Located 2.5 hrs away from Rome or 3.5 hrs away from Florence is a hidden gem so therapeutic that I could have easily stayed for hours. Cascate del Mulino is a beauty to behold! These natural hot springs stay at a comfortable temperature of 37.5 degrees Celcius (99.5 F). I did this as a day trip from Rome, leaving at 5am with my rental car. The goal was to actually leave at 4am for sunrise but I overslept 😣.⠀⠀ ⠀ Get here early to avoid the crowd. A lot of people make the mistake of calling this place "Terme di Saturnia" but that's actually the name of a nearby hotel about 4 mins away. If you come for sunrise, there's a good chance you'll have this place to yourself for an hour or so. If you come late morning to midday, these hot springs will start to look like a waterpark with all the people here. By the time I started recording this video, some people had already started getting in the pools but luckily I managed to snap photos without anyone in the springs.⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ On the left side of this abandoned house, you can easily climb up to the stream that's supplying the waterfall and swim around in the pools up there (highly recommend it!).⠀⠀ ⠀ Make sure to bring water shoes as there are a bunch of little pebbles in the water and of course a waterproof seal for your phone. There isn't anywhere to change but in or near your car in the car park. Your skin will be super dry afterward so have lotion handy with you. I was told after my visit that there are shower stalls nearby but I didn't notice any when I was there.⠀⠀ ⠀ The best part is that Cascate del Mulino is completely FREE and open 24 hours a day!! #tuscany #italy #europe #hotsprings
