The Sirmione spa has two very modern wellness centres, the Virgilio spa and the Catullo and Aquaria spa. In addition to the benefits of the spa, the Sirmione wellness center also offers a phenomenal setting for an unforgettable holiday. 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.


In 1946, advanced therapies such as endotympanic insufflation began to be introduced in Sirmione, but it was after the Second World War that the spa reached its peak, a success that is still present today!
