Terme di Saturnia, Public thermal baths in Manciano, Italy.
Terme di Saturnia is a thermal bath complex in Tuscany fed by natural hot springs that continuously flow from underground and create waterfalls and pools. The facility offers outdoor pools, spa treatments, sauna facilities, and an 18-hole golf course for visitors.
The thermal springs were used by Etruscans and Romans who valued them for their healing properties. Over the centuries, the baths developed into a well-known destination for health and rest in the region.
The site takes its name from the Roman god Saturn and has drawn visitors for thousands of years seeking the healing properties of its mineral-rich waters. Today, people come to bathe in the warm pools and experience the therapeutic benefits of the natural minerals.
The facility is open daily and offers outdoor pools that can be visited throughout the year. Visitors should bring gloves or purchase them on-site, as the mineral-rich water can irritate the skin.
The water develops a thin, creamy layer at the top that retains heat, surprising many bathers with an unusual warmth sensation. This natural temperature gradation forms as the spring water cools gradually while flowing across the pools.
