Dishes are rich in antioxidant elements and omega-3, known to reduce the risk of cancer, diabetes and heart disease, and incorporate the elements of a well-balanced diet including high protein meats and high fiber fruits and vegetables. Created by Executive Chef Pierluigi Marani, the healthy menus contain fresh fruits and vegetables, grains, meat, fish and olive oil, all of which are abundant in the southern Tuscany region with its close proximity to the Mediterranean waters and farms lands. Providing a sensible diet is a fundamental element in achieving the “Mediterranean Lifestyle,” which is defined as an equal combination of a balanced life, physical activity and a healthy diet. The promotion of a fulfilling and healthy lifestyle is the philosophy and overall objective of the Terme di Saturnia experience. The resort aims to provide each guest with the core principals of the Mediterranean Lifestyle, which can be incorporated into their daily lives upon departure. Terme di Saturnia’s newest restaurant, all’Acquacotta, is the perfect choice for classic Tuscan dining with its selection of traditional and seasonal Tuscan fare such as Crostini Misti Toscani, mixed Tuscan canapés and choices rich in protein including Pappardelle al Sugo di Cinghiale, large egg noodles with wild boar sauce, and Bistecca di Chianina alla Fiorentina, Florentine T-bone steak of “Chianina” beef.

In addition, Ristorante Aqualuce offers a special Chef’s Dinner and Spa Menu. “The goal of our culinary program is to educate guests on making the smart and healthy choices, but also helping them understand that heart and body conscious choices don’t necessarily mean you have to sacrifice the taste and enjoyment of a meal,” said Chef Pierluigi Marani. “At Terme di Saturnia’s two upscale on-site restaurants, guests benefit from a wide selection of savory and satisfying dishes made with the highest quality ingredients, such as high-protein, locally breed meats, freshly caught fish and fruits and vegetables farmed from the surrounding hills of Tuscany.” A true medical spa with a staff of 45 therapists and five medical doctors, Terme di Saturnia Spa & Golf Resort features therapies for beauty, stress management and thermal and hydrotherapy treatments based on the area’s unique thermal waters which date back to the Etruscan period.
