For three thousand years, sulphurous thermal water has risen from the earth at Saturnia at a constant 37.5°C, and the Romans already understood what it could do for a tired body. In the rolling hills of the Tuscan Maremma, Terme di Saturnia has built a resort around this extraordinary natural source, offering thermal pools, medically supervised wellness programmes and seasonal Tuscan cuisine for guests who arrive to let something older and slower than modern life take over for a while.

About
The water of Terme di Saturnia. The long underground journey of Saturnia’s water starts from the slopes of Mount Amiata. The water flows for 40 years along its underground course, slowly filtering through micro cracks in the rock, to re-emerge in the Natural Hot Spring at the center of the 5-star Resort. From the Resort, the water continues to flow through the Hot Spring Pools and then for a few kilometres through the meadows of Saturnia before reaching the iconic Waterfalls.
