Terme di Saturnia, Tuscany

The hotel is located within the Tuscan Maremma, a relatively unknown and sparsely-populated area of the region. It's surrounded by rolling hills and is near the coast.

Rome's Fiumicino Airport is the closest, and you'll need a rental car for the drive to the resort.

By plane: London or Bristol to Rome takes around 2 hours 35 minutes; Manchester to Rome takes under 3 hours - after which, it's a 2-hour drive to the hotel. Free on-site parking available. Book flights to Rome.

After a complete renovation, the hotel mixes tradition with modern design. Expect a relaxed atmosphere - you'll find guests in swimwear and fluffy bathrobes, even during aperitivo hour.

The resort has boutiques, swimming pools, a gym, spa facilities, a golf course and tennis courts. Guests can hire bikes for free. Staff are warm and friendly, providing efficient service.

Restaurant 1919 was named after the year the hotel was founded and there's a traditional trattoria on the golf course. Sip aperitivos at the chic bar and take in some live music. The antipasti (stuffed courgette flowers and plate of cured meats and cheeses) at La Stellata were very good.

La Stellata: Tuscan cuisine, open Fri-Sun for lunch and Wed-Mon for dinner.
