The elegant hotel sits on the site of a rich thermal spring, where
generations of bathers have enjoyed the health-giving properties
of the waters which gush from their source at a constant
temperature of 37°C. The warm spring feeds four pools, a Jacuzzi,
waterfalls and waterways and is harnessed in luxurious, regenerative
therapies at Terme di Saturnia’s recently refurbished spa.
ACCOMMODATION. All of the hotel’s 128 rooms are spacious,
light and airy, and designed to create a sense of harmony and
wellbeing. With muted, warm colours, quality furnishings and
atmospheric lighting, they are the perfect place in which to relax
after a long day on the golf course.
SPA. The award-winning spa, one of the largest in the world, aims
to improve guests’ wellbeing through focusing on hydrotherapy,
fitness, beauty, stress management and nutrition. All the
treatments incorporate the resort’s own skin care range, based on
the plankton and minerals that are harvested from Saturnia’s
thermal springs.

DINING. The Italian passion for food is reflected in the resort’s

restaurants, with fine dining at Ristorante Aqualuce which
embraces the proud gastronomic tradition of the region, bursting
with strong, authentic flavours.
At the Michelin-starred Ristorante All’Acquacotta, the chef
serves masterful dishes that are a wholehearted testament to the
importance of incorporating the enjoyment of food into the
journey to complete wellbeing.
GOLF. The resort’s 18-hole championship golf course, which has

been GEO Certified, is designed to blend seamlessly into the
surrounding countryside. It consists of gentle slopes and
undulating fairways, with streams and bunkers offering plenty of
challenges as well as providing a striking scenic backdrop. And if
you are one of those golfers who like to get out on the course early,
you might be lucky enough to see deer, porcupines and wild boars.
So, when you’re planning your next golf holiday, why not head
to Maremma; this Tuscan gem won’t be a secret for ever… GGM
