the hammam
The Hammam is a pleasure of our civilization since ever: beginning in the
ancient world of the Hellenic-Roman period under the name of thermae, it is
born out of a need to enjoy leisure and social exchange. It is a luxuriuos place
where one comes to cleanse the body through a series of treatments while purifying
the soul and relaxing the mind.
Step out of the frantic pace of your everyday, busy life, and step into a place
of serenity in the hearth of Rome. Let the scent of incense and the sound of
flowing water transport you to a time and place when life is uncomplicated and
the childhood pleasures of dreaming and losing yourself in your thoughts come
easily and effortlessly.
Inside the Hammam you will find multiple rooms; in each, from the coldest to
the hottest, there will be attendants pampering you and washing you and taking
care of your every need.

You will begin in the changing room (apodyterium), then, with just
a towel on, you will proceed to the warm bath (tepidarium 36°)
where steam, the faint sound of water and pale light provide a dreamlike atmosphere.
You will lie down on a warm marble bench following your shower and a massage
of Moroccan olive soap alternating with a hot water wash will open your pores,
relax your body and cleanse you. From the tepidarium, you will be transported
to the hot baths (calidarium 45°- 100% humidity) where you will
experience a real “steam bath”; here heat improves circulation,
and aids in calming the mind to help you sleep, hot steam hydrates the lungs,
which help fight against the common cold, flu and rheumatic pains. The sweating
removes toxins and excess water in the body.
