The
Grand Hotel Palazzo Della Fonte
If you are planning on
seeing the beautiful town of Fiuggi, I highly recommend
prolonging the elegance and charm of the Italian countryside while
staying at Grand Palazzo Della Fonte, the only five star hotel in
Fiuggi.
At this exclusive
location, you will live like royalty. In fact, the hotel's most
famous guest was the King of Italy, Victor Emmanuel III, who spent
holidays here for several years. Other notable guests include Pe,
Picasso, Sophia Loren as well as people ranging from politicians,
professional football (soccer) stars to The Spice Girls!
Built in 1912, this
hotel has remained one of the most sought after spots in the Roman
Countryside for the past 90 years. Situated in the middle of an
8-acre park, the hotel, named after the famous fountain, combines
the old charm of yesterday's
Italy combined with modern
day luxuries. The generously oversized rooms are all in the "Liberty
Style", delicately decorated with colorful floral designs that
miraculously manage to bring the splendor of Fiuggi's incredible
landscape right into your room.
The bathrooms combine
old world charm with contemporary fixtures, great showers, thick
terry bathrobes, hair dryers, makeup mirrors and complimentary
Hermes toiletries. If the healing water of Fiuggi doesn't replenish
you, these cushy accommodations are bound to leave you with a
feeling of rejuvenation. |

There
is no doubt that meandering around the Roman
Countryside can ware you out. If you're feeling
guilty for your time spent eating
Italy's
delicious cuisine, you can make up for it at the
state of the art gym at the Palazzo. For me,
there is no better reward for a long day of
exploration than some well spent time at the
Medical
Beauty
Center at the Palazzo. Here, you
will enjoy the most advanced beauty treatments
with the comfort and luxury that characterizes
the hotel. This newly renovated facility
includes various types of massages, including
shiatsu and the highly requested stone therapy.
The
sun worshippers spend their down time at the
fabulous outdoor pool, while those who would
rather hide from the rays may enjoy the heated
indoor pool, open year round. If that doesn't
fill your appetite for relaxation, then the
gorgeous, large, Jacuzzi should do the
trick.
The Palazzo provides the
ultimate Italian experience, so it is no
surprise that their menu selections offer the
finest in Italian cuisine. Mangia mangia, after
all, you are on vacation! Sample their delicious
menu in the dining room, or for a more intimate
dining experience, there is always room service.
Whatever you do, don't miss out on an espresso
or cappuccino, a popular Italian invention.
I
know that the Palazzo sound like heaven on
earth, but should you have the desire to get out
and see the sights, the Palazzo will take you in
one of their cars to see the local attractions.
There is one important aspect that should never
be neglected. The shopping! The Palazzo offers a
shuttle service to the shopping district in
Rome, which speaks for itself.
The
Grand Hotel Palazzo Dell Fonte is a member of
The Leading Hotels of The World, and speaking
from experience, it far exceeds the criteria for
the most ultimate in luxury accommodations.
