Grotta Giusti
Monsummano Terme cradles an incredible miracle of nature.
The heart of the mountain that soars above this charming town hides fantastic natural cavities that release steam and hot water endowed with exclusive therapeutic properties. The simplicity of their components is thus turned into a rich opportunity for well-being and health.
One of these grottos, the Grotta Parlanti, known since the 18th century, offers a unique hot spring located more than 110 meters deep inside the mountain and is characterized by a constant temperature of 32°C.
Grotta Giusti, which now hosts a renowned spa resort, was discovered by accident when excavations were carried out in 1849 in the neighborhood of the estate owned by satiric poet Giuseppe Giusti. This fortuitous circumstance revealed a natural grotto characterized by stalactites and stalagmites. The fame of its ‘steam baths’ soon spread beyond Italian borders, and many outstanding personalities of the time began spending their vacations at the Royal Thermal Establishment of Grotta Giusti. Even Garibaldi, in 1867, had an opportunity to test the healthy properties of the thermal grottos in Monsummano. In 1800, on the wake of the great success scored by these thermal establishments, the Royal Hotel was built, which hosted, among others, the Prince of Naples and Giuseppe Verdi.
