Located about two hours south of Siena in a forgotten part of Tuscany, this is a favorite destination during the winter for Italians who want to bask in the warm waters of the Saturnia springs. Most of the 90 rooms in the modern, Tuscan-style hotel are relatively small. The restaurant serves healthy and delicious food, and even offers a good selection of wine. Many health treatments are available, from Shiatsu massage to facials. There's also a gym with personal trainers at your disposal.
Some guests do their exercises in the pool.
To slip into a warm pool on a cold winter's night in Tuscany is a glorious feeling and something out of the ordinary. The most beautiful hotel in Tuscany, Villa San Michele occupies a 15th century monastery that was once owned by the Medici family. Overlooking the city of Florence from the hillsides of Fiesole , it offers a palatial elegance unmatched in the region. The terraced bar and swimming pool offer breathtaking views of Florence and the valley of the Arno. The handful of rooms near the pool are larger and more modern.
