The thermal complexes of the Terme di Saturnia
The expression «Terme di Saturnia» contains three different complexes that allow you to live the experience in different ways: the exclusive pool, the thermal park and the free spa.
Those who love exclusivity can choose to stay and immerse themselves in the thermal waters of the natural swimming pool of thehotel located at the Terme di Saturnia. Between wellness treatments and massages you can find everything you need.

The Terme di Saturnia are open for free to all travelers who love the most authentic experiences through the Mill Falls. The natural thermal pools overlooked by an ancient stone mill are suggestive.
Every solution offered by the Terme di Saturnia has different prices, ranging from hotel packages to the free pools of the Cascate del Mulino.
The properties of thermal waters
The thermal waters arrive in the pools of the Terme di Saturnia through an underground path that starts from Mount Amiata and re-emerges at the Terme di Saturnia and that enriches them with precious minerals.
The water gushes out and reciprocates the pools several times a day, maintaining a temperature that never goes away from 37.5 degrees Celsius.
The complex of minerals and constant temperature make the thermal waters beneficial: open the pores of the skin; dilate the blood vessels favoring blood circulation and lowering blood pressure; treat inflammation at the joint and muscle level; improve breathing; relieve tension.
