About this place Illumined Sauna

Illumined Sauna — originally opened in September 2015 as SPArtacus Bear Sauna — is a bear-oriented gay sauna on Via Pontremoli, close to Adam Sauna and the San Giovanni Metro B. The facilities are notably large for a private sauna: a Finnish sauna with 30-person capacity, a hammam/steam room with tiepidarium and calidarium built for 50 people, a large jacuzzi, a full bar, private cabins, dark room, heated floors and computer-managed water systems. Massage rooms and a relaxation zone are also available. The venue was rebranded to Illumined following refurbishment. Caters primarily to bears and admirers but open to all. Free WiFi.

A good place to relax: sauna and Turkish bath are fine, pool and showers aren't always at optimal temperatures. Excellent staff, very pleasant bar area, massages available. The musty and moldy smell needs to be addressed, perhaps due to the inefficient ventilation system. Mainly young people, good meetings even on weekdays 👋😊

A new membership. We went and the membership we had wasn't valid; we had to get a new one. You'd think it was just a way to squeeze more money out of tourists. It's a disgrace that every sauna and everything else has its own mandatory and unique membership. A disaster.

Don't pay attention to the negative reviews, they're all fake! Adam is the best in Rome ❤️

Terrible experience Dirty with a terrible smell The pool water was cloudy. Many users were promiscuous in almost every area, from the Turkish bath to the Finnish bath. I definitely won't be returning.
