Review of Terme di Saturnia Spa

05 May 2011

Tuscany, Italy is known as one of the most beautiful corners of the Earth, and at its heart is the Terme di Saturnia Spa Resort. For a real Italian spa experience, this is the place to be. It sits only three miles from the ancient Italian town of Saturnia.

The spa sits on a huge park with walkways of stone which lead you to the entrance of the resort. This area was chosen for a reason – nearby there are babbling streams of thermal waters which come from deep under the Earth’s surface that are renowned for their therapeutic properties.
