Agriturismo Serravalle

Grotta Giusti, the thermal grotto
The Agriturismo Serravalle is located less than 2 km from the world-famous “Grotta Giusti”. Special prices for the thermal areas have been granted to the guests of the agriturismo.

Grotta Giusti Terme is a gift of nature for the benefit of man. From the entrance to the deepest part of the grotto, one enters three different gradually warmer rooms, which according to tradition are called “Paradiso”, “Purgatorio” and “Inferno”.

In Limbo there is a small lake with a constant water temperature of 36°C - in winter and summer. The air temperature also experiences only very small fluctuations in the different seasons: it is around 31°C in the first and gradually increases to a maximum of 34°C in the last cave room with almost 100% humidity. The air pressure in all cave rooms is constant and the same as outside. A natural, not yet fully understood process enables good and effective air exchange. Staying in the grotto is therefore perceived as pleasant and leads to copious sweating, thanks to the high humidity, more than the temperature. The vapors of the mineral-rich thermal water enable a natural “health bath”, purify the entire organism and lead to a general well-being of the entire body.

Giuseppe Verdi described the thermal grotto as the “eighth wonder of the world” in the 19th century, and it still enchants visitors today. The history of the facility begins in 1849, when workers on the Giusti family property accidentally came across hot steam escaping from the earth. During further excavations, they discovered a place that had remained hidden since time immemorial: the grotto. The moderate water temperature immediately suggested that the spring could be used for medicinal purposes. Now, as then, the cave's stalactites create a very special atmosphere. They seem like mysterious shadows from another world. The unreal silence that surrounds the visitor as he moves in the warmth of the mountain, somewhere between paradise, purgatory and inferno, conveys a unique and very personal experience. On the way into the cave the temperature slowly rises to 34 C°. That's why you can easily stay in the steam bath for the full 50 minutes. It eliminates toxins in our body and frees us from the traces of daily stress. The current thermal center is the result of constant innovations that have safely guided it through different lifestyles and fashions, war and peace, tears and laughter. What remains, however, is what forms the core of the entire complex: the thermal grotto; and planning for an indoor thermal swimming pool has been underway since the end of the Second World War.

In addition to the thermal steam bath in the grotto, Grotta Giusti Terme also offers mud therapy, the ozone bath in thermal water, the thermal exercise bath, the massages, the inhalation therapies and a range of individually composed and tailored depending on the characteristics and needs of the individual Applications carried out by highly qualified staff under constant specialist medical supervision.

The Beauty Institute and the Skin Cosmetics Research Center complete the offering with their avant-garde therapies. A special holiday that offers the unique opportunity to strengthen your own organism and take care of yourself in the most effective and pleasant way.
