My first visit to this part of Roman countryside, and so much to discover. Palazzo Fiuggi was in my travel plans for a while, and the moment came – I really needed to reload, and I had couple of days before joining SINA hotels celebration in Rome. Well, my lifestyle is not super healthy do be admitted, and “no coffee, no alcohol, no meat, no salt, no sugar” concept is not exactly me. But I thought I should survive without my glass of wine for a dinner for couple of days (Julia, be brave!). I can’t say it was full immersion to holistic rejuvenation – you need to be there for a week at least, and I was just for two nights, but it was experience.
Well, the place is truly magical. Beautiful old park, enchanted and dreamy, and equally beautiful palazzo – former noble residence and long time medical spa – on the tope of the hill overlooking old town of Fiuggi and countryside. Stepping back in times don’t necessary require to leave behind modern comfort, and here you are surrounded by both: comfort and heritage, quite well balanced.
The SPA is phenomenal – the treatments, the facilities, the staff, all top notch. I didn’t have medical examination, and didn’t go too far with treatments (this SPA offers way more than just massages and wrappings), but what I tried was quite impressive. You can go much further following unique Fiuggi method and even changing your lifestyle completely. It was not my goal but it can be yours, and this is a right place.
Oh, and the food… 3 Michelin star chef Heinz Beck created menu, light and healthy, based on natural ingredients. It can be customized, but I went with common one – 1981 kcal a day (1981 precisely, imagine???). It was a bit of challenge, to be honest. The feeling of eating delicious clouds for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and the only drink was a famous Fiuggi mineral water. I don’t think I had that much of water inside of me ever, but I kept telling myself it was pure liquid health.
The time which was free of treatments and cloudy meals I’ve spent in swimming pools, Himalayan salt sauna, infrared sauna, contrast pool for legs, exploring magical park, and historical town of Fiuggi (I swear, no one slice of pizza, no one glass of wine – just street photography and walking around!).
Highly recommend to everyone who feel for a change – detox, loose weight, find the balance. Fantastic gym with personal instructors, all modern beauty medical procedures… Feel free to contact for details and reservation. [email protected]
