The best time to go to the spa
If you have to choose the ideal time for a spa vacation, we recommend autumn and spring. Between October and November, the spas become a perfect refuge to escape the incoming cold, with warm waters that pamper the body and natural landscapes that are tinged with warm and enveloping colors. Spring, after the harsh winter, offers a perfect combination of pleasant temperatures and beneficial offerings; it is the time when nature awakens, providing a regenerating and fresh environment, ideal for purifying the mind and body. Whether you choose to immerse yourself in the thermal waters on a cool autumn day or to embrace the spring rebirth, the sensory journey that regenerates body and spirit is guaranteed.
