マンチャーノのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

The daily entrance fee is currently 29€, but you have to bring a white towel and a white robe. You can rent whatever you need at the Thermal Spa individually or as package. In case you do need to rent everything (robe, towels and slippers plus entry = 45€) AND want to stay the whole day, I recommend buying the package for 65€ which includes lunch as well - starter, main, 1 side & 0.5l of water - as the prices in the bistro are quite ridiculously high and you will most likely spend more than 20€.

The ancient core of Saturnia stands on a rocky plateau to the left of the Albegna River, at its confluence with the Stellata stream. The settlement's existence is documented from the 12th century, although it was originally an Etruscan (nearby Etruscan necropolis of Pian di Palma) and Roman center (along the Via Clodia), as the site of a parish church and the already famous thermal baths. In 1170, the castle was under the control of the Counts of Tentennano, from 1216 under the Aldobrandeschi, and then passed to Count Bonifacio di Santa Fiora. In 1274, with the dismemberment of the Aldobrandeschi fiefdom, Saturnia became part of the County of Sovana. It was sacked by the Sienese in 1299 and by the Orvietans in 1313, who occupied it. In 1328, it passed to the Baschi family and subsequently to the Orsini. Siena conquered it, but only temporarily, in 1389 and, unable to control it, destroyed it in 1419 as it had become a haven for exiles from the Republic. In the following years, it was decided to rebuild the keep and the walls and to settle a certain number of families from Romagna and Lombardy on site. Saturnia remained under the Sienese dominion until its submission to Cosimo de' Medici in 1559. It was a fiefdom of the Marquises Ximenes from 1593 and of the Panciatichi from 1738.

Molino Waterfalls, free admission, 38-degree thermal water!

After the hike, a 45-minute drive from Sovana to Saturina and time to relax in the hot springs.

Fresh spring dawn with warm thermal water

The water is a little more than knee-high and you can still get through easily.

This natural thermal spa with its various pools is a truly special natural spectacle. A dream come true in the mornings or evenings. Reachable from the campervan site in just under 20 minutes on foot. Restaurants, showers, and restrooms are right next door.

Club, spa, terme ... thermal baths for an entrance fee. In return you get loungers like at the sea 😂
