Spa Information
Thermal waters and baths have been a feature of town life in Italy since the Romans. More recently the luxury of thermal and mineral springs, together with the mild climate and the beautiful scenery, have made Italy one of the most popular destinations for 'health tourism'.
All over Tuscany there are hot springs of volcanic origin, like Bagni di Lucca. The Romans first exploited the springs and built bath complexes, where army veterans, who settled in towns including Florence and Siena could relax.
The thermal complex is based upon 19 springs of water containing salts of sulphur and calcium reaching a natural temperature of up to 67° Fahrenheit (54° C) and of varying concentration, warmth and radioactivity. Spa treatments include plunge baths, mud treatment, the grotto of natural vapor and inhalation treatment.
Renowned as Europe’s most fashionable spas, visitors arrive here not only to relax or find a thermal cure but also to tryout Europe’s first licensed gambling houses, the Casino.
