What nowadays means golf in the ancient world of Rome were hot spring and baths: a place where you could eat, meet people, and conduct sports and business deals. Today baths turned to spas and became the starting point for themed itineraries, the reference point for quality gastronomy and a natural complement to the most prestigious golf courses.Within Itay form North to South there about 300 spa bath locations. Tuscany, Emilia Romagna, Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia are the most popular destinations for Italians and foreigners alike. The ingredients of well-being have been borrowed from nature to create new treatment trends for taking care of the body. One of the most popular are hot springs. The thermal water many times come from a subterranean spring that lies at a depth of 200 meters and more. They are said to help skin troubles, respiratory system, locomotor and vascular system and more. Treatments are based on technology and experience. Today, therapies performed by specialised medical teams and clinical treatments – some with centuries of history behind them - have given rise to the most important medical school of hydrology in Italy, a reference point for clinics throughout the world.
Italians consider a stay at a spa bath a special occasion for relaxation, and are unwilling to give up this pleasure. We recommend experimenting regions with a strong spa tradition such as Tuscany, Emilia Romagna and Veneto. One of the most famous places in Northern Italy are Abano and Montegrotto in Veneto are known throughout the world for their mud-bath treatments (the beneficial properties of their natural mud, which has a calming and decongestant effect and is ideal for the treatment of arthrosis and rheumatism, were already famous in the days of ancient Rome).
A bit northern you’ll find the Island of the Sun - Grado - looking over the Adriatic in Friuli Venezia Giulia frequented at the end of the 19th Century by the upper middle class and Austro-Hungarian nobility, who elected it their favourite health resort.
