Tuscany, renowned for its art, architecture, and culinary delights, also boasts a hidden gem: thermal springs. Nestled predominantly around Monte Amiata, a dormant volcano in the province of Siena faces the rolling hills of the Val d'Orcia to the northeast and Maremma to the eastern side. These natural wonders offer a serene escape amidst the region's picturesque landscapes. With their mineral-rich waters, thermal springs also provide various health benefits, making them a popular destination, especially during winter.

What is a thermal spring, and what are the benefits?
Thermal springs, or hot springs, are natural bodies of water heated geothermally by the Earth's internal heat. It's the ideal spot for visitors looking for some relaxation and rejuvenation. The experience also holds health benefits, with thermal springs containing mineral-rich waters believed to have therapeutic properties. The temperature of thermal springs can vary, ranging between 20 to 50 degrees. Many cultures have long-standing traditions of using thermal springs for their perceived healing properties, and today, spa resorts and wellness retreats often offer various treatments and therapies centred around thermal water immersion.
