The Hotel Helvetia Thermal SPA is an upscale 48-room hotel set in an elegant and classical villa-style property in the center of Porretta Terme. Its spa facilities are particularly outstanding with a wide range of water- and steam-based therapies and treatments on offer -- though these can be a little pricey. Rooms are adequate with lovely views and modern bathrooms, but feel a touch spare, from the tile floors to the patterned bedspreads. This is certainly one of the more expensive hotels in town (due to its superb spa); for a cheaper option check out Hotel Santoli on the edge of town where rates are less than half the price. 

The 48-room Hotel Santoli is a mid-range, family-run property dating back to 1973 set on the outskirts of the Italian spa town of Porretta Terme. While its 1970s-style interiors feel dated and retro in about equal measures, the hotel has impressive modern spa facilities and direct access to the thermal baths next door. Rooms too feel a little old-fashioned, however balconies have lovely views of the picturesque surrounds. Rates are surprisingly affordable, but for somewhere a little more ritzy check out the Hotel Helvetia Thermal Spa in the town center.
