Tuscany thermal baths: Terme di Impruneta
Content
The Terme di Impruneta are located on the Via Cassia, about 12 km south of Florence , in the Falciani district. Anyone looking for a thermal bath here will be disappointed: the historic "Villa delle Terme" is now a rehabilitation clinic. We did not find a public thermal pool for day visitors in 2026.

Location and arrival
Impruneta lies in the hills between Florence and the Chianti region. The Villa delle Terme is not located in the town center, but rather on the ancient Via Cassia in the hamlet of Falciani, within a large park surrounding the historic spring "Antica Cassia." From Florence, you can reach the town via the Via Cassia or the A1 motorway (Firenze Impruneta exit).
Water and applications
The sources of Impruneta
The mineral springs were already known to the Romans. The water is cold and contains salt, bromine, iodine, and sulfur; it was used for drinking cures, baths, and inhalations to treat respiratory, digestive, and skin ailments. A thermal bath with warm outdoor pools, as previously described here, no longer exists in that form.
The Villa delle Terme today
Casa di Cura Villa delle Terme is a rehabilitation clinic with approximately 270 beds. Its main areas of focus are orthopedic, neurological, and cardiorespiratory rehabilitation, as well as outpatient physiotherapy. It is not a destination for vacationers seeking a spa or wellness day.
