Terme di Chianciano
Parks, Theia pools and sensory thermal baths to restore well-being
The Terme di Chianciano consists of thermal baths located in the municipality of Chianciano Terme, in the beautiful natural setting of the Valdichiana Senese and just a few miles from the towns of Chiusi and Montepulciano.
In the large thermal parks of Fucoli and Acqua Santa flow 4 types of beneficial waters for the well-being of the body: Acqua Santa, Acqua Fucoli, Acqua Sillene and Acqua Santissima.
The therapeutic properties of the waters
The Chianciano thermal waters are rich in bicarbonate, sulfate and calcium:
Acqua Santa gushes out at 91 °F (33 °C) and is ideal for morning hydroponic therapy. It promotes digestion, relieves gastrointestinal bloating and heaviness and may even help reduce blood cholesterol levels.
Acqua Sillene flows from the spring at 101 °F (38.5 °C) and because of its high content of free carbon dioxide, it is used in balneotherapy for vascular diseases and in mud balneotherapy for treating arthritis and rheumatic pathologies.
Acqua Fucoli emerges at 62 °F (16.5 °C) and is the star of the afternoon hydroponic treatment. Its good calcium intake renders this water useful for proper hydrosaline replenishment in summer, ideal for those who play sports and for the elderly.
In contrast, Acqua Santissima is used for inhalations and aerosol therapy for adults and children as well as for nasal showers for complete cleansing of the upper airways.
The Terme di Chianciano offer thermal cures in agreement with Italy’s National Health System, including hydroponic treatment with Acqua Santa, a cure enhanced by liver baths and liver mud at the Terme Sillene, where arthritis-rheumatic baths and mud treatments along with baths for vascular pathologies are also practiced. A Physiokinesitherapy Center for rehabilitation coordinated by medical specialists is also in operation here.
The thermal bath establishment and services
The spa complex includes the three centers with the Theia, Sillene and Sensory Thermal Pools. Added to these are the fascinating dreamlike atmospheres of the Fucoli and Acqua Santa parks and the Institute for Health Center.
The Sensory Thermal Bath is inspired by multi-sensory Eastern philosophies, combining the use of thermal waters with advanced relaxation techniques that rebalance physical energy. The sensory thermal bath offers 20 different experiences (including baths for relaxation, aromatherapy, color therapy, music therapy, a calidarium, steam room and emotional showers) articulated along specific pathways to harmonize the human energy field.
The Sillene Thermal Center offers specialized spa treatments such as mud balneotherapy for treating joint and circulatory disorders, inhalation treatments and baths for vascular problems. A physical therapy center for post-surgical recovery is also located here.
The Theia Thermal Pools, four outdoor and three indoor, are fed by water from the Sillene spring that is rich in carbon dioxide, calcium carbonate, bicarbonate and sulfates, determining an anti-inflammatory action on the musculoskeletal system and eutrophication for the skin.
In the two thermal parks, numerous cultural, recreational and sports activities are held throughout the year. Two great artists, Federico Fellini and Luigi Pirandello, loved to walk in the park and along the alleys of the historic town of Chianciano Terme and it was here that they conceived some of their artistic masterpieces.
Finally, the Institute for Health Center offers innovative treatments in aesthetic medicine, sports medicine and tests.
