w Hot springs and thermal baths - Sunflower Retreats Holidays

Thermal baths and wild hot springs

Each week we organise a visit to the open-air pool at Viterbo and the nearby wild springs, where you can bathe in sulphur-rich mud.

Viterbo's hot sulphurous spring water has been used since Roman times to draw impurities out of the skin, to stimulate skin cells to secrete natural oils and to reduce blood pressure and rheumatism.

The huge pool has sun-loungers, palm trees and a bar and the water has different depths and temperature zones.

The wild springs

We also visit the local wild hot springs, situated in their natural environment in open fields. Here you can bathe in the sulphur-rich organic mud used in rehabilitative treatments, beauty masks and wraps.

Both the thermal baths and the hot springs are quiet, perfect places to relax, unwind and feel the tension, toxins, aches and pains being released from your body.

The all-day excursions to the thermal baths and wild hot sulphur springs costs from €40/per person including the entrance fee to spa, visit to the springs, and transport.

Please remember to pack flip-flops and a towel, or towelling dressing gown, for this excursion.
