About Grotta Giusti Resort Golf & Spa
Surrounded by a landscaped park in the heart of the Tuscan countryside, the Grotta Giusti Resort Golf & Spa lies near the mountains of Monsummano, Italy. The restored nineteenth-century villa, which houses a hotel, a restaurant, and a spa, is oriented around a natural cave with an underground lake that is renowned for its restorative healing powers. Discovered over 150 years ago, the cave, with three distinct zones of heat, is at the heart of the Grotta Giusti experience.

The spectacular natural thermal cave, or the Grotta, is the focal point of the spa. It is divided into different zones that are experienced as increasingly hot, though this is due to the degree of humidity rather than an actual variation in temperature. Paradise, the least humid, and thus the least hot, is the starting point. Purgatory, sometimes called Limbo, features a picturesque lake whose waters maintain a constant temperature of 96 degrees. Spa-goers generally spend the most time in the third area, known as Hell, where the humidity is 100 percent; detoxifying through perspiration. The cave is also known for its interesting stalactite and stalagmite formations.
Grotta Giusti features complete medical services. A staff dietitian will discuss your specific nutrition needs and goals, and you can elect other procedures including a medical-check-up, a postural analysis, a dermatologic consultation, and a stress test. During the Sounds of the Mind, a new treatment at the spa, a medical team analyzes your brain frequencies and transfers them onto a personal musical C.D. Grotta Giusti also offers the latest in anti-aging therapies that include several types of chemical peels and a microdermolift with Vitamin C or AHA. The spa has a new department for Oriental Medicine.
Guests can use the fitness center with cardio equipment, work out with a personal trainer, or take a group class (yoga, weight training, and more.) If you want to combine exercise with adventure, you can go rock climbing in the Grotto or swim in the underground lake.
