Considering that many of the "resort" spas started out as natural spas that were added to over time, I wonder if this might be the norm (in the middle ages) rather than the exception.
It's tragic, actually, to see modern spas. Some are in beautiful natural cave environments and they have started adding concrete edges to everything. I have a word for this... "citycreep", a situation where people who grow up in urban environments impose their notions of order and cement and stone and edges and urbanization onto the natural world in places where the change serves no useful function and mars the landscape.
