Wellness, history and nature are the main features of QC Termeroma, a charming country chic 5 star resort and spa built in the 1920’s, surrounded by century-old trees and fragrant Laurel. Set in an expansive park that is part of the Oasi di Porto nature reserve beside Porto di Traiano, an artificial basin of extraordinary historic and natural importance, built under emperor Trajan between 100-112 AD, QC Termeroma Spa and Resort includes three heritage buildings: Domus Lauri, Domus Rosae, and Iris, each boasting chalk lime facades painted in bright shades of burnt earth all surrounded by trees and gardens, and numerous outdoor terraces. Situated just an 8-minute drive from Rome’s Fiumicino airport, QC Terme is the perfect location for travelers who wants to relax in a beautiful environment away from hectic traffic and noise. Guests can find treatments helpful in recovering from jet lag, or to rejuvenate before a long journey home. QC Terme offers a variety of treatments and services at its extensive wellness centre including saunas, sensory tubs, whirlpool chairs, a hammam, hot tubs, massages, various indoor and outdoor pools, a Japanese bath, a fitness center and numerous relaxation areas. There is also a “wellness path” that crosses the basement of the buildings and ending in a Jacuzzi in the middle of the park.
Arriving on an early flight from Palermo, we were delighted to find the spa facilities an absolute delight, and spent an hour or two luxuriating in the thermal waters, sensory tubs and rejuvenating saunas. After indulging in the sanctuary’s warm waters and after a short nap, we dressed for cocktails and strolled over to the garden terrace of Domus Iris, the delightful dining villa across the lantern lit park. As the sun was beginning to set, we sauntered inside to enjoy a gourmet dinner at HIC, QC Terme's elegant main restaurant, before heading to bed, well fed and supremely pampered.
