Pool + Gym

The perfect symphony of elements.

The unique Sala della Piscina is the heart of Il Bottaccio. It sits within the main body of the restaurant in a perfect symphony of elements played between the pool lying at the room’s center, the giant wooden trusses flying high above, and the oversized glass and wooden portals marching down both sides. The lush green garden offers a welcome frame and canvas for the many sculptures gracing both the inside and outside of this unforgettable place. The seasonal indoor pool is open from June through September. The outdoor garden gym is available only to guests of the hotel. Private Pilates and yoga classes are available all week by prior reservation. Complimentary group Pilates classes are available (ask concierge for details).
