(Adler Thermae)

Bagno Vignoni, Italy — Some things just naturally belong together: peanut butter and jelly, Popeye and Olive Oyl, shoes and socks, black and white, ham and eggs and, of course, Tuscany and spas.. Which means the Adler Thermae and Spa in Tuscany is as "natural" as it gets.

Situated between the Italian wine regions of Montepulciano and Montalcino, the Adler Thermae Resort and Spa features 90 luxurious room and suites, all of which have a balcony or terrace overlooking the Val d'Orcia.

Val d'Orcia features pristine, untouched landscapes filled with rolling hills covered with vineyards, sunflowers and grain surrounding the Orcia River which are the hallmark of this yet to be discovered region in southern Tuscany.

Owned and operated by the Sanoner family which has been in the hotel business since 1810, the Adler Thermae Resort and Spa is one of four resorts managed by the Sanoners, with the other three located in the Dolomite mountain region of Italy.

Now in the family's seventh generation of ownership, Adler Spa is as beguiling as it is welcoming with hospitable charms which set it apart with distinctive flair.
