All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Though the property we booked at Expedia was not what we expected as the description was unclear and Four adults could not stay in the bungalow suite the property gave us another room at no expense
Their goal is to make you happy with your stay
Gorgeous location and beautifully maintained site. Fabulous beach and pool. Staff consistently polite and friendly. Spotlessly clean. Great cocktail bar but limited dining options - all very classy but expensive and a bit formal.
la struttura è molto bella, sono tutti gentilissimi si vive una bellissima sensazione di libertà in un ambiente cinque stelle. Tutto stupendo, lo consiglio. La zona bar ristorante affacciata sul mare è un sogno, il tramonto stupendo, bravi!

Vasat bir hotel
Çalışanların hem sayısı hem de tecrübesi yetersiz. Ayrıca Check-in ve check-out sırasında çok bekledim.
Cute and intimate eco-resort in Tuscany. Great food, cute cabanas with service at the beach and room-service was good too. Great staff. We enjoyed our stay but didn’t find much around outside the resort.
What can I say!!!! Best hotel, Amazing service from check in staff who are amazing and welcoming. They are super helpful and friendly.
The manager was amazing, so helpful and accommodating . She helps , and pay attention to little details to make your time great and always with a smile .
Restaurant staff were amazing and attentive.
Management is superb , and waiters are very highly trained to make guests feel special.
Egor was great in particular as he is fast , attentive, and super friendly.
We have been coming here for the 4 th time now as it is great and upscaled.
It is part of the i prefer hotels .
Only my gps keeps taking me to a different location thinking we arrived, but the street is closed.
Restaurants, breakfast, dinner, lunch all had great selections.
They even arranged couple massages for us on the panoramic terrace.
Over all it is 10 out of 10.
Really enjoyed a 5 night stay at the Sense Resort. It's a little further South than the normal, iconic Tuscan coast resorts which is why we chose to stay. However, that does mean that it's a little further away from the main tourist spots and the Follonica lacks the choice of retail, restaurants and entertainment of other well known resorts.
The hotel is nice, although I'd say it's more 4 than 5 star with some thought and investment needed to bring it up to a true five star standard.
The good: The beach is sandy, clean and there's an allocation system for cabanas and deck chairs - so absolutely no fighting for space! The restaurant staff are amazing. How they cope in the heat with trousers, shirts and ties is beyond me. The rooms are good standard and clean, although the bathroom doesn't have an extractor fan - so it gets very hot with the shower on.
The "could be better". Some staff are not nearly as good as the restaurant team - particularly the bellhops and reception. The carpet covering the corridor of the room blocks is old, worn and smells really bad. We actually had to hold our breath from the lift to our room the smell was so bad. Nowhere really to lounge with a coffee or cocktail - seems a really big miss for a hotel aspiring to 5 star. The pool is stuck at the end of the car park, nowhere near the beach or other amenities. Finally, although the standard of food is generally good, choice is limited, no cocktail menu and it's expensive.
Wunderschöner Strand und sehr sauberes, Zimmer. Das Frühstück war sehr lecker. Das Personal war durchgehend freundlich. Leider gab es kein Gym, was ich bei einem 5-Sterne Hotel erwartet hätte. Das Preis leistungs Verhältnis für Getränke am Strand oder das Essen im Hotel Reataurant ist leider nicht gerechtfertigt.
Eco-resort in Follonica, private intimate beach with cabanas and bar/food service on the beach. Great restaurant if you’re a foodie ( Eaté). Family-friendly, playground and beach toys/activities. Quiet at night with pleasant live music entertainment ( not too loud) ending at 10pm. Decent suite with bath and shower, comfortable beds, big closet and good coffee machine. Great breakfast included in the stay. Would absolutely stay here again.
