Tuscany thermal baths: Terme della Versilia

The Terme della Versilia thermal baths are located in Cinquale, a seaside resort in the municipality of Montignoso (province of Massa-Carrara), just steps from the sea. The baths belong to the Hotel Villa Undulna and utilize saline-bromine-iodine thermal water and mud from the peat of Lake Massaciuccoli. In addition to hotel guests, day visitors can also enjoy the pools through day spa packages.

Location and arrival

Cinquale lies on the Versilia coast between Marina di Massa to the north and Forte dei Marmi to the south; the Apuan Alps rise behind it. The thermal baths are located on Viale Marina, directly on the beach promenade.

• Car: via the A12 coastal motorway, exits Massa or Versilia; the hotel offers parking spaces and a garage.
• Train: The nearest train stations are Massa Centrale and Forte dei Marmi-Seravezza-Querceta on the Pisa–La Spezia line; from there you can continue by taxi or bus.
• Flight: The airport Pisa is the nearest major airport.

Water and applications

Thermal water and mud

The water is rich in salt, bromine, and iodine, and contains a high concentration of minerals. It is traditionally used to treat respiratory, musculoskeletal, and skin conditions. A special feature is the fango, for which peat from the nearby Lake Massaciuccoli is used. Because the sea and thermal waters are so close together, the spa combines thermal treatments and thalassotherapy.

Wellness and Day Spa

The facilities include thermal and whirlpool pools, a Kneipp path, sauna, steam room, massages, and cosmetic treatments. Day visitors can book packages that combine access to the pools with massage, wellness area use, or meals. The thermal baths opened in the 1990s and are closely linked to the hotel – medical treatments are offered through the spa.
