Terme di Lurisia

Terme di Lurisia is a spa and mineral-water resort at Lurisia, in the municipality of Roccaforte Mondovì, in the foothills of the Maritime Alps near Cuneo in Piedmont. It is reached from Turin by car, or by train and bus, and works as a half-day excursion from the city. Lurisia is known across Italy for its mineral water, which is bottled locally, and the thermal tradition here is tied to the same springs. The setting is a quiet hillside resort rather than a large urban wellness centre, with a calmer, more traditional feel than the city spas. Reported services include thermal baths, water treatments and massages. A detailed treatment menu, signature rituals and information on therapist training have not been published in the sources available, so none are claimed here. Visitors interested in a particular therapy should ask the spa directly. The complex is reported to operate seasonally, and hours have not been verified, so confirming opening dates before travelling is essential. Prices are available on request. The usual norm for a thermal resort of this type is to reserve baths and massages in advance, particularly at weekends and in the high season, and to check whether medical referral or consultation is needed for particular water treatments. A visit generally lasts about half a day, which allows time for a thermal session, a massage and a meal in the resort area. The route from Turin to Cuneo province is straightforward, and combining the trip with the nearby town of Mondovì or a walk in the hills makes a full day. Visitors should bring a swimsuit and a towel unless told otherwise, and confirm what is provided. People with heart conditions, low blood pressure, skin sensitivities or pregnancy should check with staff or a doctor whether thermal treatments suit them.
