The Journey
Saturnia Thermal Baths and Poggio Murella
Ascend to Poggio Murella, a quaint Tuscan village perched high above the legendary Saturnia Thermal Baths. Here, an ancient Roman water cistern whispers tales of the past, offering not just a historical glimpse but also unparalleled panoramic views. Imagine gazing across a landscape that stretches from rolling mountains to the distant shimmer of the Tyrrhenian Sea. This vantage point is a reward in itself, a breathtaking panorama showcasing Tuscany's diverse beauty, enhanced by the historical significance of the Roman ruins.
Cascate del Mulino and Castellum Aquarum
Discover the Cascate del Mulino, where warm, sulfurous waters cascade over travertine rocks, creating a natural spa experience like no other. These free thermal waterfalls, maintained by nature, are a true Tuscan treasure. Adjacent to the falls lies the Castellum Aquarum, an ancient Roman cistern that served as an integral part of the Roman water system. Immerse yourself in the 37° Celsius waters, letting the therapeutic warmth soothe your body and rejuvenate your spirit. This is more than a bath; it's an immersion in history and nature's embrace.
