Insider tip — Sorgenti San Cristoforo is part of the dense cluster of sulfurous springs that dot the volcanic plateau north of Viterbo, where Etruscan and Roman bathing traditions run deep. The springs emerge at 38°C along limestone fractures fed by the Cimini volcanic complex. This particular source is situated in a rural setting away from the busier tourist pools, offering a quieter immersion in the Lazio thermal tradition.
