Grotta Giusti is a natural paradise on the slopes of Monsummano hill. Immersed in the beauty of the Tuscan countryside, surrounded by the greenery of a centuries-old park, the Grotta Giusti complex is an enchanting and perfectly equipped Spa centre with a feature that makes it unique: the ancient grotto, which envelops the guest in a beneficial and detoxifying thermal steam bath.
Just a few kilometres from Tuscany's most famous cultural cities, Florence, Pisa, Siena and Lucca
Grotta Giusti Spa Hotel has a wide range of facilities for sport and physical exercise. Sport and relaxation in an unparalleled natural environment! A holiday dedicated to relaxation and physical fitness.The splendid swimming pool, the tennis court and the 'Percorso Vita', especially created for open air exercises, are all in the park of the hotel. Inside, the thermal pool tones the legs with the beneficial effects of water containing bicarbonate-calcium-magnesium.
Starting from the entrance through to the deepest part of the Grotta, three different zones are crossed, each one increasing in heat, which tradition has named Paradise, Purgatory and Hell.
Limbo has a picturesque lake, the waters of which maintain a constant temperature, both in winter and summer, of 36°C. Even the temperature of the air undergoes very little change over the seasons, ranging from 31°C. in the first cavity to a maximum 34°C. in Hell, with an approximate 100% humidity.
The atmospheric pressure is constant and the same as outside, in all parts of the Grotta. An unexplained, natural mechanism guarantees a constant and efficient change
of air, making the stay in the Grotta a pleasant one, even with the profuse perspiration induced by the high level of humidity, rather than by the temperature. "The eighth wonder of the world", as described by Giuseppe Verdi during his frequent visits, never ceases to amaze you. The story begins in May 1849 when miners working on the property of the Giusti family discovered, quite by chance, hot steam coming out of the earth. The small opening was made larger to allow them to enter the place which had remained a secret till then: the Grotta. The sweet temperature inside the Grotta gave the owner the happy idea of turning it into a beneficial cure.
Along the years the fascination and the shape of the stalactites and stalagmites, those mysterious, distorted shadows projected in the distance, whilst we move around in the heat of the mountain and the unreal silence between Heaven,Purgatory and Hell, have led us through a unique and extremely personal experience. The temperature, which increases slowly to a maximum of 34° C, creates a "thermal steam bath" which, when taken for a full 50 minutes, eliminates, along with the toxins in our body, all traces of stress. Continuous innovations have brought the wellbeing centre to its present state through ways and means, wars and armistices, smiles and tears, keeping intact the one thing where everything began..... and already towards the end of the second world war, we find traces of a project to build an outdoor thermal pool.
Set in a private park with secular trees, the early nineteenth century villa.
Immersed in the park are the fresh water swimming pool, tennis court and fitness walk with further trekking courses for excursions in the surrounding countryside. And, just a few kilometres from Grotta Giusti, an 18 hole golf course.
