Bagno Vignoni's main hot-spring pool is inside the luxury Posta Marcucci Spa hotel. Non-hotel guests can swim in the three outdoor pools, which range in temperature from 38°C (100°F) to 28°C (82°F), and can use the sun beds and umbrellas in the garden. Slippers and bathing caps are compulsory and can be purchased at the ticket desk. Entry is more expensive on the weekends.
This spa has two buildings with a large park in the middle and three types of water: Acqua Santa, Acqua Fucoli, and Acqua Sillene. Mud baths and other health or beauty treatments are available. The all-important mineral water is served at long counters, where the staff is always ready to refill your glass. Be warned: The water can have a cleansing effect on your system that may come on suddenly.
The swimming pools and treatments at Terme di Saturnia spa and resort are open to the public. You might make an appointment for a thermal mud therapy or rent a lounge chair and umbrella to sit by the pools. On weekends, the day price jumps a wee bit.
The waters here are said to help with kidney and urinary-tract ailments and all manner of digestive disorders; there are bocce courts and a pretty park to stroll in while you sip. On summer afternoons you can dance to live orchestra music in the park.
