HomeTravel ResourcesThe Thermal Baths of Lake Garda

The thermal pools in this area of Italy date back to Roman times. That’s because the thermal sources on Lake Garda were known for the properties of their waters, and many people came from nearby and distant cities of the Empire to enjoy the mild climate and benefits: salus per aquam, after all, is a Latin motto even if it was invented and used today!

The abundance of thermal sources allows for the discovery of thermal pools in many locations on Lake Garda, where it is possible to regain wellness and vitality in just one day or over a weekend – thanks to the healing properties of the water and periodic discounts on entrance and treatments.

The spa center of Aquaria

Among the most famous, there are certainly the thermal centers of Sirmione, and among all of them, the Aquaria Thermal Baths stand out. For a wellness stay, Aquaria offers much more than just thermal treatments. Located on the tip of the Sirmione peninsula, the center is a magical place of beauty and health, with sources of salt-bromine-iodine and sulfur waters, which come from the earth at around 69°C, to provide relief for many respiratory, rheumatic, and dermatological conditions. Even for those seeking a beauty elixir, the Catullo, Virgilio, and Boiola (from Monte Baldo) sources allow for the enjoyment of mud and balneotherapy, relaxing baths in the pools.

There are two spas, flanked by the Aquaria Thermal SPA wellness center where you can also find beauty treatments, massages, and a spectacular view of Lake Garda.

These thermal baths, among the largest in Italy, also allow you to go on excursions to the nearby Grotte di Catullo, an archaeological complex of a truly fascinating villa built in Roman times.

Perfect for those seeking a oasis of wellness and nature, they allow you to enjoy the mineral water that comes from two specific aquifers, located in the Thermal Park of the 18th-century Villa dei Cedri; they flow from a depth of about 200 meters, the sources of bicarbonate-calcium-magnesium water used to purify the kidneys, treat rheumatic and dermatological conditions. Water that can also be drunk!

Caesius Terme in Bardolino

This time we enter a hotel, the Caesius Terme, which on the shores of Lake Garda welcomes visitors with a noteworthy thermal program. It offers the treatments of its high-profile Hotel SPA, equipped with thermal water pools, pools, and a wellness center. 

The source that arrives directly at the Caesius originates from Monte Baldo, and reserves the wellness of oligomineral thermal waters for exotic treatments, such as ayurvedic treatments. Here you can follow hydropinic therapies for the kidneys, inhalation therapies for the respiratory system, and rehabilitation treatments at the motor level in the pool.

Giunone thermal baths

In Caldiero, in the Veronese hinterland, these thermal baths are located, which offer not only wellness treatments based on mineral waters, but also entertainment offers. Starting from the thermal treatments, this center is recommended for those seeking hypotermic waters, bicarbonate-sulfate-calcium-magnesium that can also be drunk. In the ancient secular park, you can find the two stone pools dating back to the Middle Ages, immersed in a small wooded area, the Brentella and the Cavalla, and are only accessible in the summer.

Another 6 pools of the Giunone Thermal Baths are instead dedicated to the entertainment of children, equipped with slides and attractions like in water parks. There is also a new facility with a small naturalistic oasis:, a pond, a small hill, and some sports fields in the surroundings.

Thermal baths in Comano

Heading up the Trentino shore, about 25 km, the thermal baths on Lake Garda transform in terms of water.

Well-being can be enjoyed in the outdoor pool or in the small pool for children, and even in the saltwater pool where there are umbrellas and sun loungers. The concept is to combine a wellness center, aesthetic and fitness treatments, and also medical services, with the Garda Thermae Medical SPA: an innovative specialized polyclinic, authorized by the Autonomous Province of Trento, which treats the rehabilitations of the musculoskeletal system, with psychological support to improve the patient’s quality of life.
