Hot Springs in Tuscany: The Best Thermal Spas and Baths

Imagine soaking in a thermal pool surrounded by rolling hills, lush forests, and the towering peaks of Monte Amiata. Located in the heart of Maremma, Southern Tuscany, the Terme di Saturnia Spa & Golf Resort is one of the most famous hotels in Italy, having gained national recognition and picked up numerous awards.

There are 54 treatment rooms with professional therapists available to support you, offering personalised treatment options based on your needs.

Built over a volcanic crater, the spring water that fills the resort's heart has journeyed through the depths of Monte Amiata, carrying with it the mineral-rich benefits from the earth.

Steeped in a rich history that dates back to the Etruscan and Roman eras, the Terme Bagni di Pisa is an ancient spa. The Grand Duke of Tuscany, Francesco Stefano Lorena, made this his summer spa residence hence it gained great popularity.

The residence soon became a popular destination for hosting social gatherings, with a long list of prominent guests enjoying its thermal benefits, including George IV of England, Gustaf of Sweden, Carlo Goldoni and Vittorio Alfieri. Today visitors can immerse themselves in a day of relaxation, enjoy a massage or indulge in a wide array of spa treatments.

Bagno Vignoni is a small and charming town nestled in the hillside near the gorgeous Val D’Orcia, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The town was once a summer residence of Pope Pius II Piccolomini, and the spa was built in a 5th-century palace designed by Rossellino.

The main square is filled with a large thermal bath fed by hot springs that are 49 degrees Celsius, filling the air with an inviting warmth, even on the coldest of days. Visitors can enjoy a variety of treatments, including massages, mud baths, and facials.

Bagni San Filippo, a stunning outdoor sulphur spring tucked away in the province of Siena, is a sight to behold. The place is stunning, and you will be amazed by the white limestone deposits, which have created impressive rock formations and cascades over the millennia.

The water temperature is approximately 25 degrees Celsius, making it a perfect place to relax and soak away your cares.

When to Visit Bagni San Filippo:
The best time to visit Bagni San Filippo is during the off-season, as we feel it gets too crowded during the summer months. If you are planning on visiting during the high season, we recommend avoiding the weekends and visiting during the morning or evening hours.

Tucked away near Livorno in Val di Cornia, Sassetta is a small hamlet that may not boast the widespread renown of some of the other springs on our list, but that only adds to its charm.

This area, celebrated for its thermal springs since Etruscan and Roman times, houses the Terme di Sassetta, possibly identifiable as the Bagno del Re from 13th-century documents.

The thermal waters at Terme di Sassetta are uniquely rich in sulphates, calcium, and trace minerals. With a source temperature of 51°C, these waters have been harnessed for centuries to alleviate respiratory ailments, skin conditions, and musculoskeletal diseases.

Mirroring the architectural beauty of Etruscan Roman baths, the thermal complex is a modern tribute to ancient wellness traditions. It houses three balneotherapy pools—two outdoor and one indoor—along with a sweat chamber, showers enhanced with chromotherapy and aromatherapy, a Kneipp path, and a relaxation area.

At Salogi, we highly recommend the massages at Terme di Sassetta, complemented by the ambient tranquillity, are notably exceptional.
