7.Day Trip to the Saturnia Thermal Baths

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 32 reviews · 7 hours · from $294

Ride from Florence with Marco, an attentive English-speaking driver and guide, to Saturnia’s free natural hot springs. You get about two hours at the cascading pools, with time for photos, a soak, and an optional dinner stop on the return.

“Marco was a great driver and host. He pointed out a lot of great sights and stopped along the way for picture opportunities. He was on time and professional. Great communication via WhatsApp and answered all my questions. Had water and snacks ready for us. It’s a long drive and the hot springs were beautiful, but way more crowded than I expected (it was a Sunday). So the pools were full, as well as long lines for the toilets, to rent a locker, to get tokens for the shower, and for the actual showers 2euros for 2minutes), which took away from the time to enjoy the hot springs.”

At lunchtime we were initially turned away by waiting staff when we enquired about a table for four and told we could only use the take-out area. However, following a quick enquiry with the manager about whether we needed to reserve (we didn’t) we were quickly seated by the staff who had turned us away. This made us…”
