Novanta's Skylodge

Staying overnight in the Skylodge in Tuscany is a completely unique experience. Imagine a room without walls, windows, or a ceiling, but with a large double canopy bed. You'll sleep under the stars, surrounded by trees and bushes, with birds and squirrels nearby. In short, unspoiled nature. The bed stands on a wooden platform on stilts, raised above the ground. Around the bed, you have a terrace with panoramic views, and behind the bed is a luxurious outdoor bathroom. The plexiglass panel above the bed ensures you won't get wet if there’s a little rain.

Facilities at Novanta

At this glamping, you experience the real Tuscany. The food that's prepared is made from fresh ingredients sourced from the surrounding area. The wine comes from local wineries, and even the truffles and mushrooms are found in the nearby forests. Dinner is prepared together and served at a long wooden table. You're warmly invited to help out in the kitchen, so you can learn to cook delicious Italian food as well.

Enjoyment doesn't end at the table—there's much more. On the property, you'll find various cozy hangouts where you can truly relax. Walk through the peaceful orchard, explore the impressive old ruins, or unwind by the saltwater swimming pool. Situated on the edge of the hill, the 20-meter pool offers stunning views of the valley, making every swim feel like a moment of pure tranquility. This glamping in Tuscany also offers plenty of activities to immerse yourself in the local culture. You can go truffle hunting, try archery, practice yoga, or have lunch at the neighbor's—the butcher’s—farm on the hill. And there's so much more to experience! Whether you're seeking relaxation or adventure, Novanta offers the perfect escape for every guest.
