Italy’s Largest Urban Thermal Park
The largest urban thermal park in Italy, spanning over 16,000 square meters, has been inaugurated. The project blends wellbeing, sustainability, and innovation for urban regeneration, involving a €57 million investment and creating 100 new jobs.
De Montel Stables, designed in the 1920s in Milan, have been transformed into a grand thermal park, with water drawn from a depth of 400 meters. The restoration of the Art Nouveau buildings took three years of work, resulting in a 16,000-square-meter complex, including 6,000 square meters of indoor space, ten pools, and a capacity for up to 700 visitors.
The €57 million project was made possible through the “Reinventing Cities” initiative and was funded by private investments.

“The opening of De Montel-Terme Milano is a concrete example of a successful public-private collaboration for urban regeneration and the enhancement of historical heritage,” said Massimo Caputi, President of Terme & SPA Italia. “We are returning to the city an extraordinary place where health, wellness, and architecture come together. The thermal waters of De Montel, rich in precious minerals, are a natural resource that we put at the service of the community. This project continues the vision developed at Terme di Saturnia – a temple of longevity in the heart of Maremma – bringing a contemporary approach to urban thermalism, with a focus on quality, inclusivity, and sustainability. A heartfelt thanks to the Municipality of Milan and all the partners who made this significant achievement possible.”
Sustainability and Urban Regeneration
A strong emphasis has been placed on environmental sustainability. The center features solar panels, rainwater recovery tanks, and advanced thermal management systems. Additionally, the project has contributed to urban forestry initiatives, minimizing emissions and promoting a positive environmental impact. De Montel-Terme Milano is a prime example of how the restoration of an abandoned site can bring cultural and social value back to the city.
Revitalizing the San Siro District
The restoration of the former De Montel Stables is a strategic intervention for the revitalization of the San Siro district. The newly developed thermal center combines health, leisure, and local enhancement.
