TUSCANY - BEST ITALY HOT SPRINGS
One of Italy´s highlights and a MUST SEE are the Natural thermal baths in Tuscany.
Imagine silky blue water heated by the nearby volcano with a temperature of 37,5 degrees. Add a breathtaking landscape typical for the Tuscany area and you get "Cascate del Mulino".
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.

Located 2.5 hrs away from Rome or 3.5 hrs away from Florence is a hidden gem so therapeutic that I could have easily stayed for hours. Cascate del Mulino is a beauty to behold! These natural hot springs stay at a comfortable temperature of 37.5 degrees Celcius (99.5 F). I did this as a day trip from Rome, leaving at 5am with my rental car. The goal was to actually leave at 4am for sunrise but I overslept 😣.⠀⠀ ⠀
Get here early to avoid the crowd. A lot of people make the mistake of calling this place "Terme di Saturnia" but that's actually the name of a nearby hotel about 4 mins away. If you come for sunrise, there's a good chance you'll have this place to yourself for an hour or so. If you come late morning to midday, these hot springs will start to look like a waterpark with all the people here. By the time I started recording this video, some people had already started getting in the pools but luckily I managed to snap photos without anyone in the springs.⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
On the left side of this abandoned house, you can easily climb up to the stream that's supplying the waterfall and swim around in the pools up there (highly recommend it!).⠀⠀ ⠀
Make sure to bring water shoes as there are a bunch of little pebbles in the water and of course a waterproof seal for your phone. There isn't anywhere to change but in or near your car in the car park. Your skin will be super dry afterward so have lotion handy with you. I was told after my visit that there are shower stalls nearby but I didn't notice any when I was there.⠀⠀ ⠀
The best part is that Cascate del Mulino is completely FREE and open 24 hours a day!!

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.

🚙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~
