The hype
Guests are obsessed with the magical thermal waters and the 'bathrobe life' atmosphere, but often feel the room interiors are slightly dated for the price point.
Terme Di Saturnia Natural Spa & Golf Resort - The
$400-950+/ natt
Boka detta om You want the bucket-list Tuscan thermal spring experience without the Instagram crowds, and you don't mind the pervasive scent of sulfur.
Varför människor älskar det
- Exclusive access to 'The Source'—the private thermal crater that feeds the famous public falls
- Breakfast is a lavish affair where wearing a bathrobe is the social norm
- The 'Hay Room' and 'Cocoon Room' offer uniquely Tuscan relaxation rituals
Snabb Överblick: It's a world-class wellness factory built on a literal volcano, so expect miraculous waters alongside the occasional whiff of rotten eggs and a bill that stings.
Recenserat av @thekensingtondiary: I stayed here for a weekend reset and the thermal crater blew my mind. The water stays at 37.5°C year-round, which feels like a warm hug. My son loved the pool and the robe service! It's rare to find high-end wellness that actually embraces families. 10/10 would return.

Reality check
Service can be hit-or-miss—some find it white-glove perfect, others complain of 'pretentious' front desk staff and rigid spa scheduling.
- You want to float in 99.5°F volcanic water at 7 AM before the day-trippers arrive
- You are a golfer who wants to play an 18-hole geo-certified course between spa treatments
- You are traveling with a dog (very pet-friendly with designated garden rooms)
Renlighet & Underhåll
9
- Housekeeping: Twice-daily service is standard and thorough, with evening turndown.
- Bathroom hygiene: Travertine bathrooms are generally spotless, though grout can discolor due to sulfur exposure.
- Maintenance: Grounds are manicured to perfection. Some older rooms show minor wear on furniture.
- Linens & towels: Plush and plentiful, but don't be surprised if pool towels have a faint sulfur scent even when clean.
- Odors & scents: Sulfur. Everywhere. It's natural, but it's the dominant olfactory experience.

“I would love to request a 'Superior Spring View' room to see the morning mist. If that is unavailable, a quiet room away from the main pool ventilation would be appreciated.”
FAQ & Dolda tips
Allt du verkligen vill veta innan du bokar.
Is the hotel pool the same as the famous Instagram waterfalls?
No. The hotel has a private, pristine thermal crater ('The Source'). The free, famous Cascate del Mulino waterfalls are a 10-minute walk away.
Does the hotel smell like rotten eggs?
Yes. It sits on a sulfur spring. You get used to it after a few hours, but the smell is a constant presence.
Is it kid-friendly?
Yes, there is a dedicated children's pool, but the vibe is very much 'quiet adult wellness.' Kids under 18 are restricted from certain spa areas.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes, dogs up to 25kg are welcome in specific Garden rooms for a fee of ~€45 per stay.
Is the spa access included?
Yes, access to the thermal pools and Roman bath is included. Treatments (massages, mud wraps) cost extra.
How far is the nearest town?
Saturnia village is 2km away, and Manciano is about 15km. You definitely need a car.
Insider-tips
- ✨
Walk to the free Cascate del Mulino waterfalls at sunrise (6:30 AM) to beat the tour buses.
- ✨
Ask for the 'Saturnia Mud' amenity in your room—it's often available upon request for a DIY treatment.
- ✨
The 'Silence Room' in the spa is a hidden gem for napping; it's soundproofed and often empty.
5 saker du bör veta innan du åker
💡The 'bioplankton' in the water looks like floating algae bits—it's good for your skin, but looks weird.
💡You can drink the water from a specific tap (it's a laxative, so sip with caution).
💡The golf course has its own microclimate and is often warmer than the surrounding hills.
💡Room service has a 'late night' menu that is surprisingly limited; eat dinner early.
💡The valet staff are the best source of local wine tips—ask them where they buy their Morellino.
