There are places where time loses all meaning – places where nature, architecture and inner balance merge into a harmony one never forgets. One such place is the ADLER Spa Resort THERMAE, a terracotta-toned sanctuary in the heart of the Val d’Orcia, Tuscany’s iconic landscape and UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2004.
Around two decades ago, the Sanoner family transformed an ancient travertine quarry into a Tuscan villa whose warm Mediterranean elegance blends seamlessly into the rolling hills. Today, the ADLER Spa Resort THERMAE is one of the crown jewels of the family’s hospitality portfolio – a retreat that captures the essence of its surroundings in every detail.
Design & Atmosphere – Mediterranean Light Meets Natural Materials
Earthy tones, dark oak floors, organic materials and expansive panoramic windows define the architecture. Every space is drenched in Tuscan light, framing the colours of the landscape like a living painting.
Stay & Sleep – Rooms Filled With Warmth and Light
The 90 Superior and Family Rooms welcome guests with calming natural hues and abundant daylight. Each room features a balcony or terrace overlooking the evergreen hills of the Val d’Orcia – a view that inspires instant relaxation.
Culinary Delights – A Celebration of the Dolce Vita
From the generous breakfast buffet and homemade afternoon pastries to fine dining under the open sky, gastronomy is a central part of the resort’s philosophy.
Guests can enjoy:
- Mediterranean dishes in the cosy park osteria
- Elegant evenings accompanied by live piano music
- Wine tastings from the resort’s own estate, Tenuta Sanoner
Under the guidance of Executive Chef Gaetano Vaccaro, every dish becomes a tribute to Tuscan soil and tradition: house-baked bread made from organic flour, fragrant saffron, pecorino, truffles, and herbs from the hotel’s own garden – fresh, pure, authentic.
Beyond the Resort – Renaissance Cities, Nature & Film Landscapes
Stepping outside the resort feels like walking into a Renaissance painting. The Val d’Orcia, with its iconic cypress lines, has appeared in countless films – with good reason, as its beauty is truly cinematic.
From the rooms, the view stretches to Pienza, famous for its Pecorino cheese and perfectly preserved Renaissance architecture. Siena, Montepulciano and Montalcino – cultural and wine capitals of Tuscany – are just a short drive away.
Thermal Baths & Spa – Pure Wellbeing from Natural Hot Springs
At the heart of the resort lies the 36°C mineral-rich thermal water sourced from Bagno Vignoni. Its volcanic elements offer regenerating, relaxing and healing benefits.
