Terme di Saturnia Golf
Terme di Saturnia is one of the most complete expressions of Italian resort golf
Terme di Saturnia is one of the most complete expressions of Italian resort golf, combining wellness, Maremma landscape and a golf course capable of matching the quality of the surrounding hospitality. The layout sits among soft hills, Mediterranean vegetation and the warm southern Tuscan light that makes everything feel slower, more elegant and more memorable. From a golfing perspective, it is far more than a decorative resort extra. Good scoring depends on intelligent line selection, measured approaches and sound mental discipline, especially once the wind arrives or the greens become quicker through the day. The best experience comes through the full stay: morning round, thermal spa in the afternoon and a well-paced dinner in the evening. For international travellers seeking a high-end Tuscan destination that feels polished rather than overexposed, Saturnia is exceptionally convincing. Here, golf is not separate from wellness; it becomes part of it.

Exclusive Experiences
Secrets found in no guidebook, curated by our concierge.
Cascate del Mulino — Ora Tarda
Saturnia's cascades are well known, yet they change completely when experienced outside the obvious hours. The thermal water, pale stone and Maremma landscape create a post-golf experience far more sensory than their fame suggests.
“Go in the day's last light or very early morning: the secret is not the cascade itself, but the moment when the crowd no longer dictates the rhythm.”
Maremma — Rosso e Camino
Around Saturnia, inland Maremma can feel more austere than coastal: spiced reds, long tables, stone and fire. It is an ideal complement to a club built on the balance between resort, nature and wellness.
“Choose a lighter Morellino and let the territory do the work: the best dinner here is not the most constructed one, but the one that feels as if it has always been waiting.”
Saturnia — Circuito Termale Lento
When thermal water is part of the landscape itself, wellness stops being an add-on and becomes part of the journey. A slow circuit of pools, steam and quiet pauses is perhaps the most coherent form of recovery after golf at Saturnia.
“Avoid the fast rhythm of an urban spa: here it works best to stay longer in each stage and let the water set the pace.”
Ristorante Caino — Il Genio di Valeria
A few minutes from the club, in the medieval hamlet of Montemerano, Valeria Piccini has built one of Italy's great gastronomic addresses. Two Michelin stars earned with quiet determination, a kitchen that interprets the Maremma without ever imitating it. Wild boar, pigeon, sheep's cheese: everything speaks of this land, but in a voice entirely its own.
“Book the table by the window overlooking the village and let Valeria choose the menu — you won't regret it.”
Pitigliano — La Piccola Gerusalemme
Built on a tufa outcrop that plunges into the Lente gorges, Pitigliano harbours an intact Jewish ghetto dating from the sixteenth century — a labyrinth of alleys and synagogues that earned it the name Little Jerusalem. The late-afternoon light on the golden tufa is one of the most beautiful sights in the Maremma. The Jewish museum, with its workshops, oven, and ritual cellar, surprises anyone who came only for the landscape.
“Enter through the synagogue gate in the late afternoon, when the tourists have left and the courtyard is nearly silent.”
Vie Cave — I Corridoi degli Etruschi
Carved by the Etruscans into living tufa, the Vie Cave are corridors up to twenty metres deep linking Sorano, Pitigliano, and Sovana through a landscape of stone, roots, and moss. Walking the floor of these gorges is a sensory experience without equal: the sky narrows to a thin strip overhead, time slows. The Via Cava di San Rocco, starting from Sorano, is the wildest and least-trodden.
“Start from Sorano at dawn in trail shoes: the silence and the cool damp of the tufa in the early morning are unrepeatable.”
Museo Civico di Sorano — Le Radici Etrusche
Nestled in the medieval heart of Sorano, this intimate museum holds Etruscan artifacts recovered from nearby necropolises with an almost personal tenderness. Cinerary urns, red-figure vases, and burial goods tell of a civilization that considered these hills sacred long before Rome arrived. It is not the Louvre — and that is precisely why it works.
“Ask the attendant to show you the decorated bronze mirror fragment — it is not on permanent display but worth every word.”
