Terme di Saturnia – Regeneration And Relaxation Made In Italy
According to legend, we owe the Terme di Saturnia to the god Saturn who, frustrated by the constant wars between humans, hurled a bolt of lightning at the Tuscan Maremma. To this day, hot sulphurous water gushes out of the resulting crater, which is known for its healing properties for mind and body.
The Terme di Saturnia is a place of magical energy for all those in search of psycho-physical balance, harmony between body and mind, health and beauty. The natural Terme Saturnia is located in the medieval town of the same name, about 100 km south of Florence in the Tuscan Maremma. It can be reached by car from Rome Fiumicino airport in around two hours and from Florence airport in three hours.
Cascate del Mulino: waterfalls over rock pools
The Romans already appreciated the healing power of the warm, sulphurous water and built the “bagno secco” here, the ruins of which can still be visited today. For over three thousand years, the bubbling springs were a place of healing for popes and peasants, centurions and soldiers, nobles and craftsmen – in the water, they were and are all the same.
The Cascate del Mulino are indeed a breathtaking sight. These are waterfalls whose water flows over rocks from the Saturnia springs. The water temperature is 37.5 °C all year round, so you can bathe in them even in winter. A visit to the thermal fields is free of charge and they are accessible around the clock. However, you should be aware that the water from the thermal springs contains sulphur and leaves an unpleasant smell on the skin. There are no publicly accessible showers near the Cascate. You should therefore have a home nearby.

To travel during my profession as a beauty journalist was never enough for my. Also my six month on a world trip didn’t do it.

But I am not only interested in “culture” and “cream”, I am also fascinated by people who have stories to tell . Such unique experiences I want to share with you.
