Water, nutrition and sport
Villa Il Gelsomino is your Tuscan retreat, nestled among olive groves and silent rows of vineyards. Here, the countryside is authentic: the air is scented with herbs, the pace is slow, and the sunsets seem like paintings. A private natural spring brings pure, light, and fresh water to the table, making every sip special.
For lunch and dinner, you'll savor freshly picked vegetables purchased directly from the village's farmers: sweet tomatoes, crunchy zucchini, and fragrant salads, depending on the season. Dress them with extra virgin olive oil produced from local olive groves, a golden hue and vibrant flavor that enhances every dish. Wake up to the sounds of nature, explore paths between dry-stone walls, and let the silence pamper you. Relax in the scenic garden, among flowering pergolas and the scent of jasmine. Discover nearby villages and churches. Villa Il Gelsomino: elegant simplicity, genuine well-being, authentic Tuscany.

WELL BEING
Yoga: conscious breathing
Portofino is a fishing village on the Ligurian Riviera southeast of Genoa. Pastel-colored houses, exclusive boutiques, and seafood restaurants line the cobblestone Piazzetta overlooking the harbor, where megayachts are docked. A path connects the Piazzetta to Castello Brown, a 16th-century fortress with an adjoining museum inside which art exhibitions are mounted and which affords views of the town and the Ligurian Sea.
THE BATHS OF BAGNI DI LUCCA
Primitive waters
The Bagni di Lucca hot springs, in the green heart of Garfagnana, are a secret and surprising place, far removed from the traditional spa experience. Here, pure water flows from natural springs and forms small, hidden lakes, immersed in the tranquility of the woods and the wild charm of the mountains. There are no artificial structures, just the authentic pleasure of immersing yourself in a pristine environment, where nature reigns supreme. A regenerating and adventurous experience, ideal for those who love discovering hidden corners and experiencing wellness in a free, youthful, and authentic way.
