Hot springs in Italy

We currently list 60 hot springs in Italy: 7 wild or natural, 49 resorts or spas, 4 public pools or bathhouses. 3 of them are closed or temporarily closed, and marked on their cards and pages. The list grows as we verify new places.

Yes, 6 of the springs we list in Italy have no entry fee, including Bullicame (Parco termale del Bullicame), Piscine Carletti, Pozza di Leonardo, Terme di Petriolo and Terme libere di Bagno Vignoni (Parco dei Mulini). Free springs are usually undeveloped, so expect no changing rooms or lifeguards, and check parking rules.

Of the springs with published temperatures, Terme di Fordongianus (Roman baths and Is Bangius) runs hottest, at up to 106-109°F (41-43°C). Water that hot needs short soaks; test it with a hand before you get in.

Baia di Sorgeto, Bullicame (Parco termale del Bullicame), Cascate del Mulino (Saturnia), Fosso Bianco (Bagni San Filippo) and Giardini Poseidon Terme are the most family-friendly options we list, with lifeguarded or shallow pools and facilities on site. Clothing-optional springs are excluded.

Bagni di Lucca (Terme Bagno Bernabò), Bullicame (Parco termale del Bullicame), Fonteverde Lifestyle & Thermal Retreat, Giardini Poseidon Terme and Grotta Giusti Thermal Spa Resort have parking within a few minutes' walk of the water. 10 others need a walk or a hike, which is noted on each listing.
