Feeling like a Roman at the Rimske Therme in Toplice

The Rimske Therme gets its inspiration from a 2.000 year old bathing culture from the Romans. This complex however is not that old but dates from the late 18th century. In the Roman bathing area they offer treatments and the possibility to take a bath in a 200 year old tub.

How would it feel to lay in the same bath as Princes Murat, Carolina Bonaparte, the sister of Napoleon I. We didn't try it but truly enjoyed the gigantic indoor and connected outdoor swimming on the hill of a mountain. The design of the indoor pool was cubical and provided a mysterious ambiance. The red blocks in the water are water massage elements. In the garden you find a few hot water tubs.

The Wellness and Spa center consists of three four star hotels. We stayed in the Sofijin Dvor, the castle and more classic part of the complex. The ceilings of our room were more than four meters high. There is also a new complex called Rimske Dvor and the historical bath building called Zdraviliski Dvor. The next time we would probably choose the Rimske Dvor because the room we stayed in was very warm. This is certainly not a complaint because it was extremely hot outside, around 37 degrees.

For people who enjoy swimming and hiking in a green environment, this is a good place to relax. Staff is very friendly and service minded.

De Rimske Therme haalt zijn inspiratie uit 2.000 jaar geschiedenis van Romeinse badcultuur. Dit kuuroord is echter jonger, het werd opgetrokken aan het einde van de 18de eeuw. In de historische baden biedt men behandelingen aan en de mogelijkheid te baden in 200 jaar oude badkuipen.

Hoe zou het voelen om in het zelfde bad te liggen als Prinses Murat of Carolina Bonaparte, de zuster van Napoleon I. We hebben het niet geprobeerd maar genoten enorm van het grote binnen- en buitenzwembad gelegen op de heuvelrug. Het ontwerp van de zwembaden was in kubussen wat binnen een modern mysterieus gevoel opwekte. De rode blokken in het water zijn massage elementen. In de tuin staan verschillende jacuzzi's.

Het kuuroord bestaat uit drie verschillende vier sterren hotels. Wij verbleven in het Sofijin Dvor, een klassiek kasteeltje. De plafonds van onze kamer waren meer als vier meter hoog. Het midden van het kuuroord Rimske Dvor, werd nieuw gebouwd en de historische baden staan in het Zdraviliski Dvor. De volgende keer kiezen we waarschijnlijk voor het moderne gedeelte daar het in onze kamer wel heel warm was. Dit is zeker geen klacht omdat het buiten ongeveer 37 graden was. 

Voor mensen die van zwemmen en wandelen houden in een groene omgeving is dit hotel ideaal. Het personeel is vriendelijk en service-minded.
