cavalieri spa rome

To get an idea of the type of spa we are talking about here – it was once voted Europe’s Best Hotel Spa. A self-proclaimed ‘Mediterranean oasis’ in the heart of Rome, but this title doesn’t capture the the grandeur of the Cavalieri Grand Spa Club. The Jacuzzi features a hydro massage waterfall, the ambience of the ancient bath style pool area is pure luxury, and the facilities and treatments available are vast. From the tennis courts, to his and hers saunas, and from the gym to three outdoor pools, and an open fire in winter, one day won’t feel like enough in this heaven on earth. The exclusive La Prairie and Aromatherapy Associates Swiss products are available for the facials, and they also offer massages, reflexology, waxing and tanning showers. After a massage, why not take some time to heal in the newly renovated chromo-therapy treatment rooms. The perfect combination of holistic and the luxurious!

Head out towards Fiumicino, and instead of hopping on a plane stop at QC Terme and go back in time.

Nestled amongst the fresh countryside are the ‘secret gardens’ with pools that feature underwater music, a salt bath and a natural solarium.
