well this was the second of 2 hotels i stayed at in Saturnia Italy it has its own mineral springs feeding the pool awesome to relax, the rooms were clean no carpet on floor which i like but can get noisy when people move furniture or have an annoying child who dosn't know how to behave. the hotel was gracious enough to upgrade us at no charge to a suite to get away from child this hotel has restaurant right on premises but don't expect the traditional north American menu no bacon and eggs for breakfast but the buffet is light and good to start the day then a light lunch menu didn't try it but supper had different menu each nite an i was happy most of food was supplied from local producers and was always fresh a little pricey for a couple you can spend 50 to 60 euros and that's cheep the cheapest meal during our stay we had was 24 euro's and it was a restaurant in nearby community || this hotel is close to the natural public springs and water fall and neighbors the resort spa and golf course where you actually swim in the crater but is a bit pricey fo day pass the community is in the hilly country side so driving is a good choice to get a round unless you are fit lots of hills to climb and lots of cobble stones the rooms have small showers and lots of stairs to go up and down and the owner and some of the staff do speak English the menus are both in Italian and English here but this wasn't the normal most restaurants were Italian only || we bought a breakfast included option back in Feb and traveled to surrounding areas each day to come back an soak in the pool it was great stay we ere here a week and wished it was longer my skin feels great side effect of the pool enjoy your visit i plan a...
Read moreOfficially it's a 3 star accommodation, but it surely has 5 stars qualities.||The location is simply perfect: the sun-rises and sunsets we could capture from our balcony were simply awesome.||The hotel's pools get its therapeutic waters from the property own well, 200 mts deep. An luxurious privilege that this hotel shares with nobody. Only another hotel in town has the right of using that water.||Most of the rooms have also access to a large garden, where I was walking my dog and met other guests walking theirs. This is a big plus for us: this was truly a dog-friendly accommodation!||The room we had was great. It was more a 2 story small-apartment, than an hotel room. Nice entrance with a couch and minibar, and an extra second balcony. On the floor up: our bathroom with all amenities, bathrobe for the spa included. Our large bedroom with the main balcony had a breathtaking view of the Tuscan hills.||The only weak point: the WiFi was not working properly, we believe because of some erratic security settings of the repeater, which forced us to always forget the network before reconnecting.||We did not try the hotel's own kitchen, even if it was incredibly inviting, since the nearby village of Saturnia offered some incredibly good restaurants (our recommendation is Bacco e Cerere, check it out!).||The breakfast table -however- offered some excellent home made dessert. Judging by the desserts, we will have to the restaurant next time we get there.||We...
Read moreThere’s no denying the incredible potential of this Tuscan hotel. Nestled in one of the most picturesque locations imaginable, surrounded by rolling hills and bathed in golden light, it offers a truly serene escape. The biggest draw? Its own thermal pool fed by a natural spring — an absolute luxury and a rare find. Soaking in the mineral-rich waters while gazing out at the countryside is an experience hard to beat.
However, the hotel itself tells a different story. While the surroundings are breathtaking, the interior is, unfortunately, stuck in the past. Décor, furniture, and fittings are all tired and dated — clearly in need of a full refurbishment. It feels like the property hasn’t been meaningfully updated in years, and this takes away from the otherwise magical setting.
Even more baffling is the hotel’s missed opportunity when it comes to its own spa brand. They proudly sell their own line of spa products, yet none of them are used or offered in the guest bathrooms. This feels like a real marketing misstep — why not let guests fall in love with the products during their stay? It’s a small touch that could have elevated the experience and promoted their brand in a much more authentic way.
With some investment and vision, this hotel could easily become one of Tuscany’s premier wellness destinations. Until then, it remains a beautiful place with so much promise — but one that doesn’t quite live up to its...
