A wellness spa set in a former sixteenth-century abbey on the summit of Monte Conero, with sauna, Turkish bath, salt room, panoramic outdoor pool and treatments, open to non-residents by appointment.
The spa of the Hotel Monteconero occupies one of the most remarkable settings of any wellness centre in the Marche, housed in a former sixteenth-century Benedictine abbey on the wooded summit of Monte Conero, at around five hundred and fifty metres directly above the Adriatic near Sirolo in the province of Ancona. The hotel, set within the Conero Regional Park, combines the atmosphere of an ancient monastery with modern comforts, and its wellness circuit offers a Finnish sauna, a Turkish bath, a salt room, atmospheric and bio-thermal showers and a panoramic outdoor pool looking out over the sea and the green slopes of the promontory. Treatments include massage, beauty and physiotherapy, with the option of a private evening spa booking for small groups that includes the facilities together with fruit and sparkling wine. The wellness area is open not only to hotel guests but to visiting non-residents by appointment, generally in the afternoon and evening, making it accessible as a day or evening wellness retreat. Because the spa is part of a hotel rather than a thermal complex, sessions and treatments are best reserved in advance, particularly for the private evening option. Prices reflect the setting and exclusivity, with the private group evening spa priced at around EUR 500 (roughly USD 540) for up to ten people, and individual treatments arranged separately. The clifftop location is the great draw: the same hilltop offers walking trails through the Conero park and views down to the famous beaches of the Riviera, including the Spiaggia delle Due Sorelle. Pleasant year-round, the spa is an especially atmospheric refuge in the cooler shoulder seasons and a cool escape in the heat of an Adriatic summer, combining wellness with a historic and panoramic mountain-top setting.
