Life is becoming more and more hectic: rhythms are tight and moments of relaxation are few. Every day we worry about others (family, friends, colleagues), we work with our heads down with artificial postures, we do not get the right nutrients because there is little time for a lunch break. Every day, therefore, we forget an important factor: our health.
Health is defined as a state of total physical, mental and social well-being and not just an absence of illness.
At least for today, let someone take care of you and suggest the best spas in Tuscany where you can switch off and pamper your body (and why not also your soul).
Tuscany is known for its art, culture and history, but the spas are also remarkable. Already the Etruscans and Romans appreciated the positive effects of a thermal cure in Tuscany.
Read on to find out where to spend a day of relaxation and personal care.
1. CASCATE DEL MULINO (Maremma Toscana)
Also known as the Cascatelle di Saturnia are a natural paradise in the Tuscan Maremma, reachable by following the provincial road SP10.
The Cascatelle del Mulino are a magical place, created by the power of nature, where sulphurous waters gush forth at 37.5 C from the natural Gorello spring. The special feature of these pools is the thermal plankton that has beneficial effects on the skin, digestive, circulatory and motor systems.
The waterfalls are open 24 hours a day every day of the week and have free admission. You can park your car in the designated parking area and walk to the thermal baths. You will also find a bar with changing rooms and toilets.
2. GROTTA GIUSTI SPA (Monsummano Terme)
The poetry of nature combined with human savoir faire, a single phrase that best describes what you will find at the Grotta Giusti thermal spa resort. The Grotta Giusti thermal spa resort is located in Monsummano Terme in Pistoia and offers an unforgettable experience to all its guests.
Spending a day at Grotta Giusti you can enjoy the large outdoor thermal pool. You will have a 750 square metre thermal pool at your disposal where you can relax and be lulled by the water jets of the innovative whirlpools.
Are you frightened by low winter temperatures? The experience at this thermal complex will soon be made possible even in the coldest season: a telescopic glass structure with double inlet will keep the heat inside. Rain and cold outside, a tropical oasis inside. Even the floors will be heated.
Think you've reached the pinnacle? You still haven't read about the steam bath in the natural grotto.
The secret treasure of the resort is in fact the natural grotto, which offers 34-degree thermal steam with a health-promoting effect. The panacea for relieving stress and muscle tension.
