As the in-house spa of the boutique hotel Palazzo Montemartini, Caschera is fittingly located by the ancient site of the bathhouse of Emperor Diocletian. Open also to non-guests, the spa takes water as its theme and inspiration with a hydrotonic pool, cascading waterfalls, sensory showers and even a jacuzzi with its own bubble beds for the ultimate relaxation. In addition, there is a Finnish sauna, relaxation area, salt room and treatment rooms offering massages, facials and aromatherapy as well as special packages aimed at couples.

2. Kami Spa

Kami Spa in Rome takes its influence from Asia and beyond with techniques from Indonesia, Thailand and even Hawaii. These range from traditional massage to hot stones and exotic beauty treatments. There are even special packages for jet-lagged travellers and new mothers. Although pricey, Kami Spa offers exclusive experiences and a little taste of the Orient from its main location near Piazza Barberini and provides a totally zen experience in the heart of the bustling city which is well worth the extravagance.
