Terme di San Giuliano is located in San Giuliano Terme in the Province of Pisa in Tuscany, at the foot of the Monte Pisano between Pisa and Lucca, where sulphurous thermal springs have been used since ancient times and were particularly celebrated in the 18th and 19th centuries when Romantic poets including Shelley and Byron sought therapeutic bathing and inspiration in this cultivated Tuscan thermal resort. The sulphurous mineral composition of San Giuliano's thermal waters carries properties recognized in Italian balneological practice for skin conditions, respiratory wellness, and the circulatory and bactericidal effects of sulphurous mineral bathing in the tradition of Tuscan thermal medicine established across this region since Roman times. The location between Pisa—with its Campo dei Miracoli and Leaning Tower—and Lucca's perfectly preserved Renaissance city walls enclosing a medieval cityscape of towers, churches, and piazzas, frames Terme di San Giuliano within some of the most culturally concentrated Romanesque and Gothic architectural heritage in all of Tuscany.

Insider tip — Terme di San Giuliano occupies a neoclassical establishment at the foot of Monte Pisano, just north of Pisa, where Shelley and Byron once took the waters. Sulfurous springs at 36°C were fashionable among the Romantic-era Grand Tourists and remain popular for respiratory and dermatological treatments. The mild temperature makes extended soaks comfortable. From the hillside terraces you can glimpse the Arno plain stretching toward the Leaning Tower.
