Acqui Terme

Acqui Terme is a historic thermal spa town in the southern Monferrato hills, in the province of Alessandria. It is famous above all for its sulphurous hot springs — La Bollente, which surges at around 75°C right in the town centre — and for a bathing tradition reaching back to Roman Aquae Statiellae. Alongside its spas and mud treatments it has a medieval and Renaissance old quarter, good wine and a lively evening passeggiata.

Things to do

Guided walk of thermal Acqui & La Bollente

A guide-led stroll through Acqui's thermal heart. The centrepiece is La Bollente, the sulphurous spring flowing non-stop at about 74.5°C from an octagonal 1879 marble fountain — free to visit and the town's meeting point. Themed itineraries also trace Roman Aquae Statiellae, taking in the amphitheatre and the calidarium of the ancient baths. Arranged through the IAT tourist office.

Lago delle Sorgenti — bathe in the thermal spring

In the Bagni district across the Bormida, the Lago delle Sorgenti is Acqui's most distinctive wellness venue: uniquely, you bathe directly in the natural thermal spring water rather than a treated pool, pairing an outdoor thermal lake and pools with a wellness centre for a full spa day. Confirm current opening and prices with the venue or the IAT office.

€250 (1–2 people)

Private Piedmontese cooking class at Giarvino

A private, hands-on cooking class at a boutique guest house on a vineyard estate in the Moirano hamlet above Acqui Terme. Guided by the house chef, guests plan a menu and make Piedmontese classics such as tajarin, gnocchi and agnolotti, plus vitello tonnato and hazelnut cake, then sit down to the three-course meal they prepared. From €250 for one or two participants, supplement per extra person.

Terme di Acqui — thermal cures, mud therapy & spa

Acqui Terme's official thermal establishment draws on two natural hot-spring sources. The flagship is fangoterapia (thermal mud therapy), prized for its analgesic, muscle-relaxing effects, alongside inhalation treatments, vascular hydro-gymnastics and a monumental 1932 thermal pool. Cures are bookable through the Terme; confirm current availability before booking.
