Overview

Italy has repeatedly been recognized as one of the healthiest countries in the world. The reason behind this is balance. Italians maintain balance in their work, eating, drinking, and lifestyle. Despite having access to delicious foods and wines, Italians rarely overindulge.

In this tour, we will explore some of northern Italy's health sanctuaries. These thermal spa locations are not just for astronauts who need rejuvenation after being in space, but also for seniors who want to revitalize their bodies. The natural healing waters in Italy are known for their therapeutic properties, which not only help the body, but also provide a sense of well-being and increase metabolism.

The Romans and Greeks have been using natural hot springs for thousands of years to cure various ailments and promote general wellness. As travel professionals, we can help seniors experience the wonderful impact of natural thermal springs all over Italy. This trip will also offer opportunities to experience amazing food, wine, and scenery in Emilia Romagna, the culinary capital of Italy.

Itinerary

Where We Visit: Castelli Romani Emilia-Romagna

As our week in ancient Etruria draws to a close, we would like to extend an invitation to our guests to continue their exploration of the wonders of Central Italy by joining us for four more days in Emilia Romagna.

Starting from Villa Tuscolana, we will drive north, stopping along the way for lunch, and arrive in the afternoon at the 18th-century Palazzo di Varignana Resort and SPA, just outside Bologna. You will have the rest of the afternoon to visit the site and enjoy the spa facilities.

Emilia Romagna is renowned for its food and tonight you will get to see why. We will enjoy a welcome dinner of local cuisine in the poolside restaurant of the spa before spending the night in the magnificent 18th-century villa.
