The waters from about sixty natural springs of different chemical compositions and therapeutic properties, are collected every day and put through sophisticated equipment to obtain the best of those components useful in the prevention and treatment of many illnesses. Sixty sources of well-being that flow into the big thermal pool, bubble in the therapeutic pools and the hydro massages, permeate the curative mud, and become vapours which are beneficial for inhalant treatments. They are, along with precious herbs, essential components of the line of products of the Riolo baths, which are optimal for beauty treatments.
Particularly indicated for the respiratory system, the waters of the Riolo baths are ideal for relaxation therapies and beauty treatments. Immersed in a luxurious park, the well-equipped therapeutic and Beauty Centre are the perfect union of modern technology and the most natural treatments.
The principle methods of treatment are:
Acqua Breta: sulphurous mineral water, bicarbonate-sulphate-alkaline-earthy, one of the most balanced Italian sulphurous waters.
Acque Margherita e Vittoria: salsobromoiodic water with small quantities of hydrogen sulphide. The Vittoria also contains notable amounts of magnesium, in addition to a high concentration of sodium chloride
Acqua Salsoiodica: sodium chloride, bromine and iodine-based waters
Fango: the virgin mud of Riolo spontaneously emerges, pushed by gas, right near the baths, already mixed with mineral water.
The pavilions for the treatment of the respiratory system are the heart of the Terme di Riolo. Another important feature is the otorhinolaryngology and deafness centre. Another very particular feature is the centre for children known as “Terme Bimbo”. This very modern structure hosts the big thermal pool, the rehabilitation pool maintained at a constant temperature of 33°, the area for mud baths and massages, the relaxation rooms, the bar, and the commercial gallery. The treatment cycle goes from 6 days to 12 days, and the programs can include beauty services, facial and body treatments and body programs.
