Water profile
Soothing — neither hot nor cold, perfect balance.
Rich in active gases or metals — a strong mineral character.
Soft water — natural, classic buoyancy.
Doccie Basse — 'Lower Showers' — is a natural thermal site in Italy, likely in the Saturnia or Bagni San Filippo area of the Maremma, where sulphurous geothermal water emerges and flows over the natural landscape in shower-like falls or cascades accessible to bathers in an outdoor natural setting. Natural thermal cascades and showers, where geothermal water flows over travertine or volcanic rock faces, are among the most spectacular free thermal experiences available anywhere in Italy, and the Maremma landscape around Saturnia contains several such sites. The surrounding Maremma landscape — wild horses, Etruscan ruins, medieval hilltop towns like Pitigliano and Sorano, and the extraordinary butteri cowboy culture — provides one of Italy's most dramatic and least-visited natural settings.
