The hot springs of San Casciano dei Bagni are one of Tuscany's most fascinating attractions, located in the picturesque village of San Casciano dei Bagni, in the province of Siena

This place is renowned for its natural thermal springs, which have been used since Etruscan and Roman times for their healing properties.

The thermal waters of San Casciano dei Bagni flow at a constant temperature of 42°C and are rich in minerals such as sulphur, calcium, magnesium and fluoride, which give them anti-inflammatory, analgesic and therapeutic properties. These waters are particularly indicated for the treatment of locomotory, nervous, respiratory, muscular and dermatological disorders and are appreciated for their anti-toxic and metabolic effects.

The hot springs are divided into two areas: the free spa area, where you can bathe in the hot waters for free and the fee-paying spa area, where you can enjoy a range of thermal services, such as massages, mud baths and inhalations. The free spa area consists of open-air pools and offers a spectacular view of the Tuscan hills. The thermal waters are warm and sulphurous and have an emerald green colour. The park is equipped with benches, tables and barbecues and offers an ideal environment to relax and enjoy the thermal waters. The fee-paying spa area is more modern and offers a range of more advanced wellness services.

The hot springs of San Casciano dei Bagni are not only a place for physical wellness but also an opportunity to dive into the history and culture of Tuscany. The combination of natural beauty, historical and cultural heritage and thermal wellness makes San Casciano dei Bagni a must-see for anyone wishing to discover the authentic heart of Tuscany.
