When to go to Saturnia to avoid the crowds?

To avoid the crowds at Cascate del Mulino, , aim for April-May or the second half of September and October, , on a weekday, and arrive before 9 a.m.. . You'll enjoy generally milder temperatures than in winter without the heavy crowds of the summer holidays. Weekends remain busier, even in the off-season: if you can, also avoid public holidays and long weekends.

July and August are the months to avoid if calm is your priority, especially in the middle of the day. In winter, there are often fewer people and the water in the pools stays warm, around 35 to 37 °C, , but the air can be cold and damp when you get out; bring a towel and dry clothes. Spring and autumn are therefore the best compromise, not a guarantee of having the pools to yourself: the site is well known and can fill up from early morning. The Cascate del Mulino are outdoors and accessible at any time, which also makes an early visit possible. Just check the weather before you go: after rain, the path and rocks can be slippery.
