SYBARITIC
ESCAPE
Italy’s new immersive
wellness destination Palazzo
Fiuggi hits all the right notes,
from tech-savvy treatments to
superlative cuisine
TYSON SADLO
ADD YET ANOTHER fully
immersive, purpose-built and
high-echelon European wellness
and medical retreat to the
expansive list of distinguished
offerings already available
to sybarites and spa-hounds
across the Continent. The latest
is Palazzo Fiuggi: a handsome
6,000sq m facility situated on
an 8.5ha estate an hour outside
Rome in the hilltop spa town
that bears its name.
Conferred with curative
mineral waters since the Middle
Ages (Michelangelo and Pope
Boniface VIII are among those
who imbibed them, though not
at the same time), some guests
at the just-opened Palazzo Fiuggi
may simply wish to indulge
in the myriad relaxing hydro
therapies within the Thalasso
pools, circuits and hammams,
while enjoying a verdant estate
dotted with gardens, woodlands
and a lake, 700m above sea
level, where the rarefied air adds
to the sense of vitality.
Others, however, will want
to avail themselves of cuttingedge
knowledge as well as the
latest wellness and medical
devices available, including the
highest range of MRI technology,
infrared technology for brain
health and sleep, retinal
scanning and an endless range
of diagnostic testing. “Palazzo
Fiuggi was created by a team of
international experts who have
developed scientifically backed
and innovative protocols to aid
a full recovery of health and
wellbeing,” says its founder,
Lorenzo Giannuzzi, who is also
the chief executive of Sardinia’s
Forte Village Resort, already a
well-established name in the
world of hospitality.
To that end, guests can
expect five different bespoke
programmes to treat body,
mind and soul after an initial
consultation and diagnostic
assessment, created by a
team of expert scientists,
doctors, dietitians and trainers.
This results in a 360-degree
approach for a suite of medical
services, wellness treatments
and holistic therapies over a
number of days, including
specialised detox and weight
regimens and the already
HIGH TIMES
Palazzo Fiuggi pairs
the latest technology
– including the
Icaros virtual reality
fitness machine,
left – with classic
Italian hospitality
popular Immuno Boost
programme with its bioenergetic
and toxaemia scans and
prescribed treatments to help
increase vital energy, strengthen
immunity and achieve optimum
long-term health.
And while guests will
be in the care of leading
scientists and medics during
their multiday stay, it won’t
be a hardship: alongside an
eatery from three-Michelin-star
chef Heinz Beck, there are
54 immaculately decorated
bedrooms, a further 47
expansive suites as well as
the commodious 1,000sq
m private villa, which is set
within its private park for
bedding down. Add to the mix
myriad picturesque public
areas (think libraries, salas, tea
rooms and terraces with views
of the Ernici mountains), not
to mention a private cinema
and a clubby billiard room,
it’s leaving Palazzo Fiuggi that
may end up being the most
difficult part of the experience.
