An Insider's Take
'Tucked into the Tuscan hills of Monsummano Terme, Grotta Giusti is one of Italy's most extraordinary thermal retreats — built around a genuine underground cave where natural thermal vapors rise from a subterranean lake, offering a spa experience that is truly one-of-a-kind.' What's Special?

The resort is centered around a natural thermal grotto discovered in 1849, famously described by poet Giuseppe Giusti as "a piece of paradise." Deep within the cave lies a thermal lake — nicknamed Paradise, Purgatory, and Hell based on increasing temperature zones — where guests float in mineral-rich waters beneath ancient stalactites. The 19th-century villa above ground adds aristocratic elegance, complete with manicured gardens, an outdoor thermal pool, and a world-class spa menu inspired by the earth's own natural heat.

WhatAHotel! Pro-Tip: Book the cave thermal experience early in your stay — sessions are time-limited and fill up fast. Arrive at least 15 minutes before your slot to fully absorb the tranquil atmosphere of the grotto before other guests arrive.
Don't Miss

Don't leave without exploring the surrounding Valdinievole valley — the birthplace of Leonardo da Vinci is just a short drive away in Vinci. The nearby thermal town of Montecatini Terme, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is also worth a stroll for its stunning Belle Époque spa architecture and vibrant piazzas.
