 Italy- One Spa Capital in the World

Italy- One Spa Capital in the WorldThe first time I set my foot in a spa back home in New Jersey- it was one good experience. Yet, spa hopping in Italy is one great lifetime experience. Spas goers nowadays don’t look at it at some extravagant luxury, many female specie indulge in. But for us who loves to feel good, look young and health conscious, one great spa is equivalent to one wonderful shopping.

Italy was tagged as one of the largest number of spa in the continent. Spas are popular among Italians because they are very particular with how they look and how they take care of their body. Each spa offers a new unique experience for every client. Don’t dare miss the Spa experience in Italy. It is one moment to treasure here in Italy.

Here are some of the most wonderful spa I had visited on my stay in Italy.

• Bagni di Pisa Natural Spa This is one wonderful spa stop after visiting Lucca’s tourist spots or must-to-do-things for tourist. After seeing the beautiful Leaning Tower of Pisa, Square of Miracles, San Gimignano or Lucca, this spa is one must-tourist-stop spa to have a taste of Italian life. With their heavenly signature treatments like Granduca’s Hammam, Tuina Traditional Chinese Massage, Microdermolift Face and Body or Watsu… it was such a wow experience one person should never miss. You go out feeling refresh and ready to explore Italy. This place is 20 minutes drive from the Galileo Galilei International Airport.

• Fonteverde Natural Spa Resort This resort is set in a 17th Century doorway or portico in the midst of hot springs. Here you will really appreciate the detailed design and decoration of the place. This resort offers a lot of signature treatments that aspire in rejuvenating the body. The Derma-Cellular therapy and the Tonex Bandage are two of the examples. For body relaxation treatments they offer mud treatments and aromatherapy. One amazing thing is you can check your general health by booking medical consultations that follow the ideology of traditional Chinese medicine. This spa is in San Casciano Dei Bagni and just two hours drive from Rome Fiumicino International Airport.

• Grotta Giusti Natural Spa This spa is one great creation for man. The thermal water generates a detoxifying effect and overall sense of wellbeing. The spa offers traditional treatments such as mud therapy, massage and diet assessments. A fitness centre and a large thermal pool are also available. It is located in Monsummano Terme and about 30 minutes away from Pisa Galileo Airport and Florence Vespucci Airport.

One Spa experience at the end of every tourist-activity is an exhilarating way of ending our day. You will go out from the spa- renewed, refresh and definitely beautiful.

Spa-ing is one of the most celebrity, fun things you can do whilst away! If you find yourself enjoying this glamour, why not look into other starry holiday options? Monaco for Formula 1 or Las Vegas for the casinos (you can practise like the French do at a casino en ligne before going and really give yourself a chance to win big!). One thing’s for sure - the oversize-celebrity sunglasses are a must!


 Touring Italy

Touring ItalyItaly is one of the most well loved places in Europe. It is one of the countries where its culture, history, places, landscapes, villages, buildings and many others are most admired world wide.

To see the beauty of the places in Italy, one of the best ways is through bicycling. There are these roads that are designated for bicycles. These are bicycle routes for those who would like to get around the city or just simply leisurely enjoying the view. The best time to do bicycling is on the spring and autumn seasons. On the summer months, it would be too hot to get around the places and you wouldn’t be enjoying your bicycle tour. On the winter months it is not advisable also; it would be too cold to do bicycling.

You can start bicycling at these places; you can start at Piedmont, you will be amazed by the breathtaking views of the vineyards, you will find few of the famous wines worldwide, the Asti and the Barolo, You can also marvel at the different kinds of landscapes that Piedmont has and also its architectural sites, some Roman ruins, castles and many more. In Liguria, you can find there the Riviera dei Fiori. This place will give you some spectacular views especially if you will go trekking or cycling at the Imperia’s hinterland where you can find some historical sites. You can also go to the Ligurian Alps and appreciate its flora and fauna and if lucky enough you can see some wildlife like foxes, hares, wild boars, eagles and many more on the area. In Lombardy, you can enjoy cycling here for it is one of the largest areas in Italy. It has a large number of places to see and explore through bicycling. You can find here lakes along the hills of the Alps and the views of the mountains. It will be ideal to go to one of its natural parks, the Valle del Ticino Park, where you can just leisurely cycle in the woods and along the river. You can go to the historical places that is scattered in this region. They have numerous monuments, castles, villas, churches, palaces and abbeys. However in Veneto, you can go around its villages, hills, lagoons and villas that that was designed by the famous architect Palladio. This is also the old cycling place in Italy. There are numerous routes for cycling around the area. You will surely enjoy the long cycling rides and at the same time marvel at its views.

These are just some of the places that you can do cycling around Italy. There are plenty of places that have tracks or routes for those who would want to tour Italy by bicycles. This is a unique way to experience and see the places first hand.

If cycling is a bit active for you (thoughbear in mind it’s a great way to burn off the pizza excesses!), consider car hire or motorbike hire…the lazy traveller’s option! choose your area of travel wisely - somewhere with great open roads and lots to see! Say you were going to Spain, Andalucia woudl be a great option - you could start in Malaga (take on option such as Malaga care hire for example) and go on to see magnificent cities such as Granada and Sevilla!). Back to Italy, the most popular region for this type of road trip holiday would be the beautifully lushcious Northern region…Just don’t forget your music and sandwiches for along the way!
