Terme Di Venturina

Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about Terme Di Venturina? I was expecting just another thermal spa hotel – you see them all over Tuscany – but this place actually has some serious character. It’s tucked away on Via Delle Terme, which honestly feels more like a quiet residential street than somewhere you’d find a 4-star hotel, and that’s kind of the point. The building itself has this lovely weathered elegance, not shiny and new, but in that good way where you can tell it’s been welcoming people for decades.

The thermal waters here are the real deal – I mean, this isn’t some manufactured spa experience with imported minerals. These are natural hot springs that locals have been using since, well, probably Roman times if we’re being honest. The water has this slight sulfur smell that takes about five minutes to get used to, but once you’re in those pools, especially in the evening when the crowds thin out, it’s genuinely therapeutic. I watched this elderly Italian couple who were clearly regulars – they had their own little routine, moving between different temperature pools like they’d been doing it for years. The outdoor thermal pool stays open pretty late, which is perfect because there’s something magical about soaking in hot mineral water under the stars.

What I really appreciated was how unpretentious everything felt. The rooms are comfortable without being flashy – mine had this great little balcony overlooking the gardens, and the bathroom actually had decent water pressure (you’d be surprised how often that’s an issue in older Italian hotels). The staff genuinely seems to care about the place, not just going through the motions. At breakfast, this one server – older guy with a great mustache – remembered I liked my cappuccino extra hot after just two days. Small thing, but it matters.

Location-wise, you’re about a 15-minute walk to the town center of Venturina Terme, which is sleepy but charming. There’s this fantastic little trattoria called Da Mario (locals will point you there) that serves incredible wild boar ragu – definitely worth the short stroll. If you’re driving, parking is actually easy here, unlike some places along the coast. You’re also perfectly positioned for day trips to Piombino or even the ferry to Elba, though honestly, once you settle into the rhythm of the thermal baths, you might not want to venture far.

The 8.4 rating makes sense to me – it’s not perfect, but it doesn’t need to be. This is the kind of place where you come to genuinely relax, not to Instagram every corner. The thermal facilities close for cleaning between 1-3 PM, which initially annoyed me until I realized it forced me to actually explore the area or take a proper siesta. Sometimes the best hotels are the ones that slow you down rather than speed you up.

Reviews

• Great hotel. – Maria from France – 3 June 2025 (9/10)

  Very nice people in the reception and in the restaurant. Very good breakfast with non gluten and lactose free options. Very clean and well maintained. Fantastic swimming pool area (indoor and outdoor).
  
  What could be improved: Dinner in the restaurant was very good but expensive.

• Super friendly staff in a good location for Tuscany trail bike event start – Leanne from Switzerland – 28 May 2025 (9/10)

  Staff were extremely helpful and kind with nothing being too much trouble.
  Food in the restaurant was very tasty with a good breakfast selection.
  Even though they were very busy due to the Tuscany trail bike event the staff were very polite and friendly and accomodating.
  Room and bathroom were a good size.

• Great comfort and value – Lewis from United States – 14 April 2025 (9/10)

  Breakfast was great and the beds were comfortable. We enjoyed dinner on the property a few times and it was always good. The pool area was nice, but I wish the temperature of the water was a bit hotter. We did notice a peculiar smell at times from our bathroom, was this through the drains or something related to the thermal water? The staff was very friendly. We would definitely recommend and visit again.

• Relax. – Manuel from Italy – 29 September 2024 (8/10)

  the Hotel facilities as last year, including the pools and the dining area. The breakfast was better than last year.
  It's close to the terme.
  
  What could be improved: The waitresses at breakfast improved, but still you get asked the room number but not what you want to drink, except once. I don't know how else to say it.. it's annoying.

• relaxing peaceful hotel with exceptional staff and a great outdoor pool. – Ross from New Zealand – 21 June 2024 (9/10)

  staff were awesome, helpful, friendly and kind. Great breakfast and lunch menu, great pool and pool staff.
  
  What could be improved: I would have liked a larger bed and newer pillows. Also longer hours for the pool to be open as it was so nice in the evening…but closed at 7pm

• Fine hotel – Dominique from Belgium – 14 June 2024 (7/10)

  Good hotel. Nice, clean and quiet rooms.
  
  What could be improved: Spa at surcharge. Not possible to charge electric car. No restaurant.

• Queit moden Hotel in the Thermal Centre of Venturina – Manuel from Italy – 24 September 2023 (8/10)

  Overall, we had a good time and I would recommend it. They are a good option if you want to go to the Thermal Centre.. because it's basically there!
  The access to the Hotel gives also accesss to all the thermal pools, internal and external.
  If you want to go to have therapeutic treatments like mud, etc, then you can cross the internal road and be there, so it's very convenient (please note nothing is included there anyway).
  
  What could be improved: I have to say that for being a 4 star and the requested prices, these are sub-par: rooms are basic (our terrace was nice and big but with just 2 chairs), breakfast is good, but if you are a child.. 90% sweets (I wonder elderly people do not have glicemic issues there 🤷🏻‍♂️), service ok-ish, but they only ask you the room number when you enter for breakfast, not what you want to drink (it's the little things and attentions that matter).
  One thing… You will find lots of complaints about the moquette in the rooms and corridor on Booking… it's there to damp the noise, so it's good!).
  The building is also more modern than I thought.

• Great pool – Jon from United Kingdom – 10 August 2023 (7/10)

  Room was clean but very plain. It needed some decorations or at least picture on the wall.
  Breakfast was a bit disorganised, it was a buffet style but we had to ask for everything as there were only cakes available. Once we have asked the helpful staff provided what we have asked for
  
  What could be improved: I wasn't satisfied with the pool towel charge. I was charged for the towels at the front desk for the first day then I was told that no more charges will required. When I went to the pool I was asked again for money for towel hire. There were calls to the main reception and a lot of talking. At the check out it was implied to me that we have not returned the towels. I felt somehow unconfortable being accused of stealing the pool towels. No information about the pool towels was given to us at the check in. Apparently we could have just use the room towels and avoid the 10 euro daily charge.

• Superb – Claudi from Germany – 5 August 2023 (9/10)

  We liked everything, but were disappointed by the breakfast.
  
  What could be improved: Breakfast didn't correspond to a 4 star hotel (little variety, few fresh food).
  The pillows weren't comfortable.

• nice location very good thermal water pools and excellent breakfast. For a 4 stars hotel I would have imagined that they – Piergiorgio from Sweden – 23 May 2023 (8/10)

  the pools and the breakfast
  
  What could be improved: a little too spartan
