Pros
- Walking distance to both the outdoor waterfalls and the Saturnia spa complex
- Charming country-style rooms and apartments

Bottom Line
This is one of the closest places to stay not only to the Saturnia spa complex (barring staying within the baths’ own hotel), but also the Cascate del Mulino, the (free) outdoor waterfalls fed by the same thermal waters as the spa. The latter are accessible via a path through the woods. The apartment and rooms are outfitted with country touches, including antique wood furniture, floral bedspreads, and (in some) wood beam ceilings. A discount to the spa complex as well as the golf course is available, and the hotel has a limited number of bicycles for guests to borrow. The hotel is situated within a farm that produces oil, wine, and honey, all of which are available for tasting and purchase.

Scene
This family-run bed and breakfast offers both rooms and apartments
This hotel is especially popular with tourists and families exploring the area and the thermal offerings of Saturnia. The warmth of the owners is frequently cited by repeat guests, as is the excellent homemade breakfast. Rustic accents like exposed beams and terracotta floors give the attractive dining room, with its floor-to-ceiling windows, a country charm.
Location
Walking distance to the Cascatelle del Mulino and Saturnia spa complex
The surrounding lush fields isolate the property from street noise and provide an especially bucolic setting. The short walk (400 meters) to the (free) Saturnia waterfalls is a particular advantage of the property. Several well-regarded restaurants are within walking distance of the hotel, and the picturesque towns of Pitigliano, Sorano, and Sovana are a 30-minute drive away.
Rooms
Cozy, clean apartments and rooms are outfitted in rustic style
Floral bedspreads, wrought-iron bed frames and wood furniture all contribute to a country feel in these rooms and apartments, which are all equipped with small TVs and stall showers. Apartments have kitchenettes situated right in the living-dining area, as well as pleasant stone patios looking out over the rolling hills. Some apartments can accommodate up to seven people; all are furnished with dining basics. Bathrooms in regular rooms are on the small side. Some guests have commented that bedding and heat can be on the meagre side in winter months. Room prices include breakfast; for guests staying in the apartments, breakfast is available for a reasonable fee.
Features
Walking distance to the waterfalls as well as the Saturnia spa complex and golf course
The hotel is ideally situated for those in town only briefly who may not have access to a car, as it is within easy walking distance. Massages on-site are available with advance reservation. Bathrobes and towels for use at the outside water activities can be rented from the hotel. Guests have commented that the owners will readily recommend itineraries and restaurants in the area. An excellent homemade breakfast is offered on-site (included in room rates, and available for an inexpensive fee for those in apartments), but guests will need to go elsewhere for lunch and dinner.
