Located in southern Tuscany, Saturnia is part of the Maremma, a secluded natural paradise. Long neglected by vacationers for the grandeur of Florence and Siena, the Maremma (http://www.bellamaremma.com) is an untouched countryside of immaculate beauty, where the small towns are sparsely populated and filled with rich traditions and enthralling histories. Saturnia itself is a charming medieval village, surrounded by olive groves and thick Mediterranean vegetation. Rich in Estruscan remains; Saturnia is a place of great cultural and historical splendour and is also recognised for the high standard of its local cuisine.

Established in the second half of the 19th century, the thermal springs of Saturnia are famed for both their beauty and healing properties.
