Fonteverde Lifestyle & Thermal Retreat
Renaissance palazzo meets medical-grade thermal retreat. Formal but never fussy. Guests come here for multi-night Equilibrium wellness programs and serious spa culture — not a casual weekend dip. History runs deep here: in 2022, archaeologists discovered a remarkable trove of Etruscan and Roman bronze votive statues at nearby Bagno Grande, adding another layer to an already extraordinary site.

Why It Matters
One of Italy's most awarded thermal resorts. The water flows unprocessed from the aquifer of Monte Amiata at 42°C — odorless and rich in calcium, fluoride, magnesium and sulfur. The property holds The Leading Hotels of the World membership, a 'Leading Spa' designation, multiple World Spa Awards, and won Best Wellness Retreat 2025 at the Travel & Spa Awards. The Equilibrium philosophy isn't spa-speak — it's a structured medical spa program involving doctors, nutritionists, and lymph-draining treatments.
A 17th-century Medici palazzo built right on top of ancient thermal springs in Val d'Orcia. Grand Duke Ferdinando I de' Medici commissioned it in 1607, and the thermal waters here have been drawing visitors since Etruscan times. Today it's a serious wellness destination — 78 rooms in a stately Renaissance villa, a 5,000 sqm spa complex, and pools filled with mineral-rich water bubbling up from Monte Amiata at a natural 42°C. The architecture is all coffered ceilings, antique oil paintings, and terracotta floors. But the real action happens in the water.
Where You'll Stay
6 room types available
Classic Double Room
The entry-level room, located on the first, second, or third floor of the historic villa. Compact but elegantly furnished to complement the building's Renaissance character. Marble bathroom with shower and/or tub, bathrobes, and hairdryer. Views of the hills or garden.
Double · 25 sqmDeluxe Valley View
A step up in both size and view — oriented directly toward the Val d'Orcia. Individually furnished with refined details inspired by Tuscan palace décor. Marble bathroom, down comforters, minibar, and in-room safe. Rainfall showerheads and bidets standard.
Double
Eleonora da Toledo Suite
The flagship accommodation, named for one of the Medici family's most famous duchesses. Features an expansive living room, the most refined furnishings in the property, and commanding views. This is the top of the house — a proper grand Florentine suite experience.
Double
Junior Suite
Located on the first or second floor of the villa, these rooms add a separate living area alongside the bedroom. Well-suited for longer stays given the extra breathing room. Views look out over the valley. All the standard luxury touches plus the added space makes a real difference on a multi-night wellness program.
Double · 35 sqmSuite
Located on the first floor of the historic villa. Generous suites with private terraces overlooking the Tuscan countryside — the valley views at dusk are particularly spectacular. Roomy marble bathrooms are stocked with spa products. Earth-tone furnishings feel lighter and more contemporary than the grand public spaces.
