Most of these places are located in the province of Viterbo, in the Tuscia area, a landmark for all the lovers of thermal baths tourism. The Bullicame thermal baths are probably the most famous and oldest in the area, located less than 3 km west of the city and mentioned by Dante in a passage from his Comedy, too. Here the water flows out at about 58 degrees at its source and is very rich in beneficial elements for the health of the skin and the breathing and blood circulation systems: moreover, the presence of two pools with different temperatures allow you to practice a natural calidarium-frigidarium experience.

These baths, which already existed in Roman age, are very effective to give relief to those suffering from arthritis and rheumatism and allow you to practice the calidarium-tepidarium-frigidarium path crossing six different pools starting from a temperature at the source of 63 degrees to set between 36 and 40 degrees then.

The thermal baths of Masse di San Sisto, south of Viterbo, are absolutely worthy to be mentioned. The two pools making this thermal spring have waters with temperatures ranging between 18 and 30 degrees, therefore much colder than the others in the Viterbo area, but it doesn’t mean they’re less healthy for this: in particular, these thermal baths are specific for those with problems related to the blood circulation.
