The nature getaway has had something of a resurgence, and not the roughing-it kind. The best ones right now offer proper wildness alongside genuinely good food, thoughtful design, and the particular pleasure of a wood-fired hot tub when the temperature drops.

The resort itself sits in the southernmost corner of Tuscany, in the Maremma, a region that most international travellers skip in favour of Chianti and Florence and Siena. This is their loss and your gain. The landscape here is wilder and less choreographed: long views across pasture and scrubland, medieval villages perched on volcanic tufa rock, the smell of warm earth and pine. Terme di Saturnia occupies its own pocket of this countryside, five-star in its offerings and genuinely unhurried in its pace, which is a combination that requires more confidence to pull off than it might seem.
