Green light to the spa bonus. The publication in the Official Gazette has finally made operational – albeit one year later than the timetable – the incentive of up to 200 euros that can be spent on treatments in accredited spas. The goal is to accelerate the recovery of one of the sectors most affected by the crisis generated by the new coronavirus pandemic. The platform, managed by Invitalia, will be active from October. Here’s how the bonus works and how to get it.
The budget available
For the spa bonus there are 53 million euros of resources available, as established by the decree of the Minister of Economic Development Giancarlo Giorgetti, published in the Official Journal.

The bonus amount covers 100% of the service
The bonus covers the total expense incurred for spa treatments, for a maximum of 200 euros per person. However, the bonus can only be spent in an accredited spa, the list of which will be made official by the Ministry of Economic Development. The incentive is available from the publication of the notice of opening of bookings on the ministry and Invitalia websites, until the resources allocated are used up.
No Isee limit
As was the case for the TV scrapping bonus which encourages the purchase of new devices compatible with the new technological standards of digital terrestrial transmission, even the spa bonus is not linked to income. Therefore the ISEE is not necessary. To take advantage of the spa treatments, it is not necessary to have a doctor’s prescription. Obviously, if the service has a higher cost than the bonus, the excess part is charged to the customer.
It is only entitled to one bonus
The incentive can be requested only once, so you need to inquire in advance about the costs of the services, perhaps focusing on the purchase of a package instead of a single treatment. The bonus is nominal, it cannot be transferred under any circumstances to third parties, not even free of charge. To get the green light for the spa bonus it is necessary to book a treatment in one of the accredited spas, resulting in the lists of the Ministry of Economic Development and Invitalia, the national agency for the attraction of investments and business development, managed by the Ministry of Economic Development).
