The Best Spas in Italy

Going to the spa has been part of the Italian lifestyle since ancient Rome, when people would meet at the naturally occurring thermal springs on a daily basis. Spas are still an important part of Italian culture, and these spas are among the best with lavish treatments available, from a Cipriani gold facial and hand treatment that uses 24 karat gold, to drifting away in a thermal cave filled with therapeutic saltwater, or receiving a pampering garden massage where you can relax among gardens of terraced flowers. No matter which you choose, you will receive the most luxurious care at all of these top spas.
