Good, but not 5 star.

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.

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.

The property itself is simply stunning!! It is very relaxing and a beautiful atmosphere. The service provided by every staff member was one of the best I have received in my many travels over the years. The resort is highly recommended. I would stay here again in a drop of a hat. It is located within 4 miles of the cute town of Follonica where you can find lots of shopping and dining options.

Amazing resort!! Get the half board it was great food experience for the price. You get treated as a vip all the time. Get the florentine steak it is great ! You get 4 course meals. Clean, air condition is great, quality is amazing . Gps or apple map or google do not give accurate location, so you end up waisting 20 minuted going in circles. Put their restaurant address in apple or google and you will reach the hotel . The restaurant’s name is Eatè by pipero

We had such a wonderful 3-night stay at the Sense Experience Resort! The room was very comfortable and clean and the sea view from the balcony was gorgeous. The private beach as well as all the other facilities (swimming pool, tennis court, bikes, watersports) made the experience so relaxing and fun, especially as it was all included and very convenient. Breakfast buffet also had a wide range of options and tasted great! Staff were always so kind and helpful. The hotel itself is also a short 20-min cycle away from the main town with lots of nice restaurants, and even more beaches.
