Since 2014, it has formed the municipality of Casciana Terme Lari together with Lari. The thermal baths are located directly in the town center.

Water and applications
The thermal water
Das Wasser sprudelt mit rund 37 °C aus der Quelle und ist kalk- und sulfathaltig. Der Legende nach entdeckte Markgräfin Mathilde von Tuszien die Quelle im 12. Jahrhundert, als sie eine Amsel beobachtete, die sich im dampfenden Wasser erholte. Der Ort hieß lange Bagni di Casciana und trägt seinen heutigen Namen seit 1956.
Pool, rehabilitation and wellness
In addition to the two balneotherapy pools, there is a rehabilitation center offering physiotherapy as well as wellness and cosmetic treatments. The outdoor pool is the main attraction for day visitors: Here you can bathe in warm thermal water under the open sky without having to book a full spa package.
