Italian spa culture has grown enormously since the 2000s. 'Terme' (thermal spas) have been part of Italian wellness since Roman times — towns like Montecatini Terme, Saturnia, and Abano Terme have natural thermal springs. Hotel wellness centres in these areas are often connected to natural thermal water systems.
