What is the point of the spa at the Castello delle Fornaci?

The point of the spa at the Castello delle Fornaciis mainly to be able to relax in a heated outdoor hot tub, in peace and quiet, after a hike or a day spent outdoors on the Monte Amiata. It is advertised as free for guests: it is a small relaxation facility, not a thermal center or a spa with treatments, sauna or bathing circuits mentioned.

So what to expect: a quiet moment in the hot water, not a health treatment. The hot tub can be pleasant for relieving tension, but its effects remain those of a rest period and do not replace medical advice or care. If you have a cardiovascular condition, blood pressure problems, if you are pregnant or if heat is an issue for you, ask a healthcare professional for advice before getting in. Also check directly with the accommodation the access conditions and availability during your dates: the online description does not specify either the hours or the temperature. In short, it is a welcome bonus for relaxation on site, but not the reason to choose the establishment if you are looking for a genuine thermal experience.

I would keep it as a nice end-of-day bonus, not as the highlight of the stay: Monte Amiata already has plenty to fill the schedule.
