The most authentic side of the Maremma, waiting to be explored
In Saturnia, there is something to be discovered wherever you go.
Travelling for just a few minutes from here, you can reach ancient hamlets, nature reserves, hilly landscapes and places that represent the most authentic side of Tuscany.
The Residence Bagno Santo is the ideal starting point for anyone looking to freely explore the Maremma, with its thermal springs, nature and authentic flavours.
Villages to visit
Some of the most charming villages in Southern Tuscany can be found in the local area:
- Montemerano, with its cobbled lanes and artisan workshops, it is considered to be one of the Most beautiful villages in Italy”, the only one to be shaped like a heart
- Manciano, sitting atop a hill with a view as fare as the sea of Argentario, it is home to the local Prehistoric and Archaeological Museum.
- Pitigliano, the “Little Jerusalem”, is an enchanting place, with its houses sitting on the tuff rock and its Jewish traditions handed down over the centuries.
- Sovana and Sorano, with their Etruscan necropolises and lanes carved into the rock, they offer a trip back in time, among rugged tombs and Medieval fortresses.
Sport and well-being activities
The Maremma is ideal for activities, with its rolling hills, panoramic roads and a climate that allows outdoor activities almost all year round.
It is popular with cyclists: silent roads, open landscape and trails that change at every bend. Our collaboration with Marea Bike allows you to rent a bike or join a guided tour to explore the area in an authentic and sustainable manner.
For golf lovers, the prestigious Terme di Saturnia Golf Club is just a few minutes away from Bagno Santo, offering an 18-hole par 72 golf course designed by Ronald Fream and considered one of the most beautiful in Italy.
Nestled in the midst of olive groves and natural slopes, it offers spectacular views and an atmosphere of total relaxation.
Our guests can take advantage of a dedicated special discount of 10%, not applicable in combination with other promotions.
Experiences in nature
In addition to the thermal springs, the Maremma offers the perfect landscape for trekking, as well as excursions by horseback or e-bike.
The trails wind through olive groves, vineyards and nature reserves, such as Monte Amiata, where in the summer one can walk through shady forests or go snowshoeing in the winter.
Adventure lovers can travel to the Parco dell’Uccellina, a natural treasure facing out over the sea, with dunes, pine groves and herds of wild horses.
Anima Natura
the animal sanctuary
The sanctuary is home to wild, exotic and barnyard animals: wolves, deer, hedgehogs, buffaloes, badgers, parrots, flamingos and many others, each with its own story of recovery. The animals live in spacious natural habitats, cared for by veterinarians and specialised custodians who ensure their care and freedom.
The sanctuary can be visited by reservation, and people can take part in educational activities, ideal for families with children.
A visit to Anima Natura is an opportunity to encounter an ethical and respectful way to experience nature, bringing together knowledge, emotion and awareness.
From the sea to the hills
In less than an hour, the landscape changes completely, from the green of the hills to the blue of the seas of Argentario, with the beaches of Talamone, Albinia and Porto Santo Stefano.
Perfect for a day trip, above all in the spring or at the end of the summer, when the Tuscan coast is at its most peaceful.
Flavours and traditions
The Maremma is a place that is also to be explored at the table: wineries and farmsteads offer wines such as the Morellino di Scansano and typical dishes such as pappardelle with wild boar, acquacotta maremmana or sheep’s cheese matured in tuff rock grottoes.
Ask for suggestions: we have personal contacts with producers and trattorias that offer a traditional welcome.
Exploring the Saturnia area means embracing the calm pace of the Maremma, where nature marks time and every place has a story to tell.
Write to us on WhatsApp: we will be delighted to recommend hamlets, walks and small local treasures that you will not find in the guides.
