Bagni San Filippo - thermal hot springs

Continuing our epic day out in the Tuscan countryside, I had researched before leaving home the various options for "in the wild" thermal hot springs. On our journey home we more or less had to pass the thermal hot springs at San Filippo, so pulled off the road, parked the car and walked the few hundred metres to the first pool. Following it down a bit further, we found the calciferous formation known as Fosso Bianco - kids climbed up to sit in a pool. In the end we settled for a pool with no-one in it. My first time in a hot spring, and it was surprisingly bordering on almost too hot! The trickles of water feeding into the pools were almost too hot to touch. I was worried that when we got out that we would be cold, but it was very refreshing.Läs mer
