Casciana Thermal Baths
A vacation away from stress
The Casciana Thermal Baths, located in the Pisan Hills, is a thermal spa with over a thousand years of history. Also called the "Thermal Pearl of Italy," the center is famous for its therapeutic waters, which were acknowledged for their special healing properties as early as 1100.
The Casciana Thermal Baths have Ancient Roman origins, but their development began with Countess Matilda of Canossa, who discovered and enhanced the value of the benefits of the thermal waters, building infrastructures and carrying out works of embellishment.
The therapeutic properties of the waters
The thermal water at the Casciana Thermal Baths is called "Acqua Mathelda" (named after Countess Matilda of Canossa) and flows from the spring at a constant, natural temperature of 35.7°C (96.3°F). Its bicarbonate-sulfate-calcium characteristic gives it therapeutic qualities that counteract venous circulation dysfunctions, rheumatism and arthrosis, uricemia, high cholesterol, rhinitis, pharyngitis, bronchitis and all gynecological disorders.
Through thermal muds and balneotherapy, the water is used for treating dermatological conditions, such as chronic dermatitis, atopic dermatitis in children psoriasis and post-operative and post-traumatic scars. It is also used for post-traumatic or post-operative orthopedic rehabilitation therapies, thanks to the beneficial action of this type of water on blood circulation at both the dermatological and bone levels.
The waters of the Casciana Thermal Baths are also used in mineral water treatments for the liver and biliary tract and in inhalations for respiratory problems including allergic rhinitis, pharyngitis, sinusitis and rhinosinusitis, also in children.
Thermal establishment and services
The Casciana Thermal Baths have three thermal pools: an outdoor one in the park, an indoor one for physical rehabilitation and one dedicated to well-being with the Villa Borri Thermal Path.
Thermal services offered at Villa Borri, an 18th-century residence, include two thermal pools, a Turkish bath and traditional Oriental wellness treatments.
A variety of thermal treatments are performed, including: underwater massage bath, to promote muscle relaxation; ozonized bath in a Roman tub, to improve circulation; inhalation treatment, which promotes decongestion and lung health.
The facility also accommodates both outpatient and residential physical rehabilitation paths and is accredited by the Italian National Health Service. Specializing in functional recovery of the musculoskeletal system, the center boasts highly qualified medical staff and personalized therapies for every need.
From the thermal waters, the center has created their "Aqua Mathelda" cosmetic line for the face and body, in collaboration with biologists from the Barbara Stein professional cosmetics company.
Ideal spaces ideal for events, meetings and ceremonies are also available.
The village in which the thermal establishment is located is part of the municipality of Casciana Terme Lari, situated between coastal Tuscany and the hinterland: in half an hour, you can get to the Castiglioncello cliffs and the Versilia beaches or the cities of art of Volterra and Pisa.
