Bagni di Petriolo is one of the chart-topping options to consider. It’s unique for its mineral-rich waters that gush from the earth at a soothing 109 degrees. They drop over calcite rocks and straight into the Farma River. Makeshift pools surrounded by boulders have been built to create free bathing spots there.
