We enjoyed our time at the hot springs in Saturnia in southern Tuscany last year so we went back and stayed a bit longer.
We stayed again at Le Cascatelle, the excellent B&B close to the springs. We would stay there for the breakfast alone. http://lecascatelle.it
Spring is late arriving this year and the days have been quite cold. The water gushes out of the hillside at 37 degrees, so once you get into the pools all is fine.
Our first visit to the springs was late afternoon. It was a week day, so it wasn’t too crowded.
We went back early in the morning and had the place almost to ourselves.
If you position yourself under the running water you get an excellent massage.
We were back in the afternoon for another warm bath.
Last year we spotted some interesting hilltop towns on the way to Saturnia so we decided to stay a bit longer to explore them. This met with mixed success…more to come.
