“A few days of happines”

The overall atmosphere makes you feel comfortable. Personnel dedicated to any service is kind and professional. The SPA is nice, well organised, tidy and offers very good treatments. You can feel a renewed person after even a couple of days.

I had come to Porretta for the soul music festival but found so much more. Stayed at this hotel where the room and the food were good but the highlight of my stay was the spa. Estela the massage professional gave me a perfect Swedish massage, using just the right pressure to relax my body and release my tired traveling muscles. The warm mineral pool was a surprise and a delight as was the dry and wet saunas. The receptionists were exceedingly helpful and added positively to my stay. Brava to this welcoming hotel!

“Lovely, but I bit far off the beaten path for a first visit to Italy”

It is very difficult to write a review of this place, because it was chosen for me as part of a tour and not by me. The hotel itself is lovely, the staff is very friendly and attentive and obviously the spa services are a treat. Loved the spa pool itself after a day of sight seeing. My only drawback, as it is with most hotels these days, is that they use very firm mattresses and theirs killed my back. I wish hotels offered different types of mattresses per floor and gave you a choice. If you were looking to stay off the beaten path, then Porretta Terme could be a good choice: it's a very quaint little town along the Reno river with a variety of shops and restaurants and has some great street art. Having said all this, as a person who was in Italy for the first time, I found that staying in a place that was about a hour and a half away from both Florence and Bologna by both car and train to be a little problematic, especially when there is a high speed train between Bologna and Florence that only takes a half hour. I felt a bit trapped staying so far outside the cities and would have stayed in Bologna if I had it to do over again. I find it's better to stay in a central city and travel outside of it than the other way around. But a more seasoned Italy traveller might prefer Porretta Terme.
