Terme di Saturnia, a day of relaxation starting from Borgo Etrusco
The Baths of Saturnia
The Terme di Saturnia are among the most fascinating spa destinations in Italy. Located in the heart of the Tuscan Maremma, in the municipality of Manciano (province of Grosseto), they are about 90 km from Borgo Etrusco. This complex is famous for its sulphurous waters, which flow naturally at 37.5 °C, and for the pristine landscape that surrounds them.
A legendary origin
According to legend, it was the god Saturn who created the hot springs. Enraged by the constant wars between men, he hurled a thunderbolt at the earth: warm, pacifying waters began to gush out from that rift, transforming the place into a haven of peace and well-being.
Natural benefits
In fact, the waters of Saturnia are of volcanic origin and rich in minerals such as sulfur, bicarbonate, sulfates, and calcium. Because of these properties, they are suitable for alleviating dermatological, respiratory and muscular problems. In addition, the constant temperature promotes relaxation and reduces stress.
The Mill Falls
Among the main attractions are the Mill Falls: natural pools carved out of travertine, where thermal water flows uninterruptedly, forming scenic waterfalls. Completely free and accessible year-round, they represent a perfect blend of wellness and nature.
In conclusion
Visiting the Terme di Saturnia means treating yourself to a rejuvenating experience for body and mind, immersed in the wild beauty of the Maremma. Whether you choose a spa or the Cascate del Mulino waterfalls, relaxation is guaranteed.
