Sirmione
Sulphurous water at 69°C rising from the lake bed, famous for its healing properties.
Overview
The Thermal Baths of Sirmione are fed by mineral-rich sulfurous water containing salt, bromine, and iodine, which emerges from the Boiola spring located on the lake bed at a depth of 19 meters. The water rises naturally at an impressive temperature of 69°C and has been recognized since ancient times for its remarkable therapeutic properties. This unique geothermal resource has made Sirmione one of Lake Garda’s most sought-after wellness destinations, attracting visitors from across Europe who seek both healing and relaxation.

Two outstanding thermal establishments—Catullo and Virgilio—operate at the site, offering specialized treatments for ear, nose, and throat conditions, as well as dermatological and rheumatic complaints. Beyond medical treatments, both facilities provide comprehensive wellness programs and spa experiences designed to rejuvenate body and mind. Whether you’re visiting for therapeutic reasons or simply seeking a luxurious spa experience, these facilities combine ancient healing traditions with modern comfort and expertise.

Practical Information
For the best visit, we recommend booking your treatments in advance, particularly during weekends and holiday periods when demand is highest.
