Relaxation and wellness: the spas of Rome
WELLNESS AND RELAXATION IN ROME
An inner journey between absolute relaxation, wellness and care for beauty, body, spirit and soul
Rome is most famous for its ancient Roman baths, dating back to classical times, which are now only partially accessible to lovers of history and archaeology. But what is left of the glorious Roman welfare culture? Where can we find the spirit and ancient tradition of body and soul care, a true philosophy of well-being?
HAMMAN AQUAMADRE OF ROME
The Acquamadre hamman is located in the downtown Rome area near the Turtle Fountain in Mattei Square. From the ancient Greco-Roman heritage come these famous thermae located near the Roman quarter of the Ghetto. A timeless oasis of peace, suspended amidst silences, aromas, scents and incense, lapping of slowly flowing water, for a unique and sensational stillness.
In keeping with ancient Roman tradition, the hamman involves a walk through rooms of different temperatures and settings, cold and warm, places that will bring the body and spirit back to the feel-good sensations of childhood. The hamman path involves a transition between steam baths, saunas, and relaxation rooms to relax every part of the body, until a scrub to smooth the skin, the last immersion in the frigidarium, cool water to tighten the pores, and resting in the decompression and relaxation room, between herbal tea and a good book. Not to be missed!
