From 1773 the Montecatini spa waters are famous worldwide for

have confirmed the therapeutic qualities of these waters.

The beneficial qualities of the
Montecatini Spa water are used together with the most up to
date aesthetical, beauty, and general well-being treatments.
The treatment packages include one, three, or seven day
programs, giving the possibility even to the busiest people to
dedicate some of their time to their well-being and their
beauty.
The name of this spa bath, discovered in 1370, comes -
according to the legend - from the small roof that the
peasants placed above the spring for shelter. In the 18th
century the Tuscan Grand-Duke Leopoldo ordered the
construction of the first spa bath, whose façade is today a
national monument. The other wonderful structures were made in
the '20s by Ugo Giovannozzi, the architect renowned for his
Art Nouveau works. The Tettuccio springs are a concentrate of
beauty given thanks to the artwork of artists of the time:
Basilio Cascella decorated with majolica, marble and
travertine the Water Gallery; Carlo G. Moroni and the Artist
Galileo Chini decorated the reading room and the post and
telegraph room, and Maria Biseo frescoed the café walls with
Tuscan and Umbrian landscapes. The orchestra stand was done by
Giovannozzi while the new hall was done in 1989 by the
architect Paolo Portoghesi. The Tettuccio baths are more than
just a name, they are a symbol of the town and of its glorious
past.
The traditional thermal
treatment of the liver, digestive tract and metabolism
disorders, is now supported by modern and appropriate
tecniques of preventive medicine and rehabilitation wich are
suitable for rheumatic, post-traumatic and joint affections.
Modern and luxurious thermal centers offer a wide range of
therapies: water drinking,baths, mud-baths, thermal pool,
inhalations, beautycare, gynaecological treatment,
physiotherapy, medical gymnastics, massages.
The natural sweat-caves in Monsummano Terme (few minutes away
from the villa too) represent a valuable complementary
therapeutic facility.
The town's large parks, covering a 500.000 s.q. metre area,
garantee full relaxation, help find a better psyco-physical
balance, and obtain a true "remise en forme"
The Panteraie natural park (few minutes away from the villa),
with its 12 hectares of forests is an uncontaminated natural
setting, with centuries-old trees, which offers relaxation,
tranquillity and fine, fresh air. The park is crises-crossed
by "life paths", created according to rigorous
clinical criteria in order to combine the benefits of exercise
with those of the spa treatments.
