In
the zone between Riolo Terme and Brisighella there is a fascinating
connection between the often evocative aspect of the landscapes
and the abundance of springs of curative waters. The therapeutic
effects of these waters were first documented in the 15th century,
and today Brisighella and Riolo are modern, sophisticated spa centres.
Riolo Spa, set around a central nucleus in Liberty style, offers
extensive services: the Spa Centre is equipped with a saline-bromine
water swimming pool, a vascular itinerary, water jets for massage
and treatments with mud that emerges spontaneously from the salse
or mini-volcanoes of Bergullo. In the Medical-Beauty Centre you
are offered personalised programmes for face and body as well as
dietary check-ups.
In the Natural Methodologies Centre you can
benefit from therapies such as hay and aromatic flower baths, aromatherapy,
clay-packs, phytotherapy steam baths, Shiatsu, plantar reflexology,
rebalancing and Watzu. At the Grand Hotel Terme, which is an integral
part of the centre, guests can complete their curative programme
with a diet based on a personalised organic menu.
Those who wish to take advantage of the medicinal properties of
spring water in a more isolated and intimate context can go to
the Brisighella Spa which offers among other things treatments
with aerosol, atomizer and humage. There are also special departments
for the cure of rhinogenous deafness, respiratory ailments and
disturbances of the locomotory apparatus.
An ideal itinerary of well-being may be rounded off at the Riolo
Golf & Country Club where the highly technical 18 hole course
stands on more than 200 hectares of uncontaminated nature. Hotel
accommodation is attentive and diversified with valid offers not
only for spa tourism (personalised menus are supplied for those
taking a cure) but also for trade fairs, school trips and sportspeople.
Bike Hotels offer services and information useful to the tour cyclist.
And it is precisely the bicycle that may be considered the best
way of exploring these lands: there are many itineraries suited
to various needs and with varying levels of difficulty, some of
them especially stimulating for mountain bike enthusiasts.
