraordinary combination of flavors, conquers at the first sip, like everything inspired by red passion.
