How to get to Saturnia Thermal Baths
The closest airport is Fiumicino in Rome (150 km). By car, from Rome you need to take the motorway A11 and exit in Civitavecchia. From there take the Aurelia SS11 to Montalto di Castro; when you’ve passed Montalto, take the Vulci exit and drive towards Manciano and Saturnia (it’s about 180km, 2 hours drive from Rome). From Florence go towards Siena and from there take the SS223 to Grosseto. Once in Grosseto follow Scansano, Montemerano, Saturnia.
Getting to Saturnia Thermal Baths is not very easy via public transport, but it’s not impossible. The closest train station is Albinia, but not many trains stop there, so it’s better to stop in Orbetello (it’s about 2 hrs from Rome and 20 minutes from Grosseto, check www.trenitalia.com). From Orbetello you need to get a first bus to Manciano (lines 11-PR or from Grosseto via Albinia 41-PR); from Manciano there’s a second bus (line 17-PR); the Thermal Baths are before the town of Saturnia, so ask the driver to drop you off there. On the way back, bus to Manciano 17-PA and then to Orbetello 11-PA or Albinia-Grosseto 41-PA. Please note that many of these services are “feriale”, which means that they run Monday to Saturday, excluded national holidays. There is only one bus from Manciano to Saturnia, so you will need to spend one or two nights in Saturnia (in town or at the nearby resort).
