Saturnia hot springs
In deep southern Tuscany, sulphurous water at 37 degrees tumbles over the Cascate del Mulino's tiers of natural travertine pools — free, open around the clock and gloriously pagan.

About this place
Arrive at dawn or after dark to have the steaming cascades to yourselves; summer weekends get busy. Those wanting robes and treatments can book the Terme di Saturnia resort next to the spring itself, then eat wild boar pici in nearby Montemerano.
