The waters
Montecatini thermal waters' beneficial effects had been known for hundreds of years, but it was the house of the Lorena who, in the XVIII century, valorised and made popular the qualities of these waters building a true thermal town.
Montecatini Terme is the destination for tourists who enjoy the amenity of the gentle Pistoia hills, and choose the city for its diversified and customised thermal offer, counting as they can on nine establishments: Tettuccio, Torretta, Tamerici, Leopoldine, Excelsior, Redi, Regina, La Salute and the Istituto Grocco.

The hot mineral waters surge onto the surface from a depth of about 1000 metres, reaching a maximum temperature, once surfaced, of around 33° C. The physical-chemical composition of the waters varies in every spring depending on the concentration of saline content of the earth layers it passes, which further differentiate hard, medium or sweet waters.

About the spas
The nine thermal spas in Montecatini offer all the types of thermal cures: the mud, the inhalation cures, hydro massage, aesthetic cures and physical therapies. The waters of each establishment are characterised by a variable presence of saline content which diversifies the curative effects; each water, therefore, is indicated for a specific therapy, although it is a good idea to use the four types of waters to obtain a general balancing effect on the organism.
