"A Soak in History The Maremma region of southern Tuscany, about an hour south of Siena, is an area of olive groves, wooded valleys, and ancient legends. One such tale, dating from the days of the Etruscans and Romans, chronicles an epic battle in which Jupiter threw lightning bolts at Saturn—and missed. As the story goes, when the bolts landed on the ground, they formed the bubbling hot springs now known as the Terme di Saturnia. Full of therapeutic minerals, the hot springs feed a variety of pools throughout the valley that have warmed and healed centuries of bathers. Today, you can soak up the goodness at the luxury Terme di Saturnia Hotel & Spa, which offers therapies performed with the waters, or at a free public bathing spot. To find the main one, head down a dirt path just outside of town, past a parking lot and changing area, until you spy a waterfall feeding a series of natural pools, each turned white by the mineral-rich water."

We visited the day spa in mid April. We were so much looking forward to it but got so disappointed. The whole facility is cold. The thermal pool is not warm enough when it’s 15 outside, the sauna is only 50C and the indoor space is cold. The food in the bistro must be the opposite of Tuscan gourmet, it was actually disgusting, like a bad school cantine, over cooked pasta and no taste. And you had to eat in your wet bathrobe in the cold. The place is very worn down and mold in the showers. In the men’s shower the light wasn’t working, it was dark and slippery, almost like a scene from a scary movie. The owners should visit the blue lagoon on Iceland, Vabali in Germany or Yasuragi in Stockholm to learn what a spa should be. Go to the free outdoor one instead.

We have booked the entrance with sunbeds online and upon arrival the staff told us they don’t have the availability for sunbeds. Very disappointing. The bistrot is just a bar with only piadine and sandwiches to eat (dry and poor), the Greek yogurt was good though. The white dress code is not that obvious, because it’s seems more like a suggestion. If you want the people to wear only the WHITE outfit here — include it in the price and there will be no questions asked. Or make a warning on the website that is visible, I don’t have to search the whole website to find this rule. The whole atmosphere in the place was rude and angry. I’ve expected a nice and relaxed day, I got angry people and no sunbeds🔥👍🏼 To be fare I must say that we were offered a free cup of mud (face mask). Also it’s confusing the pictures on the website. It seems there are the natural pools, but it’s actually another location. It was not necessary to come here at all. The pools that are advertised everywhere are free of charge and are located nearby. The place is understaffed and the queue in bistrot was endless.

### WARNING ### Today I arrived at 10:30 for a day pass to the pools. Before driving 120kms I looked up the tariffs for entrance and rental of towels and gown as well as 2 sunbeds. The advertised price in the latest pdf. Says midweek €29 entrance. I was charged €39, when I questioned this I was told that they have decided that till the 4th of May every day is considered weekend. This is not posted either on the website or on the premises that I have seen. As I had traveled so far I decided to enter anyway. But I find this appauling. I have stayed at the hotel previously but this has really put me off as it is clearly untoward.

The water is very cold. Tuscany has some of the absolute best hot springs I’ve been to, but I can tell you, regrettably, that these aren’t one of them. I found the general cleanliness of the pools to be quite lacking, and the water temperature is the lowest of the 10+ hot springs I’ve been to in Tuscany. This is a real shame because this place could be much better. It’s got the potential to be n1, but has a long way to get there. Without doing much research, the owners should simply see what the competition has to offer to improve Terme di Saturnia. Some general things the staff should provide: - indication that there are only outdoor pools - soap, shampoo and conditioner should be provided in the shower rooms - towels for showering (they’ll give you one for the sun loungers, a robe for walking outside, but what are customers supposed to use to shower? you can’t ask people to buy 3 separate towels). - food selection: very poor, almost non existent vegetarian and gluten free options at the café near the pools - tea, water or infusions should be provided for free (see competitors) Only positive is the price (€14 if you are a resident is rather competitive). But as they say… you get what you pay.

My husband and I were disappointed with our experience here. The website is a false representation & shows it to be upmarket and much nicer but in reality the pools didn’t feel well maintained & some were very dirty. Way over priced for the experience. We were in the sauna & were told to leave due to a “ritual” that you had to pay to attend. Why is this not included in the high price? Very strange. The free public baths 5 minutes away are much nicer!! For some reason the photo of the free ones are used here and it’s incorrect.

Great thermal station offering diverse services and great facilities. There is a parking available which is really accommodating. You can rent a towel and robe. Everything is clean and you can enjoy different types of pools (even a sauna). To eat, there is either a cafeteria or bistrots offering ice creams, cold drinks, sandwiches and snacks. The place is very spacious and there are lots of sunbeds both in shade and in sunny areas to tan. We recommend coming as early as possible since it gets crowded in the afternoon.

This is not for kids imo. There are very limited pools for kids to go in. My youngest was so mad she wasn’t allowed in the ones she wanted to go in . I would say this is more for adults. And we saw worms 🪱 in one of the pools … they said the worms were normal… but they honestly look really gross … The place looks like it has never been updated Like the tiles and stones look chipped and old and slimy like they don’t ever clean the place really. Maybe for some this is part of the charm but for us it felt really dirty. I have been to way nicer thermal places that have left me feeling relaxed and clean. This place sadly did not .

Do not come here. It is out of the way and not worth the time. It is about 30 Euro per person including towel and robe rental (required as part of a strict dress code? Unenforced). They let me order a sandwich they were out of and I had to take the receipt to the sandwich bar separate from the register. Service culture zero. But, sure. It's fed by a hot spring.

This was fun. We drive about 40 minutes from Montepulciano to this great hot springs. It was clean. Well run, perfectly relaxing and a great little rest auto boot. We had a lot of fun and will certainly return if in the neighborhood. A wonderful relaxing afternoon.

We enjoyed these natural hot springs and were amazed that they were truly free! It was a little out of our way traveling between Florence and Rome, but we were really glad we added it to our itinerary. There was a large paid parking lot down the street just a few mins walk from the pools. We parked here and hiked our beach bag in with us. You can get a locker for about 5 euros so we did that after changing so we could have free range of the pools. Theres also free bathrooms and a locker/showrt room. There is also a spot here to buy snacks and drinks if you want, or you could bring your own. The pools were impressive with a gorgeous cascade of natural pools of various sizes. The water cascades into the river below, and there were locals and tourists both enjoying the pools and relaxing with snacks on the riverside. The water was a good temperature, not too hot for a hot Italian summer day but also not at all cold. The sulfur smell was also not overwhelming. They are very rocky though and watershoes would be a good idea. Also important to note that these are a natural feature, so they aren't treated with chemicals or anything. There are lots of people mingling in them. There are also insects and whatnot that live in and around them, so be prepared for buggies. When we were there, some larvae must have just hatched cause there were squirmy red worms everywhere my finicky husband didn't love.

Die Quellen von Saturnia in der Toskana waren unglaublich entspannend. Das warme (37.5grad) mineralreiche Wasser und die malerische Umgebung boten mir pure Erholung. Ein perfekter Ort, um abzuschalten und die Natur zu genießen.

This was unbelievable! It was absolutely breathtaking and a sight everyone should experience! The falls were the perfect temperature and beautiful at sunset overlooking the golden fields. The evening is the best time to go because everyone seems to go to the falls during the day.

I've only been here a day, and I already feel like a princess. If I could give them 6 stars I would. Best service I've ever received in my life. Super helpful, and straightforward. They handle questions and concerns very quickly. I just had dinner at their restaurant and it was literally the best service and meal of my life. Complimentary procecco?! Yes please!!! The servers were like nothing I've experienced, and only $45 euro for a three course meal!!! The hot springs were very soothing today, and I enjoyed relaxing by the springs. More to come I bet!!! The only thing is it's not a "young person" place. I'm an old soul so I like it!! I heard two different musicians today. Also I got a package for buy two nights get one free. And breakfast included!!

We spent a lovely afternoon relaxing here after flying in from Chicago. We drove straight from the airport in Rome to the spa and were not disappointed. We had salads at the cafe outside and relaxed in the pools. We had the spa experience including 2 chairs, umbrella, robe, and towels with access to the spa portion of the pools. My husband and I were happy that we chose this route as it was less crowded then the thermal park and much more relaxing. We were there on a Saturday so the thermal park was quite busy and noisy. The locker room was clean and had all the amenities you would need. PS-the free one down the road is great to see but super crowded! Not relaxing at all! We wanted to see what it looked like after seeing pictures online so we checked it out when we were done at Terme Di Saturnia.

This place really stinks - but in a good way! People have been bathing in these sulphur springs since Etruscan times. The water does amazing things for the skin. Its best to leave the residue on for a bit after bathing here for extra benefit. The temperature is exactly body temperature and the cascades are very pretty. Its free, too. Be careful in the pool as they are slippery and have some sharp rocks. Stay at least an hour in the water for best benefit to the skin. There is parking nearby.

We loved the public cascades of warm soothing water and spent several delightful hours there. We decided to pass on the terme at the golf and hotel because of the reviews being over priced and not very clean and we did not regret our decision. Go for it!
