Saturnia
Thermal pools carved from travertine terraces create a dreamlike landscape of mineral-rich bathing.
Steam rises from ancient limestone formations where hot springs have carved stepped pools into hillsides over millennia.

Time moves differently here, measured in long soaks and the rhythm of water cascading between terraces.
