Talise Spa, the new heart of Palazzo Soave. When wellness meets history.

In the historic center of Verona, Palazzo Bottagisio, now Palazzo Soave, enters a new chapter thanks to the restoration project curated by Merlini Design. The intervention, commissioned by Bruno Soave, is based on a clear principle, preserving and enhancing every historical trace of the building, placing it in direct relation with the new functions dedicated to hospitality and wellness. The most fascinating result of this approach is found on the underground level, where a 400 square meter SPA has been created and fully designed by the studio, from the furnishings to the selection of materials and the placement of archaeological remains. During the excavation work, cocciopesto floors, masonry elements and fragments of Roman mosaics resurfaced, brought back to light through meticulous work and now integrated into the wellness path. The spa, built by Starpool, with its contemporary elements, does not interrupt but rather amplifies the dialogue with history, creating environments where past and present resonate in balance. The Talise Spa, led by spa manager Burcu Arslan Zuppini, includes an entrance reception, three massage rooms, a 10 x 5 meter pool, a cryotherapy room, a sauna, a steam bath, experience showers and an ice waterfall enclosed in finely decorated glass. Every detail has been crafted to generate visual and sensory comfort, with a calibrated use of lighting and surfaces guiding guests through a fluid and refined experience. Outside, the palace courtyard will become a covered square for the city, giving Palazzo Soave a social role as well as an architectural one. Thanks to Merlini Design’s vision, the complex stands as a new reference for hospitality and wellness in Verona, an example of how architecture can connect different eras, restoring vitality to places filled with memory.
