Project financing proposals for the management and redevelopment of the historic Jean Varraud Spa in Bagni di Lucca are due by 11:00 a.m. on October 7, 2026.
Jean Varraud Spa: Deadline for management proposals set for October 7th
The restoration and enhancement of the historic Jean Varraud Baths in Bagni di Lucca is in full swing. The deadline for submitting bids for the project financing process promoted by the Province on behalf of the Municipality, with an estimated concession value of approximately €7 million, has been set for 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday , October 7, 2026.
The details of the concession and the relaunch objectives
The project aims to bring back to life a spa that has been closed for years and is crucial for the tourist and economic development of the Serchio Valley area:
Subject of the award: The concession, expected to last until July 31, 2037, includes the management of the Casa Boccella and Jean Varraud real estate complex, including the "Docce Basse" area.
Construction and works: The project includes the preparation of the executive design and the implementation of structural redevelopment works estimated to take approximately three years, accompanied by an annual fee to be paid by the private individual.
The current situation: Bagni di Lucca Srl (formerly the operator of Bagno Bernabò) is currently interested in the procedure, but the public tender will allow us to verify whether additional investors are interested in this important spa revitalization challenge.
If you work in tourism investment or spa management, the announcement for the Jean Varraud Spa represents a key strategic opportunity. I recommend consulting the official documentation promptly in view of the October 7th deadline: this is an ambitious project shaping the future of spa tourism in Tuscany!
