Hotel Granduca Austin

If you can't commit to a trip to Italy, the Hotel Granduca is as close as you're going to get in Austin. The Italian villa in Texas Hill Country is a luxurious option for a weekend getaway, with 194 rooms and suites that include balconies overlooking the hotel's pool, an award-winning Italian restaurant, a bar featuring live jazz music and more. Gardens decorate the property, and a pool bar allows guests the option to lounge in the sun while sipping on craft cocktails. Sure, it may not be Tuscany—but it comes pretty close.
