Terme di Lurisia

Terme di Lurisia sits at Roccaforte Mondovì in Cuneo province, in the foothills of the Maritime Alps in southern Piedmont, Italy. The spa grew up around the Garbarino and Santa Barbara springs, lightly radioactive and oligomineral waters that came to wider fame in the early 20th century, studied for their purity and curative qualities; the brand later lent its name to a well-known mineral water. The setting is one of the spa's defining features: rather than a town-centre establishment, Lurisia is a mountain resort spa among wooded Alpine slopes, giving it a fresh, restorative air well above the southern Piedmont plain. The modern wellness centre combines thermal pools with a wet-zone circuit of sauna, steam room, and emotional showers, alongside a full menu of massages, beauty rituals, and treatments. The waters underpin a tradition of inhalation and respiratory cures, balneotherapy, and hydrotherapy, with the medically oriented thermal programmes recognised within the Italian cure system, while the contemporary spa side serves travellers seeking relaxation rather than treatment. The mood is calm and mountain-facing, suited to combining a wellness break with hiking, cycling, or skiing in the surrounding valleys. Day packages run roughly from 30 to 130 euros depending on whether a visit covers pool and wet-zone access alone or includes guided cures, massages, or longer half-day programmes. Reservation is advised for treatments and inhalation cures, while pool and wellness access is more flexible, and the centre operates through the day with seasonal hours that are worth confirming ahead. For travellers exploring southern Piedmont and the Cuneo valleys, Lurisia offers an Alpine thermal break within reach of Mondovì, the Langhe, and the Maritime Alps, pairing mineral waters and a modern spa with mountain air and the food and wine of the region. Visitors can combine a treatment with walks in the surrounding woods, making the spa a relaxed half-day or longer escape within a wider Piedmont itinerary.
