about

Apollion Sauna calls itself the oldest sauna in Rome. It was founded in 1994 and sits three minutes' walk from the Colosseum and the city's Gay Street, within easy reach of Termini station. It is a private members' club for adult men, and entry needs a valid ARCO membership card. Inside there is a Finnish sauna, a Turkish bath, a jacuzzi and hydromassage, chromotherapy, massages, video rooms and a cinema, a dark room, a glory hole, cabins, a smoking room and a bar. Members are given a locker key, two towels and slippers at the door. It opens every day from 2 p.m. to 11 p.m.

There are both positives and negatives points. The staff is kind and friendly, the guys are constantly cleaning and keeping the place organized. However, the space feels tiny as hell. It was almost impossible to get undressed and even harder to put my clothes back on when leaving. The lockers are so small that you have to pile your belongings on top of each other. The pool is small, and so are the turkish bath and the dry sauna. There’s no bar where you can interact and chat, instead, they just have machines at reception. That means you have to walk ALL THE WAY BACK if you want something, ofc since it’s from a machine, there are no proper drinks The place itself is actually large and beautiful, but about 70% of the space is taken up by cruising cabins. And believe me, people aren’t having sex because it’s nearly impossible to have a decent conversation in there. It’s a shame that such a beautiful and well located venue is so poorly designed. I wouldn’t recommend it, though it might be more pleasant on a weekday if you are horny and when it’s less crowded. Check out the competition, it’s not as pretty, but it’s worth it

Excellent experience! Clean, lots of cruising space, and welcoming staff to tourists who speak English. Went on a Monday afternoon and by 5pm it was quite busy! Lots of men both young and old. I left very happy!

Didn't realise this mainstream bathhouse is just steps away from my guesthouse since I got in Rome last Tuesday until I wanted to check it out this early evening. The gentleman at receptionist was kind enough to share the bathhouse scenes in Rome and the impact after covid. Unlike many which already shut down, the house brand itself explains a lot, Apollion is a survivor which has stand the test of time yet. The jacuzzi, next to the dry steam room, is probably the one only upgraded feature. If you're not too obese in shape, regardless your age group, you will always find a happy ending. p.s. The membership card entitles to access Blu Angel and Cactus Bar in Naples with discount. Couldn't wait to check 'em out.

I went in a Saturday late afternoon. Staff was nice. But the saunas are super dark and not made for relaxation. The ambient music comes from a radio mixed of pop and grandma music, plus having to listen to advertisements - super boner killer!! How did not anyone think of it? The cabines are not so comfortable. Floor is very slippery. It does not feel super clean as whole although there's always someone cleaning the cabins. For a place that offers sauna it should have a water fountain somewhere. Also because I'm Rome you have water fountains everywhere. May be cultural: the vibe was not so sex positive and felt more like doing something really forbidden. Most people are seniors, and are as friskiest anywhere as they are in the dark room. With this experience, the extra membership fee makes it feel like a scam-- although it's the law it seems and it is explained.

Filippo and Antonio are the stars of this venue!! Thank you so very much for your professionalism. I visited this venue last year, but couldn't recall this time, that's why they intended to charge me as a newcomer tourist , but then they detected me in the system and returned the additional fee for local Roma event regulatory card. Needless to say I was so surprised by their honesty. Speaks volumes about their high moral standards, others would make money on people who are not aware, but they returned me 15 euros. Thank you guys, you are the sweetest and kindest receptionists I've ever met at such facilities and believe me, I've been around European saunas a lot. The venue itself is sparkling clean as well. Interior has old Roman empire vibes, which makes experience unique and pleasant. Great music. Visitors are mostly locals in different shapes , which is great if you want to taste ( and not only ) the beauty of Italian men. Overall 100 out of 10, you are the best venue in Rome. I'll be returning and recommending you all over. Much love to Filippo and Antonio, hope management understands and values them. They were incredible 😍😘

Italy follows an abolitionist model set by the Legge Merlin of 1958, which closed the licensed brothels and forbids any registration of people who sell sex. Selling and buying are legal for adults; brothels, recruitment, aiding and exploitation are crimes punished with two to six years' imprisonment. In 2019 the Constitutional Court upheld the offences of recruiting and aiding even where prostitution is voluntary. Street-based prostitution is shaped mainly by mayoral ordinances that fine sex workers and clients in designated areas. A 2025 Senate bill to repeal the Merlin law and license brothels has been assigned to committee but not examined In 2025 the new ATECO statistical classification prompted a public debate on escort work; ISTAT clarified that it covers only lawful activities.
