RELAXING IN ROME: SPA TIME FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY

Rocco Forte Hotels

As summer’s heat fades and the balmy Ottobrata Romana sets in, the Eternal City becomes a more serene, family-orientated destination. With sought-after landmarks and museums open late and the harvest delivering fresh, local delicacies to the table, this time of year is ideal for a relaxing half-term escape. And where better to unwind after a day of exploration than at Hotel de la Ville’s sumptuous spa, atop the Spanish Steps in the heart of Rome.

With a range of registered babysitters and children’s activities to entice younger guests, parents seeking some alone time will find ample opportunity to do so at the de la Ville spa. Bask in the sensuous experiences offered by the thermal suite’s salt room, sauna, steam room and ice fountain. Then settle back on a soothing infrared relaxation lounger and choose from a superlative menu of treatments with our skilled therapists. An intimate couples’ choice, such as the Mediterranean Mudding Ritual for Two, is the perfect rejuvenation for busy parents.

We understand that younger children yearn to imitate their parents, while teens are beginning to take a keener interest in health and beauty. That’s why we’ve curated an exclusive menu of treatments suitable for children aged six and up, so as you enjoy a luxurious manicure and pedicure, your little darlings are adorned with fun, twinkling finger and toenails in the same treatment space. While an expert massage therapist kneads away your tensions, your children are treated to the same, carefully adapted for developing muscles and growing bones. Our menu for teenagers includes a sumptuous Forte Facial, designed for adolescent skin and including invaluable skincare tips. Furthermore, a personal training session includes a number of techniques for improving strength and stamina that can be adapted to all ages, from children to parents.
