06/06/2021, Palazzo FiuggiThe Science of Regeneration
Palazzo Fiuggi is a sanctuary for the body, mind, and soul. Their specialised medical-scientific therapies promote increased wellbeing, health, and longevity by fusing ancient holistic disciplines with the cornerstones of traditional Western therapeutics. Beginning with a targeted exam and diagnostic consultation, the team of scientists, doctors, and gurus will develop a personalised approach that will yield measurable health outcomes. A carefully calibrated follow-up protocol will also assist guests in achieving their long-term goals.
THE FOUNTAIN OF LIFE
Palazzo Fiuggi owes its success to the unique properties of its water whose source lies in the region’s natural springs. For hundreds of years, pilgrims have been drawn to Fiuggi's natural springs, which are known for their purifying and healing effects. Fiuggi water – ‘the water of wellbeing' – has been celebrated for its healing abilities for over 600 years and is at the core of Palazzo Fiuggi's many health programmes.
Throughout their history, Palazzo Fiuggi has been linked to this miraculous water, which was originally famed for its diuretic powers that have the potential to "break stone," and which was said to have treated the diseases of Pope Boniface VIII and Michelangelo. The water contains distinct macromolecules from the humid acids group that can reduce the density of the stones, allowing them to break up and dissolve. Natural antibacterial and antiviral activities can also increase the immune response, influencing tumour shape and stimulating their necrosis.
Many of the programmes at Palazzo Fiuggi incorporate this therapeutic spring water – it’s been shown to have a beneficial effect on a variety of ailments and chronic conditions including urinary tract problems, cystitis, pyelonephritis, metabolic disorders, gout and arthritis. It also complements their weight-loss, exercise and body balance programmes. In fact, Purify is an integral component of the spa. The water is not only used as a detoxifier at the start of each programme, but it is also found in their Thalasso pools. The thorough renovation of the palazzo honours Fiuggi's water, in the majesty of its pristine spa facilities and the sybaritic enjoyment of its indoor and outdoor swimming pools and Roman Therme.
A LONGER LIFE BETTER LIVED
"A longer life better lived" - This is the basic philosophy that guides the wellness activities at Palazzo Fiuggi. Human health, like a tree, relies on a robust root system to live a long and healthy existence. Without this solid basis, difficulties with ageing may occur, leading to chronic illnesses. The unique programmes at Palazzo Fiuggi are based on their essential therapy foundation stones: Purify, Nourish, Energise, and Connect. Their wellness and medical programmes, together with Fiuggi's healing waters, will refill and realign your mind, body, and soul, allowing you to live a longer, more fulfilling life.
FOOD AS MEDICINE

Developed by in-house experts, the programme is individually tailored to each guest, featuring a personalised combination of healthy nutrients. sustainable organic and biodynamic ingredients are selected from the region’s renowned ‘terroir’, as well as from the vegetable garden inside Palazzo’s park.
