“Low season is the best season!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 May 2009

person found this review helpful

I went to Terme di Saturnia with my then friend-girl (we were just friends), she is now my fiancee. I booked this hotel because I saw it on the pages of "Small Luxury Hotels of the World" and it just looked fantastic. I've never been to Italy at the time and I guess that may have some influence on me. We arrived in Rome with our luggage LOST! With no luggage, we drove our rental car and headed off to Terme di Saturnia. I love driving and had wanted to drive an Alfa Romeo 156 but ended up with a Fiat, oh well. I also bought a GPS and was completely relying on it to work in Italy, well, guess what, wrong software and we were on our own with a map. The whole drive took almost 2.5 hours at night with the 2 of us driving in pitch black darkness in the country side with nothing but our head lights. It was nothing short of a MIRACLE that we found the place without missing even one turn! There was something strange while on the way there... what's with all the wondering cats?? The hotel was expecting us and after we checked in, they found out we did not have our luggage, they gave us 2 suites of warm up to tie us over until our luggage arrive (the luggage never came, just when we thought all hope was lost, the luggage showed up in our hotel in Florence, yet another miracle). I awoke the next morning to a beautiful view of the Tuscany country; there was a town perched on top of a near by hill and farms dotted the landscape. I had to rub my eyes in disbelieve in the beauty I had found myself in, it was just amazing. Our room was fantastic, just like the picture in the advertisement, as a matter of fact, I think we stayed in that exact same room! The room was large, clean and up to date. There was also a golf course but it doesn't look like a nice one (I am a single handicapper). The breakfast buffet was fit for royalty. Everything was fresh, healthful, and delicious with plenty of variety. We had to buy our swim wear at the hotel shop (super expensive, but what can we do? my friend-girl's suite was super expensive but super sexy, those Italians sure knows how to design sexy swim suites, she still wears that suite to this day, and she is super sexy!). I read the review that told people to stay away, but I guess when I was there, it was the low season and there was barely anybody there and everything was just wonderful. The natural pool was hot, soothing and , yes, stinky but it did not bother us. We also had a chance to walk around the surrounding country side and visit an abandoned farm house; everything was just wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! We drove to a nearby town, about 30 minutes away to buy some underwear (no luggage, remember?) and I ended up missing my spa session but my friend-girl had hers and she was completely happy with it (the underwear we bought were also super sexy, I guess everything Italian is sexy, and we also still wear them to this day). It is true that there seemed to be no restaurant anywhere in the surrounding area but the hotel restaurants offered us in-room dining since all we had were our warm up suits. Other than the steak (American steaks are just tough to beat), the food was outstanding!

Overall, Terme di Saturnia was not easy to get to but once you are there, you will be amazed at what is offered. I guess with the right frame of mind and going in the low season is also a good thing; we didn't see any kids, just maybe 30 other guests, if that. Also, they don't seem to get a whole lot of Asian visitors; we get curious stares, not unfriendly or unpleasant, but definitely curious. Also, be careful of who you go with, you might also end up with a fiancee like me!

“Stay away”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2008

I found this on SPA Finder, and cross referenced with Small Luxury hotels. I filed formal complaints to both. This place is a DUMP. There are busloads of people in the Thermal baths that the hotel has to share with the locals, many of whom are very old or have skin ailments cured by the waters. Lots of screaming children, the place is packed and only separated by a thin wire fence. The pool area has cheap plastic chairs and the sauna is worse than any city gym, its like a small trailer with sticky plastic seats. Treatments are only so-so, and sheets instead of walls ensure that the groaning old person next door going on about his ailments during his treatment can be well heard. Food is dreadful, but perfect for those on a no sodium, low oil diet. There is no decent italian restaurant or cafe within walking distance. Speaking of distance, a very expensive car service from the local train station made for a hellish and very expensive journey from London (plane, two trains and a two hour taxi ride). The hotel is isolated, so apart from sitting and watching the ill get their cure on, there are NO other facilities. No art, just a cheesy "antiquities" store with miniature bronze repros of famous sculptures. Evenings can be spent in cheap plastic chairs listening to Liberace style music, or playing charades in the lounge. If you've never been to a spa, this may all sound appealing but I cannot understand how this place stays open - but of course the older clientele love it; they go every year. Tables of 60yr old+ clients go yearly for the cures. And of course, physically challenged. if you dont fit into either group I would advise you to spend your money elsewhere. ANYWHERE else.

“Unique and Wonderful Experience”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 November 2007

people found this review helpful

I found this hotel because it was written up in Conde Nast magazine. My travel agent had never heard of it, but booked it for us anyway. My family (husband and 3 girls under 13) were travelling through Tuscany. This was a totally unique and memorable stop for all of us.

The hotel grounds have a simple elegance. Our room was clean, but fairly plain. This might have been because we needed a room for 5 people. I am not complaining in any way. It just wasn't anything special.

The pools were incredible. Quite an experience! (Note that they do not allow children in most of the pools).

The restaurant was excellent and a typical European many-houred affair. So relaxing!!

The staff was totally accomodating, even though we knew very little Italian.

The spa was such an experience. Wonderful!

Don't miss the natural hot springs that are up the road! While it is a little difficult to find, (not the typical American signage) They are amazing. Get there early though, (7 am) as it fills up fast!

I stayed in this hotel during the first week of september. Normally I choose my room in five-star hotels and this hotel is ... perfect. The Hotel is wonderful with an amazing location. The service is excellent with staff willing to make your stay confortable. in this season it's possible to eat near the natural pool of spa. Rooms are quite spacious. The spa is wonderful too. The relation beetween quality and price is great!. I'll stay the next year.

“Great Spa, if you can stand the stench!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 September 2007

We had the opportunity to be in the Terme di Saturnia Hotel for a complimentary three-days stay, in a junior suite, bed and breakfast.

The hotel is a very nice and big structure, with a golf course (there are still some work in progress...), tennis courses, and, of course, the thermal pools.
The main pool, with a rocky bottom, is really deep, and the water is more than warm (37 degrees celsius).
Starting from the lobby, you can smell sulphur (hey it's a real spa, after all), and this smell is just about everywhere.

There are also complimentary jacuzzis (with thermal water, of course), and smal waterfalls, together with shallower pools.
When you don't feel like bathing, you can relax by the pool, have a drink (not so expensive).

Breakfast is very good (you have also low-cal options), and the two restaurants (one poolside, but U have to consider the smell...) serve good (if not excellent) food for a reasonable price.

Our room (a junior suite) was very spacious, with marble everywhere.

Service was good and professional, and you have a great variety of treatments to choose from (they don't come cheap, though).

All in all, a great experience, if you want to relax, in marvellous Maremma (don't miss to visit the nearby Montemerano, Sovana and Pitigliano, and go wine tasting in Scansano, for a great Morellino)

  • Liked — The pools, beautiful sorroundings, great rooms
  • Disliked — non-free Internet access, very early dinner (for italian standards)
