Renaissance adds Tuscan spa hotel to portfolio
The 200-bedroom Il Ciocco hotel in Barga, Tuscany, Italy, will be rebranded as Renaissance Tuscany Il Ciocco Resort & Spa in Barga following a franchise agreement between Marriott - which owns the Renaissance brand - and Shaner Ciocco.
The property, situated in the Serchio Valley, was originally built as a family retreat and facilities include a luxurious spa and indoor and outdoor pools overlooking the Tuscan landscape.
Marriott will undertake a complete redevelopment of the hotel, which is scheduled to reopen as a Renaissance in 2012.
The hotel is also known as the "music hotel" as the first music video transmission in Europe (Lionel Richie's "All Night Long") was broadcast from Il Ciocco in 1984.
