Bagni San Filippo – A thermal paradise of steam and silence Just a short drive from La Scottiglia, hidden deep in the woods, lies Bagni San Filippo — a timeless place where nature sculpts beauty out of water and stone. Here, steaming thermal waters flow freely through white limestone rocks and mossy paths, forming surreal landscapes like the iconic “Balena Bianca” (White Whale), a majestic natural formation shaped by centuries of mineral deposits. The water, rich in beneficial minerals, flows at over 40°C — perfect for relaxing muscles, purifying skin, and restoring inner calm. Access is free and open, and a short forest trail leads to warm natural pools in a truly unique setting. 🧖♀️ Tip: bring a towel, flip-flops, and drinking water. The best seasons? Spring and autumn, when the mist rises into the cool air and nature feels magical. Bagni San Filippo is a secret worth discovering slowly. A place where warm water speaks softly, and time seems to pause.
Bagno Vignoni – The steaming square, the village that soothes In the heart of Val d’Orcia lies a truly unique place where thermal water doesn’t hide in spas — it flows right through the main square: this is Bagno Vignoni, a tiny village full of charm. Here, the central piazza is a large Renaissance-era thermal pool, steaming gently between stone buildings and quiet arcades. All around, cafés, artisan shops and panoramic views create an atmosphere of peace and timelessness. The warm waters of Bagno Vignoni were loved by the Etruscans and by Saint Catherine of Siena. Today, visitors can enjoy modern wellness centres, or walk the scenic Parco dei Mulini — a path that follows the flow of water through natural pools and ancient mill ruins. ✨ Perfect for: a romantic escape, a historical walk, or a moment of pure relaxation. Bagno Vignoni is beauty in motion. A peaceful pause between stone, steam and silence.
Saturnia – Legendary thermal springs in the heart of the Maremma In the wild Tuscan countryside, surrounded by rolling hills and vineyards, lies Saturnia — one of Italy’s most iconic thermal destinations. Here, hot water flows from the earth at 37°C, creating the stunning Cascate del Mulino: natural travertine pools where the water steams, flows and embraces every visitor. Legend has it that the gods themselves created these springs, striking the ground with a lightning bolt to calm their disputes — and from that spot, a fountain of peace and wellness was born. The sulphur-rich waters are known for their soothing, purifying and therapeutic properties. Access to the waterfalls is free and open year-round, day and night — offering a raw, immersive experience of nature’s healing power. For those seeking extra comfort, nearby wellness resorts offer spa treatments, pools and full thermal experiences. 🧖♀️ Tip: visit at dawn or sunset, when the light softens the scene and the magic becomes unforgettable. Saturnia is liquid energy. A warm embrace from nature — to be lived slowly, with all the senses.

Walking through the ancient village, you’ll feel a timeless charm: discreet elegance, warm hospitality, and a slow rhythm that restores the spirit. ✨ Perfect for: a relaxing weekend, a romantic getaway, or a day of pure wellness.
