Hotel terbaik di Poggio Murella

If you search TripAdvisor for Saturnia, you will see several different ”properties”. And that's because there are. I would have thought that there were these hot springs with a resort built around it, but that is sort of the case and sort of not. In reality, the Saturnia hot springs have THREE different ”properties” all somewhat connected and all somewhat (confusingly) distinct. Here is my guide to them: PROPERTIES - 1. Saturnia Tuscany Hotel Resort 2. Saturnia Parco Thermal 3. Saturnal Thermal Springs PRICING - 1. Saturnia Tuscany Hotel Resort - pricey 2. Saturnia Parco Thermal - middle market 3. Saturnal Thermal Springs - FREE POOLS 1. Saturnia Tuscany Hotel Resort - Big swimming pool fed by original spring, with a natural (small rocks) bottom. Protected seating area around it. 2. Saturnia Parco Thermal - Multiple pools including an indoor one and one for children as well as a saune. All outdoors with no real protected seating. 3. Saturnal Thermal Springs - The Insta-iconic original. A public beach like place. Shallow, rocky and crowded. The Resort and the Parco are physically connected to each other and share a spa (with very weak massage treatments...no pressure, just slathering oil on you), but they are different commercial entities. So if you want a day in the ”thermal” (well, tepid) pools with ”magic algae”, then you have two choose between a package by one of these two different (but connected properties). Neither of these places are that near to the original and famous springs themselves (those are about a half mile drive down the road). In short, we don't regret visiting Saturnia. It was a good excuse and base from which to visit a bunch of lovely surrounding Tuscany sites (Pitigliano, Sovana, Montemerano), and we enjoyed playing a round of golf amidst the Tuscany countryside scenery (and the course is dog-friendly, so they get bonus points for that). But if you want to make a trip for some hot springs in Europe, Iceland and the Azores are miles better.

Scoperto questo agriturismo grazie per caso dove abbiamo soggiornato magnificamente per questo ponte dell'Immacolata. Si trova a 15 minuti dalle terme di Saturnia, un posto davvero suggestivo. L'accoglienza del proprietario, Luca, ci ha molto colpito e non solo anche la qualità del cibo servito ci ha fatto sentire coccolati, per non dimenticare la simpatia e la professionalità del Signor Fosco che ci ha accompagnato per le serate in cui abbiamo avuto il piacere di cenare presso la struttura. Cene di qualità e abbondante. Le camere pulite e calde, e il panorama danno un atmosfera di relax che ti distaccano dal caos cittadino. Un grazie di cuore a Luca e a tutto il suo staff.

First off, the positives: the hotel and its grounds are beautiful. The rooms are clean and spacious. The proximity to Saturnia Springs and Saturnia itself is unique, and lying in the warm natural spring is very relaxing. However, the hotel fails to justify its 5-star status and hefty price tag. The main issue is the staff’s attitude. Upon arrival, they couldn’t find our booking. The receptionist then took three phone calls from other guests, making us feel unimportant and unnecessarily prolonging the process. Lunch at the pool bar was another disappointment. We waited over 20 minutes to order while the waiter chatted with friends. The whole meal took over an hour and a half. The food was average and overpriced—the pinsa was basically cheese on toast, and the paccheri my wife had was unspectacular. Drinks were also overpriced, and there seemed to be an expectation for generous tipping. To avoid another disappointing meal, we decided to dine in Saturnia, which was lovely. However, the hotel charged us 60 euros for a 5-minute taxi ride. The next night, it was 70 euros, then 80 euros with a mandatory 10 euro tip. This feels like opportunism from the driver and the hotel. The main draw is the natural spring, a unique and relaxing experience, but the pool area feels dilapidated. We received one towel per person and one small carton of water per couple—stingy for a supposed 5-star resort. Waiter service was infrequent at best. Breakfast was average and disappointing. Pastries were fine, omelettes good, but everything else was bland and unappetizing. The coffee tasted unpleasant and was lukewarm—quite shocking for Italy. The setting was also dated and unappealing. To top it off, we were asked if we wanted to leave a tip upon checkout, which we found tacky. Overall, this hotel relies too heavily on its natural spring attraction and prioritizes profit over providing a unique guest experience. Next time, we’ll stay in Saturnia itself, which was beautiful.

Un luogo meraviglioso. La camera grande, pulita, con bagno e servizi eccellenti. Letto e cuscini comodi. Ben insonorizzata. A due passi dalle famose cascate del molino e dalle terme. Laura e il Signor Renato sono due perle! Il proprietario è una persona squisita. Fanno di tutto per metterti a proprio agio e renderti la vacanza il più confortevole possibile. La colazione abbondante con le torte fatte da loro, salumi, cornetti, bruschette con olio. È una piccola oasi di pace, dove torneremo certamente e sarà sempre un nostro punto di riferimento. Ottimo pure il rapporto qualità/prezzo.
