Sink into sulfurous hot springs, which the ancient Romans and Etruscans believed were created by lightning bolts thrown by the sky god, Jupiter.

Terme di Saturnia is a collection of hot springs within an ancient village in the enchanting Maremma countryside. Experience the soothing remedial effects of the sulfurous springs when you visit this natural spa. Recline in steaming-hot waterfalls or play in the simmering water terraces. Find out how the Terme di Saturnia was given its name as you explore archaeological ruins and historic sites.

The beautiful valley is characterized by rolling hills, woodlands and ancient archaeological ruins. Its simmering undercurrent of thermal water is fed by springs that stretch from Mount Amiata and the hills surrounding the Fiora and Albegna rivers to Roselle and Talamone. Explore the picturesque region and learn about its role in ancient mythology. According to the ancient Etruscans and Romans, the springs were formed when Jupiter quarreled with his rival, Saturn. The sky god threw lightning bolts at the leader of the Titans, but missed. The lightning bolts landing on the Maremma countryside caused the Earth to split and water to bubble up.

Choose from a collection of pools and spas, which are heated by thermal springs to a temperature of 99.5 F (37.5 C). The water’s minerals include sulfur, calcium bicarbonate and alkaline, which give it a remedial quality.

The Terme di Saturnia is renowned for its curative qualities for respiratory and muscular problems, as well as skin rejuvenation. You’ll find gentle whirlpools and steaming waterfalls, which provide a soothing massage treatment. Relax in the terraced pools and look out across the pretty woodland that frames the springs. Check out the Gorello Waterfalls or the Cascate del Mulino.

If you feel like indulging, consider having one of the Terme di Saturnia resort’s range of spa treatments. Enjoy a remedial massage or a mud mask. Grab a bite to eat from a resort restaurant or book a night in one of the deluxe rooms. You can play golf or join fitness classes.

Terme di Saturnia is located in Manciano in the Grosseto region of Tuscany. Choose from a range of resorts in the region. The Cascate del Mulino is open 24 hours a day for free, while the Terme di Saturnia Spa & Golf Resort has an entry price.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (191 reviews)

Very nice hotel in quiet (relatively) San Croce. Very walkable to everything. Clean rooms w views. Great breakfast and service. Only issue was check in - deceptive advertising of kids free but staff disputed vehemently. Although this is likely a US vs italy custom- this should be made clearer (Eg strict registration policy for kids despite free stay w existing bedding noted on web site and other internet sources ) to avoid the significant stress we experienced at check in - in addition to lecture from staff. We did not feel welcomed initially - but - to the credit of the management- they did find a way to accommodate- and this is the bottom line and reason for 5 star recommendation overall. I travel extensively (w st Regis stay on our next stop in Venice just completed) and would stay at Relais San Croce again despite confusion. Check out clerk was excellent on March 14 2023 in early afternoon.

8/10 Very Good! (13 reviews)

it was a good stay. no complaints. the staff was very helpful and gave good instructions on how to self-check-in. the only kinda sorta not great thing was that our unit did not have a bathroom and so there was a separate private bathroom across the hall. just a bit inconvenient, but in all, not bad. i would stay here again.
