Saturnia is located in the spectacular Maremma region of Tuscany. It’s home to one of the largest natural hot-springs in the world. Not only immersing your body in these springs is a great tonic for the body, Saturnia’s natural blue color is a sight to behold unto itself. The Terme Saturnia Resort & Spa is the property located next to the natural springs themselves and they have a variety of wonderful treatments here as well as a wonderful restaurant, golf course and exceptionally comfortable rooms. When you book a stay at the hotel you are granted access to the spa and have use of all the spa equipment including slippers, robe, bathing attire and much else.
Castello di Velona is located in a spectacular position overlooking the Orcia Valley. (Val D’Orcia) The magnificent location of this property, close to one of the most gorgeous villages in Tuscany – Montalcino – which is famous for the Brunello wine variety (one of the most popular in Italy), is not the reason why we think this spa is one of the best, although the location itself is magic. The reason why this spa is so romantic and beautiful is because of the design itself. Comprised of both indoor and outdoor heated pools, lovely modern equipment.
