Destination spa suggest locations of Italian spas around Piedmont Italy

There are not that many natural thermal spas around Piedmont Italy. The concentrations of them are found further South along the volcanic plateau.

In choosing a spa you should find one that fits your needs. In my case I am always looking for ancient spas that has natural sulphurous caves or what the Italians call Grotta. Coming from Asia these caves fascinates me, additionally taking a sauna in these caves will help me eliminate my allergy problem some day (hopeful). Many Italy spas offers weekday special rates where you can enjoy the use of their facility excluding any special facial or body treatments for a flat daily rate. Weekends are much more expensive.
