Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a swimming pool?
No, we've chosen not to have a pool to preserve the peaceful, natural character of our rural setting. Instead, we're just 25 minutes from the world-famous Saturnia hot springs – natural thermal waters at 37°C, free to access, and more memorable than any pool.
Can I bring my pet?
Unfortunately, we're unable to accommodate pets. This policy helps us maintain a quiet environment for all guests and ensures the highest standards of cleanliness for those with allergies.
How far is Podere Sant'Angelo from Saturnia's hot springs?
Saturnia's hot springs are just 25 minutes' drive from Podere Sant'Angelo. Both the famous free Cascate del Mulino (natural thermal waterfalls) and the paid spa resort are easily accessible. We recommend visiting the free cascades early morning or late afternoon to avoid crowds. For detailed directions and insider tips, see our complete Saturnia guide.
