One of Italy´s highlights and a MUST SEE are the Natural thermal baths in Tuscany.

Hot springs in Saturnia - a spa town in Italy. A natural waterfall coming out of the earth and flowing down all levels filling the natural cascade pools. The Saturnia hot springs in Tuscany are completely for free. There is no entrance fee neither parking fee.
Tuscany hot springs are 80 km from Rome, 200 km from Florence and 75 km from Orvieto.
Saturnia´s thermal baths are said to be the most beautiful hot springs in Italy. And we can´t agree more! But don´t let people fool you by calling them Italy´s best-kept secret! These hot springs are well-known and they are very popular.
To enjoy this place peacefully and privately, you need to come before 6 am. It´s not hard to understand why so many people come every day to visit Tuscany´s hot springs.
Bubbling waters rich in mineral deposits coming out through the Earth´s crust near volcano Mount Amiata. The Cascate del Mulino is made of several natural pools of warm thermal water. They are open to the public and free FREE to visit 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
Sulfur contained in the hot springs gives it sometimes quite strong "eggy" smell. Romans believed these waters are a gift of God and have a therapeutic effect.
Contains: sulphurous-carbonic, sulphate-bicarbonate-alkaline mineral water, and includes among its peculiarities the presence of two dissolved gases such as hydrogen sulphide and carbon dioxide.
The sulphur contained in the water can stain your jewellery. Especially silver will more likely turn black. But there is no need to be worry! You can easily fix it by rubbing toothpaste onto your jewellery.

Hotspring and spa hotels Tuscany
#100WaysOfTravel
The hotel is located in a remote area of Tuscany and has complete facilities. The hotel focuses on sulfur hot spring + golf. The SPA is very famous and is a favorite vacation place for foreigners. There are very good towns around, and there is no shortage of delicious food, so it is not recommended to dine in the hotel.
THE WATER OF THE SWIMMING POOL IN THE PICTURE COMES FROM SATURNIA HOT SPRINGS. The sun is setting, watching the sunset in the hot spring pool; the rising sun rises in the east, walking near the hotel, lost in nature. Looking into the distance, the vast fields can be seen at a glance. Looking up on the grassland, the blue sky covered with golden tuff in the morning is a quilt, letting your thoughts fly. •

Come to Cascate del Mulino for inner peace
Cascate del Mulino is a natural hot spring in the Tuscany region of Italy. The sulphur hot spring water flows down the stones in a terraced manner, forming unique hot water pools and small waterfalls.
♨Hot spring experience: You can come and go freely here in both winter and summer. The hot spring water is always stable at around 37°C, which is close to our skin temperature and very comfortable. The water is also rich in beneficial bio-minerals, which is a great natural Spa for the skin.
📷Photography check-in: Cascate del Mulino is not only comfortable for hot springs, but also looks good in photos~ The unique terraced structure from the air is a bright landscape in Italy's tourism industry. We also left precious memories with the camera, and every shot in this fairyland is very out of the picture.
🌳Picnic leisure: We saw many strange stones and trees, and some small animals jumping in the grass. We also saw some tourists picnicking by the river, or resting under the shade of the trees, enjoying the tranquility of nature.
Address: Loc. Cascate del Mulino, 58050 Saturnia, Manciano, Italy

Cascate del Mulino
Standing on the top of the mountain, overlooking this hot spring-style waterfall known as "Pamukkale, Italy". What's special about this warm waterfall is that it is naturally formed from limestone. The sulfur hot springs flow out from the ground like terraces, extending layer after layer. These deep and shallow small pools are filled with blue-green hot spring water from the waterfall flowing down from the upper layer, just like the gems guarded by dragon spirits in ancient Europe. They are just embedded in the mountain, bringing groups of tourists here, which is beautiful and mysterious. The spring water that constantly surges from the top of the mountain brings infinite vitality to this area. The water waves move with the wind, seeming to set off ripples in the hearts of travelers.

Many travel bloggers have checked in here, this town is really suitable as a rest stop in the self-driving journey, buffer here, soak in the hot spring to recharge, and then continue the journey~
🚙The Saturnia hot spring is about 170 kilometers away from the city of Rome, and it takes more than 2 hours to drive, so it is more convenient to drive by yourself. If you plan to go to Rome, you can also pick this point into your itinerary~

Murino Falls
The Murino Falls are located in Saturnia, Tuscany, Italy, and are a natural wonder that cannot be missed. The open-air hot springs here are open to the public free of charge all year round and are suitable for visiting in any season. Especially in the cold winter, jumping into the hot springs and feeling the therapeutic effects of the sulfur springs is one of the best ways to resist the cold. This not only enriches the health and natural life of the weekend outside the city, but also provides an unforgettable physical and mental enjoyment.
The waters of Saturnia contain thermal plankton, a precious biological treasure. It protects and repairs the skin from external influences and has important benefits for the digestive and circulatory systems. The free bathing here perfectly combines these unique natural features, making it one of those destinations that you must visit at least once in your lifetime.
