A New Luxury Eco-Resort off the Tuscan Coast

Trip Advisor RatingPowered By TripAdvisor
LIFESTYLE

With an ideal location off Italy’s central west coast and unmatched attentive service just a couple of hours driving from Florence, The Sense Experience Resort sets a new standard for hospitality in Tuscany. This new, magical property is set along the Maremma, bordering the Tyrrhenian Sea, with a stunning natural park set on 12,000 acres. Here, you have access to the area’s most amazing beaches and attractions, such as wineries, the Castle of Valli, and the Church of San Leopoldo. Interiors are eco-chic, inspired by the colors and senses of the natural setting surrounding the hotel.

  • 112 guestrooms and suites feel relaxing with soothing tones, ambient lighting, and views out from floor-to-ceiling windows
  • Sample delicious regional cuisine from the buffet from the main restaurant Dimorà, or stop by the Red Rabbit American Bar for a tasty cocktail, or experience our brand new Fine Dining Restaurant Eatè, directly on the beach, for a gourmet dinner
  • Sink your feet into the beautiful beaches surrounding the resort and enjoy vast views across the Tyrrhenian Sea to Elba Island
  • Relax at the heated outdoor pool
  • Head to Piombino for a ferry ride across the Tyrrhenian Sea and go sailing, scuba diving, and kite-surfing nearby
  • Drive just a few minutes to golf at two beautiful courses — the Punta Ala and the Pelagone Golf Club

When you are ready to explore the area, ask our Experience Manager for tips and suggested itineraries around the resort. The name of this Italian getaway was inspired by how all five senses are ignited by the hotel's setting and vantage point over the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Maremma.

A Memorable Family Experience at I Sense Resort in Tuscany

Sat Feb 01 2025 05:47:02 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) by Sadie E

A Memorable Family Experience at I Sense Resort in Tuscany Our week-long stay at I Sense Resort in Tuscany was a delightful experience! We celebrated my 40th birthday and our wedding day in this peaceful setting, which surpassed all our expectations. The resort offers a perfect blend of family-friendly and couple-oriented amenities, all within a luxurious and tranquil atmosphere. The hotel and pool are surrounded by a beautiful pine nut forest, creating a serene environment that makes you feel relaxed as soon as you arrive. Veronica, the front office leader, truly made our stay special. Her warm and attentive service helped us feel welcomed right from the start. She efficiently resolved a minor issue with our room and surprised us with an upgrade and lovely flowers for my birthday, which we appreciated more than words can say. I’m sure she would be happy to know how much her thoughtful gestures enhanced our experience. The food was excellent, and dining at the charming beachside restaurant was a highlight. It allowed us to enjoy our meals while taking in the beautiful views. The private beach was perfect for relaxing, and our kids had a wonderful time playing nearby. The peaceful atmosphere made it easy for all of us to unwind together. We also want to acknowledge Fredrique for his attentive service during our dinners. The entire staff at I Sense Resort went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic stay. We’re already looking forward to returning! Warm regards, Sadie and family

SIMPLY AMAZING!

Wow! Wow! Wow! Just got home from an incredible 4 night stay at this resort and it was just amazing! We flew into Florence airport and hired a car to then drive to this hotel. It was a really nice and easy drive. Hotel is absolutely amazing!! The staff upon welcome were so friendly and welcoming and made us immediately feel special! The hotel is spotless and very well maintained from the rooms to beach area to eating area Room was large spacious and the cleaning staff always did an incredible job at cleaning the room. Breakfast was lovely and lots of variety and really nice fresh coffee every morning. We didn’t have dinner at the hotel as we ventured into the local town and found that food a lot more practical and better value for money. Pool area was clean and the beach area was absolutely incredible one of the best I have experienced. Myself and my partner would most definitely return in the future. Thank you for an amazing holiday.

We relaxed from the moment we arrived. Everywhere was spotless and we were provided with all the facilities we could wish for. We also had a wonderful experience at the restaurant Eaté, within the hotel, where the food was exceptional. We thank everyone for their attention, welcome, effort and dedication!
