The three-story, estate-style Hotel Alexander Palme lies on a hill within the center of southern Tuscany's town of Chianciano. An easy five-minute walk down to the town square (though there’s a slightly steep incline on the way back) makes it an ideal base for those who want to be in the middle of the area's restaurants, bars, and shops. Families may want a more kid-friendly hotel as Alexander Palme -- with plenty of garden seating and its proximity to spas -- will be better enjoyed by couples. The cuisine and overall level of service have received mix reviews, so guests may want to check out other hotels in the area before booking.

The 20-room, budget Hotel Perugina is a family-run inn in the spa village of Chianciano, which offers few frills but tons of personal attention, and serves as an excellent base for exploring Tuscany. Built in the '60s, but renovated in recent years, rooms and public areas are basic. Special touches, however, like the free buffet breakfast and discounts at Ristorante Patri, a superb restaurant under the same ownership, give the Perugina a homey feel. The hotel is a standout value in Chianciano.

While Chianciano Terme may be a struggling spa town, wellness center focused hotels like Grand Hotel Admiral Palace attempt to keep tourism alive. Its quiet park location is within walking distance to the town center. On-site spa facilities like an emotional shower, heated pool, small fitness center, and body treatments are available for a daily fee as are kid-friendly services. Even with free Wi-Fi and meeting rooms, you won't find many business guests here. There have been some complaints of cleanliness in the rooms and disappointment over the hotel's slightly rundown appearance -- a common problem with lodgings in the area -- but comparatively, it is one of the better upper-mid-range spots in Chianciano Terme.

Located in the square of a once flourishing spa town, the upscale, 50-room Grand Hotel Terme has probably seen better days. A decline in the area's tourism has led to the closing of quite a few local hotels -- many of which still stand within the town square next to Hotel Terme. The property may be in a central location for exploring Chianciano and other Tuscan towns, but it mainly caters to those looking to partake of its extensive wellness center. However, if you aren't interested in soaking in the spa or sweating it out in the sauna, it may be wise to shop around as there have been some complaints of cleanliness in both common areas and rooms.
