Terme di Popoli

Hidden among Abruzzo’s breathtaking landscapes, the Terme di Popoli are an unmissable destination for anyone seeking relaxation and renewal.

Situated at the confluence of the Aterno and Pescara Rivers, at the entrance to the evocative conca Peligna, this thermal centre boasts a millennia-old tradition linked to the therapeutic use of the sulphurous waters of the De Contra spring. Their healing properties – recognised in the fields of rheumatology, dermatology, pneumology and phlebology – are today enhanced by a modern, accredited spa centre, where mud treatments, therapeutic baths and inhalation therapies are combined with osteoarticular rehabilitation programmes.

Surrounded by lush greenery on the border between the Parco Nazionale della Maiella and the Parco Nazionale del Gran Sasso e Monti della Laga, the thermal centre offers a pure, restorative experience complemented by warm hospitality, partner accommodation facilities and state-of-the-art wellness services.

After recharging in the sulphurous waters, your journey can continue with the discovery of the historical and cultural charm of this town with a truly authentic soul. Popoli Terme is home to an architectural and artistic heritage of great significance. The splendid 15th-century rose window of the Chiesa di San Francesco and the majestic Palazzo Ducale Cantelmo reveal the aristocratic history of the area. Climbing up to the Castello Cantelmo, an ancient restored medieval fortress, you can enjoy spectacular views over the valley, with its hills, rivers and mountains.

Whether you are seeking a peaceful wellness break or a stay devoted to exploring the surrounding area, the Terme di Popoli offer a perfect blend of well-being, art and history, where nature and the past come together to create a truly unique experience.
