"Set in woodland at the foothills of Monte Amiata, this site offers a raw, natural experience. Sulfur-rich waters flow over white limestone formations, creating natural pools and striking rock structures. Freely accessible and deeply atmospheric."
Licensed Tour Guide
Florence & Countryside Local

Bagni San Filippo feels unreal at times, as cascades of sulfuric waters create white, almost “sticky” looking ripples over limestone rock formations. What you’re looking at is, in fact, natural hot springs, broken up by little waterfalls and rock pools. Surrounded by trees of the Monte Amiata woodland, it appears like a scene from a fairytale. It's open to the public, and the pools are completely free. The main pool here is Balena Bianca, or the ‘White Whale.’
