A relaxing day at Terme di Vulci

From the Taurine Baths to the Ficoncella Thermal Baths, to Terme di Saturnia: thermal waters of the Lazio region provide places you must absolutely visit.

Some of these places are Terme di Vulci, not far (10 minutes by car) from Vulci Archeological Park and close to the old town of Montalto di Castro.  

An unspoilt place in the Lazio countryside, where you can let go of the daily stress and spend a whole day relaxing and taking care of yourself.

Opened in September 2016, Terme di Vulci include four thermal pools filled with mainly ferrous water. The temperature of the water ranges from 42°C, in the biggest pool, to 30°C, in the smallest pool. All the pools are supplied by spring waters of different colours and depths.

In the middle of the central pool there is a garden with three beautiful olive trees. Along the shore, there are beach umbrellas, sun beds and beach chairs to relax completely. Finally, there is also a bar where you can have a snack or a drink.

A BIT OF HISTORY

The Etruscans already sensed the beneficial and curative properties of Terme dei Vulci. Later, the Romans took advantage of the water by creating thermal baths, the so-called Vasche delle Cento Camere, a number of pools including a Calidarium, a Tiepidarium and a Frigidarium. In the middle of the pools there was a natium in a figure of eight. Some archeological finds show that there were many thermal baths even inside private rooms.

There was a particular interest in the following period: Luciano Bonaparte (brother of Napoleon) had a thermal center built, Casale del Bagno, a rectangular pond supplied by a natural source.
