Key Attractions and What to Expect

Cascate del Mulino: The Heart of the Springs

Cascate del Mulino is a completely free natural hot spring, one of the most popular spots in the region. The water consistently maintains a temperature of 37.5°C year-round, offering a soothing experience even in the cooler months. The mineral-rich water flows from the source at the nearby Terme di Saturnia® and cascades into several tiered pools formed by travertine rock. These pools provide a peaceful soak with numerous health benefits for the skin, respiratory system, and joints.

Unique Features

  • Sulfuric Waters: The sulfur-laden waters are renowned for their therapeutic properties, helping with skin conditions, respiratory issues, and digestive problems.
  • Free Entry: Open to the public at no cost, the springs are accessible 24/7, although there are no lifeguards or attendants on duty.
  • Night Bathing: For an unforgettable experience, visit the pools at night. Bathing under the stars in a tranquil setting, free from daytime crowds, is highly recommended.

What Not to Miss

  • Nearby Attractions: After enjoying the springs, explore nearby towns like Montemerano, a charming medieval village, or Pitigliano, known as “Little Jerusalem” for its rich historical and cultural heritage.
  • Terme di Saturnia Resort: For those seeking a more luxurious experience, the Terme di Saturnia Spa & Golf Resort offers a range of thermal pools, saunas, and spa treatments for a fee. Day passes start at €27.
  • Night Bathing: Be sure to experience the springs at night, when the atmosphere is quiet and the natural surroundings take on a magical quality.

Practical Tips for Visiting

What to Bring

  • Water Shoes: The rocky terrain around and inside the pools can be slippery and sharp. Water shoes will protect your feet and improve your footing.
  • Towels and Bathrobes: Although there are showers available, they are token-operated (€1 for 2 minutes). Lockers are available for €5 per use, so be sure to bring enough towels and perhaps a bathrobe if you plan to stay for an extended period.
  • Food and Water: While a small café is available on-site, it’s wise to bring your own snacks and water. The café serves simple meals and refreshments at reasonable prices.

Best Times to Visit

The springs can become quite busy on weekends and holidays, especially in the afternoon. To avoid the crowds, aim to visit early in the morning or later in the evening. Early mornings are perfect for those seeking solitude, while nighttime offers a serene, peaceful experience under the stars.
