Amid endless olive groves perched on gentle hills, intoxicated by the mild, lakeside air that softens even the coldest seasons, Bardolino is a jewel adorning the eastern shore of Lake Garda. This picturesque town offers a magnificent view of this vast body of water—the largest in Italy—gently brushed by the ripples caused by the wind and the boats crossing it. The streets stretch out, intertwining, winding, and diverging, guiding those who walk them through glimpses dotted with citrus trees, olive trees, laurels, and vines. In this breathtaking setting, the Hotel Caesius Thermae & Spa Resort, located on the lakefront, perfectly embodies the spirit of the surrounding area. Here, water is the core and central philosophy of the hotel: an escape destination focused on relaxation, where thermal benefits pamper and rejuvenate guests. Outside, surrounded by a magical garden filled with plants, flowers, and shrubs that overflow with scents and colors, are five outdoor pools at ambient temperature, including three large ones (one with various whirlpool stations) and two for children.
Three thousand square meters are dedicated to the health and wellness area—a true Salus Per Aquam itinerary featuring a large heated indoor pool with various hydromassage stations, five thermal water pools (two for thalassotherapy, one for balneotherapy and chromotherapy, and two whirlpools), and a Kneipp path. For those who enjoy high temperatures, the center offers a Finnish sauna and a Mediterranean sauna, Turkish bath, laconicum (also known as the Roman sudatorium), and for the more daring, a frigidarium with an ice waterfall. Completing the SPA journey, a section dedicated to sensory showers allows guests to unwind under a warm tropical shower or a refreshing aromatic mist, combining tactile sensations of hot/cold with olfactory and visual experiences through aromatherapy and chromotherapy. The wellness center, recently expanded, also includes a new Private SPA for up to three people, featuring a Jacuzzi, sauna, Turkish bath, and emotional shower. The Techogym-branded fitness area welcomes guests who want to stay in shape through the gym, while the Beauty Center is the ideal retreat for those who love taking care of their appearance. Relaxing, emotional, and Shiatsu massages, massage therapy, reflexology, facial and anti-aging treatments, pedicures, manicures, and body scrubs are just some of the exclusive treatments available to guests seeking pampering.
Another highlight of the Hotel Caesius Thermae & SPA is the Ayurvedic Medicine Center, a thoughtfully designed space that combines the benefits of medicine, nutrition, physical activity, and cosmetics. Ayurveda has its ancient roots in Indian medicine—the term derives from the combination of words meaning “longevity” and “revealed knowledge.” Over millennia, it spread to the West, bringing with it the tradition and wisdom of the Vedas, India’s sacred texts, and has been meticulously refined over the centuries. Ayurvedic treatments work on the relationship between body and mind, balancing vital energies to restore harmony and purify the body both physically and psychologically.
Remaining on the theme of “Water,” the hotel also features a stunning 280-square-meter event space called the “Water Factory”, the old bottling plant of Acqua Balda. It benefits from natural light and boasts a breathtaking lake-view terrace—perfect for receptions, coffee breaks, or aperitifs. But this is not the only space designed for meetings, conferences, or events: modern and fully equipped, the Caesius Congress Center is the ideal solution for conventions, training courses, team-building events, seminars, conferences, and corporate or private dinners, offering 10 rooms to meet any organizational need.
Relaxation is matched by rest and fine dining: the hotel offers 185 spacious and quiet rooms with a balcony or terrace. The Suites feature a double bedroom, a living room with a double sofa bed, a sitting area with armchairs, and a large furnished balcony or terrace.
The Vintage Cellar is an evocative and scenic venue, elegantly set up like a wine boutique—perfect for business dinners, meetings, or intimate social gatherings. Finally, not to be overlooked, there is a large restaurant and bar, both with outdoor tables to welcome guests in the warmer season, complemented by a pool bar. The cuisine at Hotel Caesius combines love for the local territory with a constant pursuit of well-being at the table, using selected high-quality ingredients. The restaurant offers both traditional local dishes and Ayurvedic and dietary menus, catering to the needs of all guests.
