There are places where science meets the art of living, where every detail has been designed not just for comfort, but to bring out the best in you. Nestled in the
A jewel of history in the heart of Emilia-Romagna
Located in Castrocaro Terme e Terra del Sole, an enchanting medieval village in the heart of the Tuscan-Romagnolian Apennines, the clinic’s location already tells a story. The eight-hectare estate offers a soothing environment, where contemporary architecture blends harmoniously with Castrocaro’s historic heritage.
This region of Emilia-Romagna, renowned for its age-old spa traditions, offers a setting naturally conducive to regeneration. The hot springs that have bubbled up from this land since ancient times create a unique microclimate, while the surrounding hills create a soothing landscape, far from the hustle and bustle of urban life. Access is easy from all major Italian cities, with Florence just an hour’s drive away, allowing guests to quickly immerse themselves in this wellness interlude.
Accommodations designed for regeneration
The suites, ranging in size from 50 to 55 square meters, combine comfortable bedrooms and elegant living rooms, equipped with all modern conveniences to ensure maximum comfort. Each space has been designed according to the principles of the Long Life Formula®, creating an atmosphere where contemporary design and functionality combine to promote deep relaxation.
Attention to detail is evident in every element: light therapy adapted to circadian rhythms, natural materials chosen for their soothing properties, ergonomics designed to optimize rest. Large bay windows open onto the surrounding gardens or hills, providing a constant connection with nature outside.
This philosophy of therapeutic living transforms each suite into a cocoon of regeneration, where the stay becomes an integral part of the wellness process. The muffled, timeless ambience naturally invites you to slow down, preparing your mind for the benefits of the treatments to come.
Well-being: the Long Life Formula® in practice
The Lucia Magnani Health Clinic works on the three spheres of longevity science : prevention, well-being and beauty, with the aim of living longer, healthier and more balanced lives. The Long Life Formula® method has shaped a specific wellness and spa pathway, formulated to meet each person’s individual needs and goals.
This personalized approach begins with a comprehensive assessment, including analysis of oxidative stress– a veritable revolution in the understanding of cellular aging. The protocols we have developed enable us to identify imbalances before they even occur, paving the way for active prevention rather than mere reaction.
A clear medical method
Long Life Formula® is based on a simple observation: cellular aging is accelerated by oxidative stress (imbalance between free radicals and antioxidant defenses). The clinic assesses this with state-of-the-art tests, then implements a four-stage protocol:
- Complete check-up (oxidative stress analysis, blood tests, imaging if necessary, microbiota, ECG);
- Personalized nutrition plan;
- Targeted activity program (ability, stress level, objectives) ;
- Customized spa treatments and rituals.
A post-stay follow-up accompanies the integration of new habits over time.
Customized programs
Stays are structured around concrete objectives – anti-aging, slimming, energy/recovery, detox, functional rehabilitation, no-smoke, immunity, sports performance or cognitive and cardiovascular prevention. Each program is recalibrated after the check-up: same intention, unique path.
Castrocaro Health Spa & Thermal Spa
The spa draws on the mineral-rich , naturally green salsobromoiodic and sulfurous waters of Castrocaro. A nod to the ancient underground Adriatic Sea. They are renowned for their anti-inflammatory, detoxifying and regenerating effects on the skin and musculoskeletal system.
The circuit alternates between a 36°C thermal pool (with outdoor shutter), a lavender-scented Roman bath, a thermal water-sprayed hammam, saunas (organic and Finnish), sensory/Kneipp showers, an ice cascade and compensation pools. The idea is to intelligently play on contrasts to stimulate micro-circulation, relax muscles and soothe the nervous system.
Movement & holistic disciplines
In addition to classic fitness training, the clinic offers medicalized training (Technogym Biostrength, rehabilitation, control imaging if necessary) and individual postural sessions to correct body patterns.
On the spiritual side, meditation, therapeutic yoga and Reiki are offered in the room, the park or the pool. Special mention should be made of Thermal Yoga, practised in warm mineral water: calming breathing, gentle mobility, anchoring… a signature of the house.
Advanced diagnosis and real prevention
For those who want to “see clearly” and prevent disease early on, the Long Life Formula® Advanced Diagnostic Center provides access to the latest generation of technologies (whole-body MRI, CT scan, mammography, BMD, ultrasound/Doppler). The aim is not to outdo one another in terms of technology, but rather to make reasoned
Beauty: anti-aging and specialized support
The aesthetic dimension is addressed by the Lucia Magnani Anti-Aging Laboratory (regenerative medicine, preventive dermatology, aesthetic medicine) and a Lucia Magnani Skincare line based on over twenty years of research into antioxidants and minerals from local waters. Face and body treatments are part of an overall program for more resistant, luminous skin, consistent with a healthy lifestyle.
The clinic also offers oncology wellness programs, designed to support patients during or after treatment. These gentle protocols, validated by the medical teams, aim to
Private Spa Suites
For a moment to yourself, two Private Spa Suites:
- Onsen Suite: onsen bath + Finnish sauna.
- Hammam Suite: Turkish bath, phototherapeutic shower, therapeutic beds.
They can accommodate duo massages and be reserved together for an intimate interlude.
The culinary art of longevity
Gastronomy at the Lucia Magnani Health Clinic transcends mere gustatory satisfaction to become a vehicle for well-being. Inspired by the nutritional principles of the Long Life Formula®, the cuisine favours local ingredients from Emilia-Romagna, a region blessed by the diversity of its terroirs.
Our chefs work closely with the clinic’s nutritionists to create menus that nourish as well as regenerate. Extra-virgin olive oils with exceptional antioxidant properties, vegetables grown using traditional methods, proteins selected for their optimal bioavailability.
This holistic culinary approach is accompanied by discovery workshops where guests learn how to reproduce these beneficial combinations at home. The art of eating well thus becomes a lasting asset, extending the experience beyond the stay.
