The divine waters of Salvarola Terme
The Terme della Salvarola are among the best natural thermal baths in northern Italy, thanks to their “divine” waters. This is how Dr. Giovanni Battista Moreali referred to them in the 18th century, prescribing them to his patients as a treatment for various conditions. The mineral springs have been known since Roman times and were frequented by figures such as Matilde di Canossa and the Este family.
Nestled in the green hills of Modena, in the Salvarola Terme area, within the municipality of Sassuolo, the thermal facility is frequented by those seeking a natural treatment for various respiratory, joint, or skin conditions, as well as those simply looking for a relaxing getaway and well-being.
The thermal baths also feature a multifunctional outpatient clinic and a physiotherapy center specializing in rehabilitation with thermal water, where various conditions are treated by qualified professionals and specialists.
The salsobromoiodic water of Terme della Salvarola is primarily used for baths, inhalations, mud treatments, and hydromassages.
