Grotta Giusti Thermal Spa Resort

The Grotta Giusti Thermal Spa Resort is a restored 19th-century villa nestled in the picturesque Tuscan landscape. The largest thermal cave in Europe forms the heart of this 5-star resort. Surrounded by a centuries-old park, the non-smoking hotel offers a harmonious atmosphere of natural thermal waters, pristine nature, and historic charm. Every detail of the resort, from the spa to the cuisine, is inspired by the poetry and beauty of the Tuscan landscape.

Grotta Giusti is located in Monsummano Terme, surrounded by the authentic beauty of Tuscany. Its central location makes it the perfect starting point to explore the cultural and scenic treasures of the region: from renowned cities like Florence, Lucca, and Pisa to idyllic villages and historic villas.

Refreshments and snacks are made from fresh, local produce. The Herb Garden with all herbs of Mediterranean traditions (basil, parsley, mint, sage, bay and rosemary bushes) and aromatic and medicinal plants provides the basis for infusions, herbal teas, spices for cooking, and flavours for cocktails and summer drinks.

The 3000m² Thermal Spa (10 a.m. - 7 p.m.) offers a captivating retreat inspired by the impressive thermal cave, featuring the Meditarium, Summer Pool Oasi (open from May to September), 11 treatment rooms, cryotherapy, relaxation areas, and a fitness room.

Europe's largest natural thermal cave, the centrepiece of the resort, is a millennia-old marvel stretching over 200 metres underground. Divided into the areas of Paradise, Purgatory, and Hell, it impresses with temperatures ranging from 28°C to 34°C and a crystal-clear, warm lake that consistently offers 36°C. The natural vapours have a detoxifying, soothing effect on the body and mind, boost metabolism, and bring the organism into balance. Guests can enjoy a natural sauna/steam bath for a fee, float in the thermal waters, or participate in activities such as Pilates or diving (basic certification required). Access from age 12, reservation at the hotel.
