Fonteverde is located in Località Terme, near San Casciano dei Bagni — a charming medieval village in the province of Siena, in the heart of the Val d'Orcia. The nearest major airports are Florence (approximately 140 km) and Rome Fiumicino (approximately 170 km); for the most discerning guests, the resort has its own private helipad. Within just a few kilometres lie ancient Tuscan borghi, the Etruscan museums of Chiusi and the celebrated Sienese vineyards.
The Thermal Lifestyle Spa at Fonteverde is a multi-award-winning destination, recognised by the World Spa Awards, Travel & Spa Awards 2025 (Best Wellness Retreat), International Spa & Beauty Awards 2024 and Haute Grandeur Global Awards. It is built around the proprietary Equilibrium philosophy — a holistic approach that views the person as a unity of body, mind and environment. The tunnel linking the hotel to the spa has been transformed into a unique museum corridor displaying ancient artefacts uncovered during construction. All treatment programmes are designed by the resort's own medical staff. Treatment categories:

The resort's landscaped park is perfect for leisurely walks and runs, and the pet-friendly policy allows guests to explore the nature trails together with their four-legged companions.

The culinary art of Fonteverde is built on the union of Tuscan and Mediterranean tradition, interpreted by chef Vito Quarto with lightness and originality.
