Steam rising from natural hot pools In the hot water

Thermal park and day spa at Stigliano

Canale Monterano

A thermal park out in the country north-west of Rome, where the whole idea is to get into warm water and stay in it. Cold weather is the reason to come rather than a reason to cancel: the pools run all year.

How the day goes

  1. Drive out from Rome — this is countryside, and the car is how you get to it.
  2. Into the warm pools early, and let the rest of the day arrange itself around them.
  3. The day spa sits alongside the thermal park, for anyone who wants more than the pools.
  4. Leave when you have had enough of the water; there is no schedule here to keep.

Getting here means driving — if you want thermal water at the end of a train line instead, Bagni di Tivoli has the station right behind the pools.

One thing we have not resolved: The booking engine sits on a host whose robots.txt forbids us, so the checkout page itself was never opened.
