Itineraries on Lake Garda: Spas

Lake garda is also an important spa resort. After a day of excursions you can relax with a soothing hot bath. Around the spas you can find a wide variety of accommodation.

For centuries it was believed that the thermal and telluric activity around lake Garda was due to Mount Baldo thought to be an old volcano. In fact, the presence of hot springs in the area is caused by a rift in European plate running along northern Italy and responsible also for the spas in Caldiero and Abano Terme.
In Sirmione the hot water comes from the hot spring called Boiola, on the bottom of the Lake Garda in front of Catullus Grotto. During the boat guided tour, if the surface of the lake is still, it is possible to see the bubbles rising from the dark water and feel the typical sulfurous smell. It is not clear whether the romans already knew and used this hot spring. Today Boiola hot water is pumped and distributed in various thermal baths in Sirmion where it is also used for healing purposes especially respiratory system problems.

In Colà, a lovely village on the hills behind Lazise, there is also the spa of Villa dei Cedri, with the huge open air thermal pool in the middle of the beautiful park. Villa dei Cedri resort offers a wide variety of beauty treatments, massages, etc. Around the spa you will find beautiful and charming hotels. The thermal baths are often situated in panoramic spots where you can admire the lake and its hills while relaxing in hot water.
