What it is
Beneath Tivoli, on the plain of Bagni di Tivoli, are the Acque Albule, sulphurous waters that give the area its name. Today they are used by the Terme di Roma, a spa at kilometre 22.7 of the Via Tiburtina, about 20 minutes by car from the centre of Tivoli. The water comes out of the Regina and Colonnelle springs at 23.4 °C all year round: it is lukewarm, not hot, and smells of sulphur.
There are two ways to bathe, depending on the season:
- The Le Vie del Benessere spa, indoors, open all year, with a covered thermal pool.
- The outdoor pool park, large open-air thermal pools, only from June to September.

Fitting it in with Tivoli
The baths are on the plain, on the way between Rome and Tivoli along the Via Tiburtina, about 4 km from Hadrian's Villa. In summer, a well-rounded day is Hadrian's Villa first thing, before the heat bites, and the pools in the afternoon. In winter, the spa makes a good finish after Villa d'Este and the old town. If you go at a weekend, book ahead.
Tips
- In winter, book for the weekend On Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays the spa admits visitors by reservation only.
- Avoid Tuesday The spa is closed that day.
- In summer, go on a weekday Entry to the pools costs €17 instead of €22.
