Venturina’s thermal springs
Venturina’s history is closely connected to the thermal springs in the Caldana area. The properties of these waters were already known to the Etruscans and Romans, as archaeological finds discovered in the area demonstrate.
Today, the thermal waters continue to supply pools, wellness experiences and treatments devoted to health and relaxation. The springs make Venturina an appealing destination not only in summer but also in spring and autumn.
Terme di Venturina
The Terme di Venturina spa is supplied by water from the historic Sorgente Cratere spring and offers thermal pools, treatments and specific therapies.
The facility has an indoor pool filled with warm thermal water and a seasonal outdoor pool surrounded by greenery. Wellness experiences and treatments are also available and may require advance booking.
Anyone interested in spa therapies should contact the facility directly for information about admission procedures, medical requirements, availability and services.
Calidario Terme Etrusche
Calidario Terme Etrusche is one of Venturina’s best-known attractions. The spa complex is built around a natural spring that feeds a large open-air thermal lake.
The naturally warm water offers an opportunity to enjoy a wellness experience surrounded by greenery. The complex also includes an indoor wellness area, relaxation facilities and dining areas.
Calidario is particularly suitable for:
- couples looking for a relaxing day;
- those wishing to combine the seaside with wellness;
- spring or autumn stays;
- special occasions and days devoted to self-care.
Admission, services, entry conditions and availability may vary. Before visiting, it is therefore advisable to consult the official Calidario website and book in advance, particularly at weekends and during busy periods.
Il Parco dei Laghetti
Venturina is about more than thermal baths. Among its green spaces, Parco dei Laghetti stands out for the Fossa Calda waterway that runs through it and its two ponds.
The park attracts migratory birds as well as resident species such as ducks and swans. Its paths offer opportunities for peaceful walks and quiet moments outdoors.
Parco dei Laghetti is a pleasant stop before or after a thermal spa experience, especially for families travelling with children or anyone looking to plan a leisurely day.
To protect the environment, visitors should respect the vegetation, avoid disturbing the animals and leave all used areas clean.
