Green Park Resort
C. Italy: Tuscany: Tirrenia
Located on the west coast of Tuscany, this is a resort that JDB considers perfect for groups. The meeting facilities are state-of-the-art and include a 500-seat auditorium. What makes this a unique group venue is the exceedingly high caliber of their restaurant. Headed by Chef Luca Landi, who came from a three-star Michelin restaurant in Florence, the cuisine is nothing short of amazing and deserves a Michelin star. Both in presentation, quality and taste, this is one outstanding restaurant! Additionally, the restaurant is cleverly divided into four areas, allowing small groups to dine together. The other wonderful thing about this hotel is that it is not a high rise; the modern accommodations are in two-story buildings scattered on the property. All rooms (including junior suites) feature new, custom made furnishings, beautiful marble bathrooms, hardwood floors, and mini bar. It is a short walk to the beach, and the resort now offers a complete spa and fitness center. Individual clients are, of course, welcome here. In fact, there is a separate entrance for them. There is a huge swimming pool with restaurant and bar as well as tennis courts on the property. The acres of gardens are now mature giving the resort a lush, tropical feel. Another plus is that the property is a very short drive from the international airport at Pisa.
