Palazzo Fiuggi with Tracey Woodward
Palazzo Fiuggi has a reputation that precedes it - and for once, the reality exceeds it. Set in the hills of Lazio, an hour south of Rome, this is not a wellness hotel in the conventional sense. There are no scented candles arranged for effect and no superficial promises about transformation. What you’ll find is a medically supervised, scientifically designed retreat programme built on the straightforward conviction that the human body, given the right conditions, is extremely good at looking after itself.
In the Ribeiro region, Avandra The Longevity food line – created by three-Michelin-star chef Heinz Beck and supervised by Palazzo Fiuggi’s health and scientific team – treats every dish as medicine, measuring the nutritional properties of each recipe with the same rigour applied to the treatments. The therapeutic Fiuggi waters, drawn straight from the source, have been considered among Europe’s most restorative since Roman times, and the Roman Thermae are as divine as they sound.
The medical team is highly qualified, the treatments are evidence-led and the movement programme – from Vinyasa Flow and Pranayama Breathing to Binaural Sound Therapy – offers a broad range of practices designed to support different needs, fitness levels and wellbeing goals.
Three nights is an introduction, but for most guests, it will be the beginning off a longer conversation with your own wellbeing.
