Spa

Petriolo Spa (km. 80)
Le The Petriolo Spa was first mentioned in 1239 when Siena carried out a census of all the people who went there to be cured with its thermal waters; even Pope Pio II went there to benefit from the water’s exceptional properties. But the spa ? s origins are believed to date back to Roman times at the same time as the Roman settlements, discovered in the area. Situated alongside the Farma stream, the 40°C water – rich in sulphide hydrogen, excellent for curing respiratory ailments – is channeled by pipes that bring it up from a depth of 300 metres to the surface. A modern, thermal bath complex is well equipped for mud therapy, inhalation cures, nasal sprays and aerosol. Next to the Thermal Centre, there is also a Wellness Centre, offering varied treatments for the care and beauty of the face and body.

In 1249, building began on the first containing wall for the hot water that came, and still does, to the surface at 37°C at a capacity of 12.000 litres per second.
