Hotels ➜ Bagni di Pisa Palace & Thermal SPA ★★★★★

Bagno di Pisa Palace and Thermal Spa is nestled in the Tuscan hills between Pisa and Volterra, blending historic elegance with the healing power of thermal springs. The 19th-century building was once a retreat for nobles and intellectuals and has preserved that character to this day. The bright façade with columns and tall windows opens onto a park full of cypresses, olive trees and fragrant roses, where time moves more slowly. Inside, marble staircases, stucco ceilings and antique paintings lead into an atmosphere that recalls the great tradition of grand hotels, while modern comforts are discreetly integrated. The heart of the property is the thermal spa, whose sulphur-rich water has been valued for centuries for its beneficial effects on skin and respiratory health. Guests glide through indoor and outdoor pools framed by stone and greenery, letting the warmth carry them while looking out over the gentle Tuscan hills. Treatments with local ingredients like olive oil and grape seeds combine ancient rituals with contemporary wellness.

The rooms and suites are spacious and furnished with fine fabrics, handmade furniture and artworks, many with views over the park or the surrounding countryside. In the evening the restaurant serves Tuscan cuisine made with seasonal ingredients and regional wines that capture the simplicity and depth of this area. After dinner the terrace invites you to linger as the air smells of sage and cypress and silence is broken only by the distant ringing of church bells.

Bagno di Pisa is also an ideal base for golfers who want to combine sport and relaxation. Only about 30 minutes’ drive away is the Cosmopolitan Golf & Country Club, a modern 18-hole course that winds through pine woods and open fields. Wide fairways, strategically placed water hazards and well-maintained greens demand concentration, while the quiet surroundings and views over the Tuscan hills make every round relaxing. A little further, around 45 minutes away, you reach the Golf Club Forte dei Marmi on the Versilia coast. There maritime breeze meets flat fairways that recall classic links courses, while the Tyrrhenian Sea glitters in the background and the elegant charm of Forte dei Marmi shapes the atmosphere. Bagno di Pisa Palace and Thermal Spa thus unites the pleasure of thermal therapy, the charm of a historic place and the opportunity to discover some of the most beautiful golf courses in Tuscany. After a day on the course you return to the calm of the spa, where warm water and the silence of the hills relax the body and clear the mind.
