37° HAVE BEEN IN USE, SINCE THE TIME OF THE ETRUSCANS – Saturnia, Italy: Maremma, region of Tuscany

His name is linked to a legend that surrounds its ancient origins. It is said that the thermal springs have been gleaned from a thunderbolt launched by Jupiter, angry with his father Saturn. Saturn, before stopping in the wild but beautiful Maremma, wandered (according to the greek-Roman mythology), throughout Italy. Contrary to what is narrated by this legend, it seems that the name of the spa town of Saturnia is derived from that of a water deity, worshiped at these places by the Etruscans. http://www.tuttomaremma.com/en/

If you want to forget the winter and its rainy days, wet and cold, it is necessary that you come to the “Cascate del Mulino of Saturnia”, a place in the Tuscan Maremma, in the province of Grosseto. Originated by the sulphurous waters of the Terme di Saturnia, these waterfalls are small natural pools that are filled with water that comes from the falls. Here, in the countryside and away from the chaos, you can embrace the beneficial properties of the waters, of course, in total relaxation, leaving you with the flow. Do not forget – looking around – that Saturnia spa are famous in the world for the fabulous natural environment that adorns (its huge limestone basins, created over the centuries by the wealthy calcium thermal waters). http://www.cascate-del-mulino.info/en/

The water, flowing waterfall, from one level to the other tanks, to a pleasant temperature even in winter. The thermal baths of Saturnia are large and numerous, but if you come here during periods of overcrowding, risk of finding too many people (especially on weekends). The water is very hot – about 37 degrees – so be sure to keep on hand a bathrobe when you get out of the water. If the place is to your liking, stopped at the hotel “Poggio Degli Olivi – Green Houses Saturnia” (Strada Del Capannone, Saturnia, Manciano), is in the center of the valley, right where the famous thermal spring water, where you’ll be surrounded by nature, and surrounded by a large olive grove. http://www.ilpoggiodegliolivi.com/
