The Adler Thermae Resort Spa – Paradise in the Heart of Tuscany

It is a rare thing for a hotel-spa to successfully combine the modern trends of spa and hotel culture with long-standing traditions, but the Adler Thermae Spa Resort in the heart of Tuscany does just that and more.

If you have ever been to the Tuscany region of Italy then you already know how breathtakingly beautiful it is. If you have never been, then the Adler Thermae Spa Resort certainly gives you every reason to go there and experience the region. You will be treated to a regenerating holiday in an atmosphere where hospitality and guest comfort are top priorities. The Adler Thermae is a new property built to complement the legendary Adler Spa Resort in the Dolomites area, which has been run by the Adler family since 1810. The family describes the new hotel as “an oasis for the body and the mind.”

Adler Thermae’s most prominent characteristic is its location. Just metres from the town of Bagno Vignoni, guests can enjoy the relaxing and surreal thermal vapors wafting up from the warm waters surrounding the town. The curative powers of these thermal baths have been famous from the times of the ancient Etruscans and Romans. The tradition of thermal baths is a part of the spa experience at the Adler Thermae. Several warm, spacious pools called the Adler Aquae World are nestled comfortably on the grounds surrounded by the green hills of Tuscany.

The relaxing atmosphere of the resort is achieved by its design and the gardens that surround it. The rooms are luxuriously spacious but comfortable – they are bright, have bio-climatization systems and each room comes with either a balcony or terrace that gives guests a wonderful panoramic view of the Orcia Valley.

The Adler Thermae spa itself offers the best spa treatments available, from Ayurveda to Zen stretching instructions, and from the more traditional health care applications like massages to the more innovative and advanced vital ageing therapies. From head to toe, the spa has everything you need for ultimate relaxation. The Adler Thermae spa also includes a Man Spa that offers the full line of spa treatments and anti-ageing treatments for men.

If a more aggressive exercise routine is what you are looking for, then Adler Fit, World of Fitness provides both full indoor and outdoor gyms.

Most hotel-spas are only considered world class if the cuisine offered in their restaurants is world class, and the food offered at the Adler Thermae is certainly that. Chefs Gaetano Vaccaro and Onofrio Fusillo are experts in the cuisine of the Tuscany region and offer up a wide variety of light but exquisitely tasty dishes. My suggestion is that you order the Scottiglia di Carne Senese – a delectable mixed meat stew. You will be choosing your wine from one of the most interesting wine cellars in the region, In Vino Veritas, where you can find some of the best local wines – Montepulciano, Montalcino and Chianti. If you are looking for wines from the other regions of Italy, they are available in the cellar for your pleasure as well.

At the Adler Thermae Spa Resort, kids are not only welcome, there are special programs designed just for them so that they can have a memorable time and allow mom and dad to relax at the spa. AKI Kids Club organizes games, crafts and even trips designed to be fun and educational. This is a unique feature of the hotel that sets it apart in the region.

The Adler Thermae Spa Resort is one of those special places that seems to exist outside of time. It is a place that offers pure relaxation and pure rejuvenation, in other words, pure dolce vita.
