SPA AND "O SOLE MIO"
Thermal waters have been used for hydrotherapeutic purposes in the Mediterranean region since ancient times as can be seen from archaeological finds, literary writings and numerous epigraphs. These treatments have, for the most part, been left unaltered over twenty-four centuries since the age of the ancient Greek philosophers, through various historical periods, and with the exception of the introduction of advanced technology. Hippocrates was a great believer in the use of thermal spas and in his treaty "Use of Liquids" he sang the praises of the properties of mineral waters and hot springs.
As time went by, use of the experimental method led to an innovative approach in using thermal waters for therapeutic purposes and new treatments being introduced.
So, after spending a busy day visiting Rome, Florence, Milan, Venice outstanding, shopping malls and luxurious hotels, take a break and immerse yourself in any of the city's world class spas. With an exotic menu of mystical treatments and therapies, this experience will truly be an unforgettable one.
Furthermore the advantage of these treatments is not only linked to the waters' curative properties but also to the beauty and natural attractions that are a general characteristic of Italian spas. The idea of treatment also being a means of recovering energy and physical well-being is quite rightly connected to the idea of a holiday resort and intelligent use of leisure time.
And, from water to water, please visit our Mediterranean Sea with its "O sole mio" in order to make much more interesting your stay in Italy!
