Tired face, dull complexion, dark circles, heavy legs, neck and back pain, dehydrated skin. A year spent, for many of us, in front of a computer screen between Zoom calls, deadlines to be met and emails to face, has really generated monsters. The holidays are still far away but we are at the end of the line: an SOS to be beautiful is urgently needed.
A break before the holiday to fill up on all-round beauty and wellness treatments, because we know that external beauty is absolutely connected to psychophysical well-being. In full boom of the spa season, providential to regenerate body and mind, we discovered a new trend: not only immersion in thermal waters and contact with nature to rediscover the most atavistic emotions, healing muds, massages and wraps, but also poetry and art that enhance aesthetic treatments. All possible if we find ourselves immersed in what Giuseppe Verdi called the eighth wonder of the world.
It is about Giusti cavethe largest natural thermal cavity in Europe, which has reopened its doors with the new spa, renovated in space and style within a 5-star resort (Grotta Giusti Thermal Spa Resort of the Autograph Collection group of Marriott International). In the heart of Tuscany, in Monsummanno Terme, you find yourself immersed in this magical and fascinating place that offers a truly unique wellness experience. Of karst origin and dug by water in about 150 million years, known in Italy and abroad for its healing and regenerating properties, discovered at the end of the nineteenth century by chance, the cave takes its name from the owner, the poet Giuseppe Giusti who transformed it into a place of thermal cures for therapeutic purposes, very popular until today.
Entering Grotta Giusti is almost a transcendental experiencewhich arouses strong emotions: the environment is large with angles of different degrees of humidity and heat (temperatures range from 28 ° to 34 ° C and 98% humidity, which creates a real thermal steam, healthy and beneficial) which increase as you proceed inland through Paradise, Purgatory and Hell (Dante here echoes everywhere, even in the rocky conformations named with the names of the most famous characters of the Comedy like Paolo and Francesca) while in Limbo there is a small lake with a constant water temperature of 36 ° throughout the year.
The perfect mix of heat and moisture favors sweating, purification and detoxification of the body and of the organism giving a feeling of psychophysical well-being. In addition to the healthy thermal steam bath, the unique experience of the floating spafloating in the silence of the thermal lake (whose water full of properties also acts as a natural peeling giving a silky effect to the skin) to re-connect with oneself and find oneself even reuniting with the womb, and (for the most daring) the diving in the depths of the source.
In short, leave all anxiety or you who enter: unlike the work of the Supreme Poet from Hell you will no longer want to leave. But it does not end there: in the new two-storey Spa, in fact, there are many services available, from the Roman Bath to the Steam Bath, from the Aroma Sauna Path to the Emotional Showers up to the Ghaccio waterfall to purify, relax and tone up in the name of the poetry of nature that accompanies every journey here. The beauty rituals are thus enriched with Mediterranean products and aromas and it is also possible to create your own essence based on olive oil, aromatic plants (taken personally and directly from the garden of the structure) and drops of essential oils in line with the own state of mind.
They are not missing facial treatments such as purifying masks based on thermal mud, peeling with fruit acids and thermal active ingredients, Luxury anti-aging while for the body the choice is between different rituals including the myorelaxing mud, arnica and hypericum back treatment that specifically regenerates those who spend too much time at the desk.
So, for hardened workhaolic looking for deep emotions or even if you are just looking for regenerating relaxation, Grotta Giusti is absolutely the ideal destination. Here the poem makes you absolutely beautiful.
