Cascate del Mulino Saturnia<\/h1>\n

One of the most unforgettable experiences I had in Tuscany was the visit to the spas called Cascate del Mulino<\/a>, or Le Cascatelle, near Saturnia.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a really fascinating place. From afar (there is a belvedere with great view) they look like a painting.<\/p>\n

This thermal spring is called Cascatelle or Cascate because the water has formed a waterfall that opens in many other smaller waterfalls that have carved the rock, forming natural pools on different levels.<\/p>\n

These pools are full of sulfurous water that comes out directly from the underground at a constant temperature of 37\u00b0 C.<\/p>\n

Being soaked in it is good for the body, thanks to the beneficial properties, but also for the spirit.The waterfalls are surrounded by the beautiful nature of Tuscany.<\/p>\n

The green of the vegetation is mixed with the turquoise of the water and the white of the calcareous rock.<\/p>\n

An old building at the top of the falls stands still, as a reminder of a past time. Further away, beyond the trees, the delicate hills of Maremma disappear from view, hidden by curtains of steam.<\/p>\n

Everything is terribly relaxing!<\/h3>\n

I’ve been to the Cascate del Mulino at night.<\/p>\n

I remember that reach them was an adventure, since the path was scarcely lit. Yes, I must confess I was a little bit scared of walking in the dark, surrounded by the vegetation. But I think this was part of the experience too!<\/p>\n

Actually I was lucky because that night the sky was clear and an amazing full moon brightened the surroundings.<\/p>\n

When I finally reached the falls I was enchanted. Every detail contributed to create an intimate and magical atmosphere that still thrills me a bit nowadays.<\/p>\n

The reflections of the moonlight on the water, the sounds of the waterfalls, the warmth of the water on the body, pleasant despite it was summer,\u2026<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why the Cascate del Mulino are among the most beautiful natural spas in Tuscany and also Italy.<\/p>\n

The best thing is that they are open every day, both day and night, and are completely free.<\/p>\n

This makes them an unmissable destination for your holiday in Maremma, but it also means that they could be a little crowded.<\/p>\n

Weekends, especially in spring and autumn, are particularly packed. Nothing unbearable, according to me, but if you are looking for a very relaxing experience, choose other moments.<\/p>\n

And finally, when you’ll be tired of soaking in the hot water, remember that a few kilometers away is Montemerano, one of the most beautiful hamlets in Italy.<\/p>\n
