ADLER THERMAE SPA

First-rate Tuscan spa that hits all the senses

YOU CAN GET HIGH at Adler Thermae Spa just by breathing the air. The village of Bagno Vignoni sits between soft, green Tuscan hills scarcely changed since the Romans discovered the healing properties of its natural thermal waters. Wrapped in vapours rising from the pools that surround it, this fabulous spa hotel sprawls gently, a softly coloured, low-lying building in the style of a rural villa.

Fresh, spacious, uncluttered bedrooms have a simple elegance with honey-coloured woods, creamy walls, shots of warm colours in the fabrics and dozens of fat white candles to soften the mood at nightfall. Be as indulgent or energetic as you like. Drift from thermal pool to herbal steam room to olive tree wood sauna, wallow in the Etruscan clay bath or disappear underground into the salt grotto. Take your pick of dozens of spa treatments.

There's an impressive menu of feel-good treatments to try at Adler Thermae Spa. Book an Ayurveda wrap, a hot stone massage or salt scrub, or recline like Cleopatra with a milk and honey wrap on a waterbed. Feel energised, try a spot of outdoor yoga, Zen stretching or Pilates. What with the heady air and dreamy Tuscan scenery, you’ll feel pretty good about yourselves.

Starlit dining

Try an Argillae clay bath for two, or pedal off on mountain bikes. Soak in the deep tub in your marble bathroom, then open some vino on your private terrace with nothing but Tuscany to disturb the view. Dine under the stars in summer, and don’t miss Adler Thermae's sensational afternoon teas.
