This famous area in Saturnia is one of the most photographed spots in Italy, with its stunning, aquamarine-coloured thermal pools spanning the beautiful hillside.

Saturnia Hot Springs, known in Italian as Terme di Saturnia or Cascate del Mulino, is one of the amazing wonders of the Tuscan countryside. Naturally warm water cascades into travertine stone pools, creating a perfect atmosphere for visitors to wonder at the beauty of nature and relax. Getting there can be tricky and there are a few other things you’ll need to know.

The springs are free to enter.  Saturnia is a free, natural hot spring open to the public.

Watch a series of waterfalls rush into pools etched into the travertine rock, which creates a natural spa where the water is warm—about 37°C. The view is serene and on a cool night, you can see steam rising, adding a mystical ambience.

Head over to the adjacent spa, Terme di Saturnia, if you’re looking for a more personalized wellness experience. They offer massages, nourishing facials and skin treatments using organic, local ingredients like bioplankton of Saturnia.
