Soothing — neither hot nor cold, perfect balance.
Rich in active gases or metals — a strong mineral character.
Soft water — natural, classic buoyancy.
La Pozza — 'The Pool' — is a natural sulphurous thermal pool in Italy, one of the many free or low-cost outdoor natural bathing sites in the volcanic zones of central and southern Italy where geothermal water fills natural depressions or hand-built containment pools accessible to all visitors. Italy's terme libere tradition, concentrated particularly in Tuscany around Saturnia and Bagni San Filippo, in Lazio around Viterbo, and on the volcanic islands, represents a remarkable democratic approach to natural geothermal resources — a legacy of Italian public law that has historically treated natural springs as common property. La Pozza's sulphurous water, in whatever volcanic Italian landscape it surfaces, maintains the ancient Roman tradition of shared communal bathing in natural mineral waters.
