BAGNI SAN FILIPPO ITALY
Did someone say free thermal bath? Yes. and they're dotted all along a huge cliffside, covered in white and lime green from the calcium carbonate in the water that flows infinitely over the rocks. Small tubs sit perfectly to fit two and overlook the forested area below. Places like this won't stay accessible or free for long though so don't wait till it's too late!!
