Parco dei Mulini

It's a very good place to take photos with your family. Dit one thing is that you cannot bath in the pools. But a very good place, high recommended!

Lovely attraction, thermal flowing spring where you can take your shoes off and dip them in :). Has historical buildings near to Sienna

A bit of a hike to get to, but worth it! The entrance to the trail down is left from the ruins at the top.

The village of Bagno Vignoni, where the thermal baths are located is a lovely little place, with historic Tuscan architecture. The village is set on the top of a hill, while baths are about a 10 minute walk to the bottom. There is probably parking down there but I didn't check.

Perfect view point on the hill of Castiglione d'Orca

The location for the free spring pool is 43.0257090, 11.6195910. park your car there and walk to the pool. The water isn't hot by the time it gets to these pools, which was a good thing in late June.

Really beautiful park and views. Not at all crowded. I plan to swim next time I visit

It is a bit of a weird place. Literally "the park of the mill" it is difficult to make sense of all the ruins, what with the inclusion of bathing in how the Mills were made to run. It is only when (and if) you take the time to walk down the path down the side of the hill towards the pool/bath at the bottom, read all the wayboards and then come back up, then you might have an idea of how the whole complex worked and pretty impressive too considering when it was built and used. It is a shame that the exhibit like the mill itself has been allowed to decay. It really needs some tender loving care.

Amazing location to hang out with the option to go bath your feet in the stream of water

Amazing walk- beautiful old town- great thermal water that is cold at the bottom of the mill but just perfect for a hot day! Lots of people jumped in and the colors of the water is just beautiful.

What a brilliant place. Me and my family were staying and hour away in the north of Siena - the drive there was unstressful (Essential with a sat nav) through idyllic chiantishire of rolling hill sides and sun flower fileds.

The public old warm roman baths are not sign posted as you get to the village.

DIRECTIONS TO THE PUBLIC FREE ROMAN SPRINGS :-

Sulphur pool

As you come up the hill to the terme the road starts to bear slightly to the left, take the left turn down a stoney road. If you start to see parking on the left under the trees (60 min max stay) or the tarmac carpark you have gone too far ( this is where you pay for the spa hotel /wellness centre/ village). Find a parking place down the lane about 500m down and you will see paths with and without rusy railings to the right.
The first pool you get to is the cloudy sulphur clay pool with the water cascading in. The pool does not smell ..only if you grab a handful of clay from the bottom do you get a whiff of sulphur. You must sit under the warm shower.
THE SURFACE ALL AROUND THE POOL AND ABOVE THE POOL IS NOT SLIPPERY AS YOU MAY THINK ITS ALL ROCK UNDER FOOT SO YOU CAN EXPLORE THE AREA ABOVE THE POOL SAFETLY - JUST FOLLOW THE WATER UP. We walked up the rocks following the channel of the water to reach the highest point where there is a powerfull water cascade and small pool to sit in. The 1* rating of how dangerous the place i read was IMO was because they tried to get to the pool from the village over the rails and it does look dangerous and slippery to get down from there.

Going down from the top was easy my 13 yo son and me went down on our bottoms in the channel created by the running water - all very safe.

Pool 2

Below the sulphur pool (you can see it from the narrow part) take the paths to the stiller/clearer and still warm pool. Its deeper so you can swim and surrouded by reeds and at least 10 species of dragon flies..

More pools

At the end of the pool 2 there is a small bridge which i am sure leads to some out of the way pools if you want a little more peace but the further away from the terme at the top the cooler the water becomes.

At the village you can paddle in the hottest water as is passes in a small culvert. Its a shame as here are the original pools and culverts carved in the rock but due to lack of flow of water they are dry (why ? Perhaps the paid spa and wellnes hotel affects the flow or the water table is lower ...either which way the original width of water cascade must have been an impressive site)

Notes

Take drinks and food you need as there is no where to purchase at the roman baths but you can walk to the village (20 mins)
No toilet facilities
Very little shade bring hats and factor 50 sunscreen

For the village there is FREE PARKING just as you arrive turn right up a dusty bumpy track to a stoney large car park. Its about a 5 min walk to the main village and paid terme.

Enjoy

Nice park with ruins of ancient mill. There is a lukewarm spring which falls into a cold pool at the bottom of the cliff, where you can get in the water (reachable by foot).

The parking was free and very close, just avoid the paying parking on top and go to the dirt road.

Super chill place to stop and jump into the spring water. Also an interesting area to explore

Amazing!

Nice, unusual place with interesting waterfall.

Beautiful place with not so much tourists

Very cute village with great views

Beautiful park !

Take the short walk down to the 3 grottos containing the old grind stones and water wheel, etc. Take a towel for a swim in the pool
