What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Bognanco Thermal Baths offer a tranquil, Roman-style spa experience in a quiet town, praised for its serene atmosphere and friendly staff. However, many visitors find the facilities, particularly the limited number of pools and saunas, to be overpriced for the admission cost, suggesting alternatives like Premia Baths for better value.
"Grossly overpriced for what it is.
Don't get me wrong it's not bad, but the price is simply unjustified.
Spa consists of 1 sauna and 1 steam, but the price bump you have to pay to use these facilities is frankly outrageous.
There is only 1 indoor pool, no outdoor.
The place seems to be in a ghost town.
Do yourself a favour and just go to Premia bath if you are in the area"

"Great place to relax.
A coccoon of well being at the heart of a phantasmagoric little town at the bottom of a valley. The environment is blissfully green in spring. Must be amazing in fall season too
Affordable also
Few visitors on weekdays which makes the experience particularly quiet"

"Solid 2 stars.
The place wasn't great, but wasn't terrible either.
The services and facilities are not justifying the near 60€ price for the two of us.
I'm not saying that you should avoid, but consider other options like Bath of Premia (Terme di Premia), where basically can get more for less... Sauna and Jacuzzi was okay. There were just one swimming pool which was also okay. Clean and good temperature. Two stars because I think it was overpriced."
