Thermal Springs of Montepulciano www.termemontepulciano.it
The treaty "de Thermis" by Andrea Bacci edited in 1571 contains several passages on the sulfur springs that flow in S. Albino di Montepulciano. The establishment "Terme di Montepulciano" was set up in 1966 with the objective of utilizing, in a rational and scientific way, the therapeutic properties of these sulfur waters and the "salsobromoidiche" (containing sodium chloride, bromide, iodide) present in the subsoil specializing in the cure of respiratory pathologies and those of the skin. The thermal center is equipped with "Scottish baths" (alternating hot and cold showers); vapor showers; pools; toning and moisturizing or relaxing treatments; hydro massage; hand massage; lynfo drainage; mud masks; facial masks; massages; and moisturizing, toning, and purifying treatments; and other treatments, for the health and care of the body.
Chianciano, well known since the times of the Etruscans for its beneficial waters, is still today an extremely important reference point in the Italian thermal scene. Thanks to its springs, "Santa", "Fucoli", and "Sillene", the center is able to provide mineral water treatments that have detoxicating, curative, and diuretic properties. Hand in hand with traditional treatments, this thermal center offers innovative esthetic, therapeutic, back-in-shape treatments, making use of medical equipment and highly qualified specialists.
