Terme Luigiane Acquappesa

Acquappesa, in the Pollino mountains of northern Calabria in southern Italy, is a small community in the rugged Calabrian Apennines bordering the Tyrrhenian Sea whose sulfurous springs have been used since Roman times, drawing visitors to the remote mountain setting of the Terme Luigiane whose waters emerge at temperatures between 25 and 40 degrees Celsius from the geological formations of the Calabrian mountain zone. Terme Luigiane Acquappesa draws on highly sulfurous mineral waters from the geological resources of the Calabrian Apennine volcanic zone, renowned throughout Southern Italy for their exceptional hydrogen sulfide content — among the highest concentrations of sulfur in any Italian thermal water — offering thermal bathing within a long Italian thermal tradition. The pristine Pollino National Park wilderness accessible from the Acquappesa mountain zone, the traditional Calabrian cuisine of nduja spiced salumi, bergamot citrus, and the extraordinary Calabrian red onion of Tropea, and the Tyrrhenian coast resort towns of the Calabrian Riviera accessible below the mountain spa create a richly natural and gastronomically distinctive backdrop for thermal wellness in the remote Calabrian Apennines.
