The Glass House
Strategically set on the historic grounds of Villa Fiori in Ponte a Serraglio, The Glass House will be nestled in one of the most picturesque and storied locations in Bagni di Lucca. Built on a historic site and enveloped by the ancient Park Gardens of Villa Fiori, it is bordered by the gently flowing River Lima. This unique setting creates a naturally serene environment where the continuous murmur of water enhances the tranquility of the space.
Nestled within a graceful bend of the river, The Glass House is poised to become a premier wellness destination resort and exclusive venue. Drawing from the region’s famed natural thermal springs and rich heritage, the project reimagines the original vision of Bagni di Lucca as a vibrant hub of rejuvenation and vitality. With a contemporary interpretation of classic spa traditions, The Glass House aims to restore the town’s reputation as the spa capital of Europe.
The Glass House will offer a welcoming space for congregation and relaxation, whether alone or with friends. Much like the Romans did in their bathhouses, guests will have the opportunity to meet and interact with like-minded people from near and far. The communal bathing pool is thoughtfully designed to calm the mind, lift the spirits, and enrich the soul. Facilities will include thermal pools for hot and cold contrast therapy, a hammam, steam room, and sauna — all crafted to enhance a deeply restorative experience. Ancient rituals, inspired by the world’s oldest philosophies of health and longevity, will offer bespoke healing for the skin, psyche, and soul. In today’s fast-paced world, The Glass House will provide a refreshing opportunity to pause, recharge, and rejuvenate, inviting guests to share these moments of tranquility together.
Adding to its exceptional offerings, The Glass House will feature tennis courts, honoring the town’s connection to professional tennis star Jasmine Paolini, who was born in Bagni di Lucca. Alongside the courts, a stylish outdoor bar will create lively spaces for recreation and socializing in the open air. The layout is thoughtfully designed to maximize the guest experience: the spa occupies the serene lower level, providing a sanctuary for healing and relaxation; the middle level will house the elegant restaurant, serving exquisite cuisine with stunning views; and the top floor will be dedicated to an open-air function space, perfect for events and gatherings under the sky.
