Gambassi Terme, as its name suggests, enjoys a strategic position to benefit from the thermal waters present in the area.<\/span><\/h2>\n

The source of Pillo<\/em><\/strong>, of Etruscan origin, known since ancient times as the \u201cMontecatini of the poor<\/em>\u201c, since many \u201ccommon\u201d people found in its waters a great benefit, not only for the body, but also for their finances.<\/span><\/p>\n

In summer, many, even from distant places, went to the spring to treat malarial fevers. Why in the summer? It seems that a custom recommended starting the treatment on the May moon.<\/span><\/p>\n

The water in Pillo source<\/strong> is classified as a bromine-iodine water<\/strong>, rich in mineral<\/span> salts, chloride, bicarbonate, sulfate, magnesium, free carbonic acid and is suitable for treating diseases affecting the respiratory and gastrointestinal systems<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The routes<\/h3>\n

Today the thermal baths that give the village its name can be reached through a series of paths immersed in the greenery between Gambassi and Montaione. The Casciani stream<\/strong> is a reference which, before throwing itself into the Elsa river, creates suggestive landscapes, accompanied by the action of man, who for centuries, has used the waters. Ruins of mills, old mule tracks and sources of a now disused aqueduct are the elements that will make your wellness journey unique. <\/span><\/p>\n

Bollori<\/h3>\n

Walking along the paths you can reach the hypothermal spring of the Bollori<\/strong><\/a>. A pool of water at 23 \u00b0 C, made cloudy by the presence of clay.<\/span> It is known by the population as a place for baths and for pet care<\/em>, but not only! Furthermore, this source has a particularity that will make you believe you have arrived somewhere in Iceland. In fact, at the source, you will be able to see a small geyser<\/em>, as well as witnessing gas emissions and jets of warm water, which will make your visit memorable!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t
