We enjoyed these natural hot springs and were amazed that they were truly free!

There was a large paid parking lot down the street just a few mins walk from the pools. We parked here and hiked our beach bag in with us. You can get a locker for about 5 euros so we did that after changing so we could have free range of the pools. Theres also free bathrooms and a locker/showrt room. There is also a spot here to buy snacks and drinks if you want, or you could bring your own. The pools were impressive with a gorgeous cascade of natural pools of various sizes. The water cascades into the river below, and there were locals and tourists both enjoying the pools and relaxing with snacks on the riverside. The water was a good temperature, not too hot for a hot Italian summer day but also not at all cold. The sulfur smell was also not overwhelming. They are very rocky though and watershoes would be a good idea. Also important to note that these are a natural feature, so they aren't treated with chemicals or anything. There are lots of people mingling in them. There are also insects and whatnot that live in and around them, so be prepared for buggies. When we were there, some larvae must have just hatched cause there were squirmy red worms everywhere my finicky husband didn't love.

Views are amazing, water is crystal clear and it's a very relaxing atmosphere. This was quite the…read moredrive as it is in the middle of nowhere in the countryside. Worth going to see! Thermal waters are free and open all year round. Large parking lot is also free. There is also a casual restaurant on site if you are hungry but I didn't grab any food. There is a bathroom and showers but you need coins for the showers and the 2 bathrooms don't have toilet paper and are pretty gross so be prepared. Suggestions: Go at sunrise or sunset for views but it is also less crowded at those times. Bring towels, bathing suit, water and snacks.

The Mother of all the hotsprings!!! Went in the morning around 7AM on 1/28/2022. No one was…read morethere. We had the place to ourselves. This place is beyond beautiful. There is a large parking lot about a 2 blocks away (5 minute walk). Open 24/7 but must pay starting at 8am. 2€ per hour. Went there twice in the same day. Came back around 10AM and there were 2-3 people there. This place is FREE. The outdoor snack bar was not opened. We came dressed to get into the water, ah perfect temperature. So have no idea what the dressing room was like nor did we use the bathroom. Oh and bring water shoes. This place is about 3 hours south of Florence, a very nice drive through Tuscany. I will return to Saturnia soon. If I lived here, I would frequent this place 2-3 times weekly.

The service is impeccable, the rooms cozy and the grounds and the view are amazing! I ended up renting a car and driving in from Firenze, which was not only a great option but an easy drive through the many vineyards in Tuscany. Upon arrival I was greeted by valets ready to help you with your car and help you unload your luggage. Upon entering, you're greeted by a beautiful restored castle with many pathways, that are intriguing. My room was nice, we had a small living room with a great view of the rolling knolls. I felt warped back in time. The upgrades give this place a nice touch of elegance and charm that made me feel right at home. The thermal waters that flow through their pools are both healing and relaxing. The staff is readily available to take ANY request. I honestly felt like royalty here. We ate breakfast, lunch and dinner here. My only gripe is with myself, I wish I was more adventurous with their food. I have to admit, as an American, I'm used to large portions and feeling stuffed afterwards. I did not feel that here, in fact, the food was just enough and their wine and cocktails options were on par with my expectations. Come here to relax, come here to indulge in great service and delicious food. Come here because you need to get away from the city. You will not be disappointed.
