San Giuliano Terme

San Giuliano Terme is a municipality in the Province of Pisa situated near natural hot springs that have attracted visitors for centuries. The area has modern wellness centers that continue to use these mineral-rich waters for health treatments and relaxation.

The location was known in Roman times as Aquae Pisanae and served as a popular bathing destination for wealthy visitors. This reputation as a healing place endured for centuries, especially during the Renaissance when noble families built their estates here.

The area is known for its historic villas that reflect how wealthy families lived during the Renaissance, with their decorative frescoes and elegant gardens still visible today. These buildings shape the character of the town and show why affluent merchants from nearby cities chose to settle here centuries ago.

The wellness facilities and thermal baths are easy to reach, and the area is well connected to major Tuscan cities by road and rail. The best time to visit is outside the summer season when crowds are smaller and the weather is more comfortable for exploring the region.

The territory comprises around twenty distinct subdivisions, each with its own character and local history that visitors often miss while focusing on the main thermal centers. These smaller villages and hamlets create a varied landscape that extends the area's appeal beyond just the spa facilities.
