Halfway between the city center and Pian della Fioba, San Carlo Terme is a hillside community famous for its thermal waters, whose history dates back to Roman times, when people were already benefiting from their healing properties. During the Renaissance, the bishop of Milan, Carlo Borromeo, benefited from the waters in the area, helping to consolidate the importance of the hot springs.
Today, the San Carlo Terme spa, created in the 1930s, is open only during certain months of the year and is one of the main centers for hydropinic cures, a therapy that involves the administration of thermal water through drinks to treat specific organic dysfunctions.
In fact, the water is suitable for treating: diseases of the urinary system, digestive problems, disorders related to aging and problems related to pregnancy. What makes St. Charles water unique is its high oxygen concentration, low mineralization and low sodium content, which is also ideal for those who practice sports. In addition to treatments related to its waters, the spa is ideal for those who want to relax, practice yoga, and devote themselves to caring for their bodies through massages and various wellness services.
