Italy's richness in thermal
and mineral waters, combined with mildness from the climate as well as
the appeal of the scenery, make it a popular venue for "health care tourism".
Since the last century hotels with extensive facilities have raised up
around spas, that have recognized international reputations. |
Within this field Italy has
taken up and developed a practice which has been widespread through-out
the peninsula since the time with the Romans, when thermal waters and baths
were already an average feature of town life. Curiosity about the Italian
spas just isn't just for medical reasons. Their proximity to great centers
of art helps make the spa resorts fantastic bases for cultural excursions.
Moreover the splendid parks surrounding the most famous spas, and also
the infrastructure that is suitable for leisure activities, make them ideal
holiday resorts in their own right. Italian thermal spas are not only people
that exploit hot water resources (since the literal specification of the
word "thermal" might suggest) since mineral water springs are now also
generally especially category.

water springs. The spring water is recognized as to help individuals with
trouble with the stomach or liver. Healthy people can enjoy the old time
grandeur with the city, stroll neighborhood or enjoy spa remedies in the
various hotels.

vacation itineraries.

powers of mineral waters extends back to prehistoric times
2 kinds of medical spas presently
exist: wellness centers and cosmetic treatment centers. Moreover, several
medical spas offer both forms of services.
Traditionally, specially
in Europe, a spa retreat have been considered an event meant to help patients
achieve their wellness goals.
However, today, several medical
spas have opened that focus on cosmetic procedures performed under the
direction of an physician.
And while both forms of medical
spa offer benefits, being aware of what to expect from your favorite medical
spa is essential.

 The
most legendary spa in the city could be the Tettuccio Terme located on
the principal road of Montecatini Terme - Viale Verdi, beside the park.
on a single road you will find the municipality building along with the
visitor information center.
The Tettuccio Terme was built
in the late 1700s through the Grand Duke of Tuscany, Leopold of Habsburg
- Lorraine, the son with the Austrian Empress Maria Theresa. The very first
three spas which are created were the Tettuccio, the Regina and Leopoldine.
These three spas made Montecatini Terme legendary throughout Europe, and

advanced and they include lots of modern ways of massage, mud pack therapies
and hydrotherapy.

reachable by bus or train but when you like the peaceful medioeval towns
and villas around Montecatini Terme, the only real option would be by car.
Trains take about 30 minutes to Lucca, an hour or so to Pisa (generally
including an alteration at Lucca) and Florence. Several travel agencies
organize day trips. Consider them if you are without (rented) vehicle and
even go to San Gimignano (several changes by public transport).
