Palazzo Fiuggi

Frosinone

Italy

Overview

If wellness is defined as “a holistic integration of physical, mental, and spiritual well-being, fueling the body, engaging the mind, and nurturing the spirit” then you could say Italy is the ultimate wellness destination. With its alluringly slow pace of life, seasonal cuisine, strong family ties and the importance of balance in all things, there’s a reason Italians have one of the longest lifespans on earth. It is a destination that celebrates beauty and pleasure, while favoring balance in all things. Work hard, and then indulge in a well-earned vacation. Work out, and then enjoy a bowl of spaghetti by the sea.

In Italy, health has always been integrated holistically into daily life. And with the arrival of Palazzo Fiuggi, a state-of-the-art wellness medical retreat, Italy is emerging as a leader in innovative well-being as well.

Located just 1 hour drive from Rome, the hilltop town of Fiuggi has long been renowned for its therapeutical thermal waters that boost the immune system. Legendary figures like Pope Boniface VIII and Michelangelo spent time in Fiuggi to cure kidney ailments, and Fiuggi’s mineral springs still cleanse and purify locals to this day. Set 700 meters above sea level, Fiuggi is surrounded by verdant mountains which also mean mild temperatures and clean air — all within close proximity to bustling cities like Rome and Naples.

Palazzo Fiuggi, which looks out onto the picturesque town, is an opulent, Art Deco era villa immersed in a private 8-hectare park. Built in 1913 and originally named Grand Hotel Palazzo della Fonte, the hotel was designed to be the most luxurious hotel in all of Europe. It became a meeting place for politicians and luminaries, and it was a popular summer retreat for the Italian King Vittorio Emanuele II and the Royal family.

Following a 30-million-euro redevelopment by Lorenzo Giannuzzi of the Forte Village group, the property has been reopened as Palazzo Fiuggi, a brand committed to helping guests pursue "a longer life, better lived." The hotel features frescoed ballrooms, elegant salons and one of Italy's first outdoor swimming pools. Palazzo Fiuggi boasts 102 impressive rooms and suites— many have panoramic views and some have balconies — and Fiuggi’s thermal water arrives directly to the hotel so guests have direct access to the source.

In terms of its wellness facilities, no expense has been spared: white marble, golden mosaics and Murano chandeliers are present throughout the property, creating a truly sumptuous atmosphere to detox and decompress. Palazzo Fiuggi’s spa and medical facilities span 6,000 sqm and include 21 treatment rooms, 8 beauty cabins, indoor and outdoor pools, a dedicated yoga studio, hydro circuit rooms, Himalayan salt room and more.

The palazzo’s former ballroom, featuring stucco ceilings and Murano chandeliers, has been transformed into the Workout Movement Lab with state-of-the-art gym equipment including ICAROS, a virtual reality fitness device that gamifies your workout experience.
