If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Salice Terme, you can shape the character of your stay around the cycle path, spa park, thermal waters, family attractions and local history. The thermal facilities in Salice Terme are currently being renovated – an important point to consider when planning your trip.

Spa resort between the Staffora stream and the Apennines

Salice Terme is a spa resort set in natural surroundings at an altitude of around 167 metres, on the first foothills of the Apennines. The town lies between the hills of San Bartolomeo and Nazzano, on the left bank of the Staffora stream. The historic spa park complements this landscape with old trees and shady avenues. Here you will find space to relax, walk and exercise. For a holiday with a changing pace, Salice Terme therefore offers both peaceful moments in the park and a distinctive natural setting.

Thermal waters and spa tradition

At the heart of Salice Terme lies the Fonte Sales, which is easy to reach. Regardless of the weather conditions outside, its sulphurous water generally has a constant temperature of around 10 to 14°C. Only when outdoor temperatures remain below freezing for an extended period in January or February does the temperature fall to around 8°C. The water of the Fonte Sales was the first water in Italy in which iodine was discovered and the first mineral water to be officially used in medicine. The Terme di Salice have a thermal pool with a vascular circuit, waterfalls and hydromassage facilities; at the same time, the thermal facilities are currently being renovated.

Greenway for cycling and walking excursions

The Voghera–Varzi Greenway is a combined cycle and walking path. The flat section connects Voghera with Salice Terme, while the hillier section runs through the Staffora Valley to Varzi. The first 14 kilometres of the Voghera–Salice Terme section are predominantly flat. The different route profiles help you plan an excursion according to your personal preferences. SalicEbike bicycle rental offers e-bikes year-round by reservation, for half a day, a full day or several days. When choosing your holiday apartment, you can therefore consider whether you would prefer to shape your stay around quiet hours in the spa park or active days of cycling.

Family experience and distinctive local history

For families looking for a special activity, the UP 2 TREE facility in Parco Avventura Salice Terme offers a tree-climbing attraction reaching up to 16 metres above the ground. The churches also give Salice Terme a distinctive historical profile: the Natività di Maria Vergine can be traced back to around the year 1000 and was initially run by Benedictines and later by Dominicans. The church dedicated to Cristo Re was built in 1939. In the same year, Salice Terme became an independent parish; Cristo Re is the patron saint of the town (8 September).

A literary trail leads to the spa park. The poet Ada Negri spent several seasons in Salice Terme and wrote some of her finest verses beneath the oak tree that still stands there and bears her name. At the Salice Terme information point, you can obtain tourist information and assistance, directions and printed information and promotional materials. This helps you decide on the focus of your stay and choose suitable accommodation in the town.
