Veneto is a generous land, where nature has decided to give well -being in the form of thermal waters. Among the sweet hills and cities of art, authentic relaxation temples are hidden, many of which agreement with the National Health Service (SSN). At the structures that we will see soon you can create therapeutic treatments at reduced costs or, in some cases, free of charge, thanks to specific conventions. Before entering specifically with the part on the thermal structures of the Veneto, we must make a small premise and get to know better the division of the Italian spas.
Terme: free, private or affiliated?
When we talk about spas, we immediately think of swimming pools of hot water, beneficial vapors and that pleasant feeling of “being elsewhere”, even for a day. But if you enter a little, it turns out that the thermal world has its rules, its categories and – why not – its tricks to enjoy everything at its best, even without spending a fortune.
In Italy the spas are divided into three large families: free, private and affiliated. A bit like the three degrees of comfort: from wild nature to luxury from the wellness center, passing through a middle ground that makes the body happy and the wallet.
The free spas: pure nature, without frills
Here we play outdoors, in close contact with the mumbled land. The free spas are natural pools, without structures around, accessible to everyone and – rarely these days – completely free. The thermal water flows directly from the subsoil, often in the middle of woods and little beaten valleys. It is an experience that has the flavor of adventure and authenticity: no beds, no music in the background, only the sound of water and the breath of nature.
The private spas
The private spas are those well -structured centers, often inside hotels and resorts, where every detail is designed to make the customer relax. Access is paid, of course, but the offer is decidedly rich: guests will have thermal pools, sensory paths, sludge, massages, aesthetic treatments, perfumed herbal teas served in a bathrobe and everything you need to forget about stress and remember themselves. The cost varies, even much, depending on the place and services included.
The affiliated spas
And here we are at the third way, the most interesting one for those looking for not only relaxation, but also a concrete benefit for health. The affiliated spas are those private structures that have entered into an agreement with the National Health Service. Translated: you can access certain treatments by paying only the health ticket – or nothing, if you are entitled to exemption – as long as you present a doctor’s recipe.
In this case we cannot speak of simple well -being, given the therapeutic nature of some paths: mud therapy, bathing therapy, inhalation treatments, all under careful medical supervision, with qualified personnel. The indications usually concern rheumatic, respiratory, dermatological pathologies: those who suffer, for example, of arthrosis, sinusitis, chronic bronchitis and circulatory problems, can obtain great benefits from these cycles of care.
