The Sirmione spa has two very modern wellness centres, the Virgilio spa and the Catullo and Aquaria spa.

Developed on a peninsula of Lake Garda, Sirmione has long been known for its extraordinary location and mild climate.


The first wellness center in the area was inaugurated in 1900 and in 1921 the "Società Terme e Grandi Alberghi di Sirmione" was founded to expand and improve the spa facilities.
