Bagni di Lucca was a true elite destination of European tourism before the coastal boom made this corner of Lucca, which the English called the 'Switzerland of Tuscany', forget about it. The Anglo-Saxons were the first to discover Bagni di Lucca and the therapeutic properties of its waters, and they loved it so much that they turned it into a little second home. In fact, the town became - and even today traces of this resplendent British explosion can be seen - an exclusive meeting place for nobility and diplomats from all over Europe, accredited to the court of Lucca and the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, as well as a destination for illustrious guests, such as the poets Byron, Shelley, Lever, Giusti, Monti and then in the twentieth century Carducci, Pascoli and Montale; writers such as Dumas and musicians such as Strauss, Listz, Paganini, Puccini, Mascagni; politicians and rulers such as the Napoleonides, Queen Margherita, D'Azeglio, Galeazzo Ciano; religious figures such as San Luigi Gonzaga, Santa Gemma Galgani and even Popes such as Sixtus IV and V. *** SERVICES The centre of the town enjoys all the services needed to spend the whole year there. The 19 thermal springs that flow from the slopes of Colle di Corsena are still particularly attractive. In addition to the classic thermal treatments, it is also possible to combine physical, massofiochinesiterapic, recreational and sports therapies: all in an environment that maintains the charm of the exclusive 19th-century spa.
