San Giuliano Terme, which in the past was called Acquae Pisanae or Bagni di Pisa, is just 7 kilometres from Pisa. The Romans were already familiar with the properties of its water (Pliny the Elder mentioned the town in one of his works), and in the 19th century many celebrated men of letters spent their Tuscan holidays in this corner of the province of Pisa. In San Giuliano the water gushes out of the ground at a temperature of 38°/40° C.
Vico Pisano and Uliveto are about 20 kilometres from Pisa. Uliveto is widely renowned in Italy not only for the presence of a spring of thermal water.
At the end of our bird`s eye view of the thermal resorts in the province of Pisa, here we are in Casciana, which in the past was called Acqui and Bagni di Casciana. The town lies on the hills between Parlascio and Vivaia, about 35 kilometres from Pisa. The legend goes that it was Matilda of Canossa - a powerful dame who lived between the 11th and the 12th centuries - who discovered the beneficial properties of its water, which gushes out of the ground at 36°/37° C.
