Holiday apartment in Acquasanta Terme between thermal baths and springs
The Terme di Acquasanta are located on the SS4 Salaria state road, about 18 kilometres from Ascoli Piceno. This location gives the thermal resort a clear regional connection.
The Sentiero delle Sorgenti Termali connects the two most frequently visited sulphur springs of Acquasanta Terme: the Sorgente “Sotto Acquasanta – Pacca della Vecchia” and the Sorgente di Santa Maria – Lu Vurghe. Those who choose the springs as their focus will encounter two clearly distinct names along this route.
The wellness centre of the Terme di Acquasanta was built from stone sourced from a local quarry.
Roman traces and historic buildings
During the Roman Empire, Acquasanta became a mansio, a rest station for troops. There, legionaries replenished their strength and relieved their ailments.
The name for Roman Acquasanta on the Tabula Peutingeriana, a map of the Roman military roads, is “Vicus ad Aquas”.
The Fortezza di Castel di Luco was built in the 14th century with an elliptical ground plan beside the medieval village of Paggese.
The Ponte Vecchio was built in the 16th century by the Maestri Comacini and is considered a striking combination of civil architecture and the natural surroundings. Beside it stands a water mill dating from the 17th century.
Travertine as an artistic experience
The Trame di Travertino artistic route offers you the opportunity to experience and interact with a total of 12 travertine installations. It runs mainly between Paggese and Castel di Luco.
Trame di Travertino is certified by Officina dei sensi and designed to provide accessibility and safety for a sensory experience.
The Anello di Valledacqua is a publicly accessible circular trail of historical and natural significance, featuring travertine installations in the open air.
Nature experience at the Cascate di Forcella
The Cascate di Forcella are located in a green valley in the border area between the municipalities of Roccafluvione and Acquasanta Terme and are a natural attraction of the Terre del Piceno.
They form two rapids; the first plunges 15 metres and creates a natural pool.
After travelling via Ponte d’Arli and Tallacano, a short path opposite the Church of San Giovanni leads to the Cascate di Forcella.
When choosing your holiday apartment in Acquasanta Terme, you can weigh up these focal points: thermal baths and springs, Roman history, historic buildings, travertine art or nature by the water. This allows you to plan your stay around the experience focus you want to place at the centre.
