As a special treat, my family and I went to a local spa in Italy - funnily enough we had never been before and it has been open for 10 years!
We tried the jacuzzi and I went to the sauna. We were not allowed in the swimming pool as we didn't have our swimming caps (but you can buy one in their shop). Not a big deal as we will be back this weekend and we will bring all the gear with us!
First impressions were excellent: the receptionist was very knowledgeable and courteous and she showed us around. The swimming pool is slightly small for my expectations. The jacuzzi and sauna were great, but remember that sauna and steam rooms are mixed and you are required to go naked (only covered by a sheet they provide). If you prefer a ladies-only sauna, the downstairs one is reserved for ladies until 4.30pm.
We then went outside as there's a gorgeous garden with sun loungers and you can sunbathe to your heart's content, free herbal teas and water at your disposal if you develop a thirst.
We also had a little nose around the gym and studio (we were too relaxed to work out). The studio, where they run the classes (dance, pilates etc), overlooks the surrounding woods. Fantastic location with a good sense of style.
Overall a great experience and we will go back in a couple of days to spend the entire day there. A day pass is €25 and massage treatments are about €60-70.
