This is the closest I've been to the Etruscans / taking the 37° Celsius waters / in a natural hot spring / in the middle of Tuscany.

Water has flowed here / for thousands of years / made a 40 year journey / metamorphosed / from rain in Mount Amiata / to this magic mixture of mainly / sulphur & mineral salts. / It smells like aboriginal Italy.

When you're in the water / be water, my friend.

p a r t . f o u r

Day six Friday July 5

We say ciao to Rome and drive toward Tuscany. We giggle as Men in Black by Will Smith plays on the station Radio Deejay. We stop at Saturnia hot spring and wade through the pools until we settle beneath a shady bamboo grove for a soak in the sulfuric water; the pools of constantly flowing hot spring are carpeted with perfectly round, grape-sized pebbles. With thoroughly turgid extremities, we depart from Saturnia. We cannot figure out how to buy gas; we use euros instead; we later learn that American cards cannot be used to purchase gas here. Driving through Tuscany, we pass many fields of sunflowers; it is delightfully cliche. We arrive to what was once a gradile (chestnut drying room) in ruins but is now restored to a picturesque cottage in the woods of Castagneto Carrducci, Tuscany. The isolation of the locale amplifies the emptiness of the pantry and fridge; we make our way back down to the village to purchase groceries. The clerk speaks no English and is annoyed with us as we did not weigh our fruit; we are embarrassed as we hold up the line; defeated, we leave the fruit behind. The village below the cottage is lined with bougainvsillea in bloom, purples and bright pinks spilling over stone walls. We eat dinner at the cottage, drink wine, and run inside when we hear noises in the dark woods. We peer out the window and see fireflies, of which there are at least eighteen species in Italy.

Travelling from the lush green landscapes of Scotland to the sun-drenched shores of Italy is more than just a trip; it's a journey of rejuvenation.

Whether you're looking for wellness travel packages that offer the ultimate in self-care or corporate retreat packages that blend business with relaxation, Europe has something to offer every wellness seeker. Ready to explore?

Introduction to Wellness Travel

Wellness travel is more than just a trend; it's a way to combine leisure with health, ensuring you return home feeling better than ever. But what exactly does it mean? Picture this: instead of a typical holiday filled with sightseeing and shopping, imagine a getaway where your itinerary includes yoga sessions at dawn, spa treatments, and healthy, gourmet meals. That's the essence of wellness travel.

Scotland: A Tranquil Starting Point

Your journey to wellness could begin right in the heart of Scotland, a country known for its breathtaking landscapes and serene atmosphere. The Scottish Highlands, with their rolling hills and pristine lochs, offer the perfect setting for a retreat that combines nature with relaxation. Many corporate retreat packages in Scotland focus on outdoor activities, like hiking and fishing, paired with wellness-focused offerings such as meditation and mindfulness sessions.

But it's not just about the scenery. Scotland's rich history and culture provide a unique backdrop for those looking to disconnect from the daily grind. Imagine unwinding in a rustic castle, where ancient walls have stories to tell, and every room is steeped in history. It's not just a retreat; it's an experience that reconnects you with yourself and the world around you.

Italy: The Epitome of Wellness

If Scotland is the beginning of your journey, Italy is undoubtedly the highlight. Known for its art, culture, and cuisine, Italy also boasts some of the world's most luxurious wellness travel packages. From the rolling vineyards of Tuscany to the crystal-clear waters of the Amalfi Coast, Italy offers a diverse range of wellness experiences that cater to every need.

In Italy, wellness is a way of life. The concept of "La Dolce Vita" is about more than just indulgence—it's about finding balance and living well. Whether you're soaking in the natural hot springs of Saturnia or enjoying a detoxifying mud bath in Ischia, Italy's wellness traditions are deeply rooted in the earth and its natural resources.

And let's not forget the food. Italian cuisine, known for its simplicity and fresh ingredients, is an integral part of any wellness journey. Picture yourself enjoying a meal made with freshly picked vegetables, olive oil, and aromatic herbs, all designed to nourish your body and soul.

Finding the Right Packages

Choosing the right corporate retreat packages or wellness travel packages can make all the difference in your wellness journey. It's not just about the destination; it's about what each package offers. Are you looking for a package that includes daily yoga and meditation sessions? Or perhaps you prefer a more active retreat with hiking and outdoor adventures?

When selecting a package, consider what you want to achieve from your trip. Do you need to de-stress and recharge? Or are you looking to improve your physical fitness and well-being? The right package will align with your personal goals, ensuring you get the most out of your wellness journey.

Making the Most of Your Journey

A wellness retreat is more than just a break from routine—it's an opportunity to make lasting changes in your life. To truly benefit from your wellness travel, approach it with an open mind and a willingness to embrace new experiences. Whether you're participating in a silent meditation retreat or trying out a new form of exercise, remember that the journey is about personal growth.

As you travel from the misty Highlands of Scotland to the sun-kissed shores of Italy, you'll discover that wellness is not just a destination—it's a journey that stays with you long after the trip is over. By choosing the right corporate retreat packages or wellness travel packages, you're not just booking a holiday—you're investing in yourself.

Wellness travel from Scotland to Italy offers a unique opportunity to combine relaxation, culture, and personal growth. With the right packages, you can create a journey that not only rejuvenates your body but also enriches your soul. So, are you ready to embark on a wellness journey that will leave you refreshed, revitalized, and ready to take on the world?

Genoa, Tuscany

Renting our car from the rental company in Genoa was a nightmare. We caught the 4 hour slow train up to Genoa Airport to get our car early in the morning, only to be told that we needed our passports to pick up the car. We have rented many cars in Europe and never once needed our passports and the email we had from Expedia said we only needed our international driver's licenses and New Zealand driver's licences. We then had to catch the medium fast train back to Monterosso to get our passports (3 hours) and get back on the fast train (2 hours) back to Genoa Airport. We were exhausted and grumpy when we got to the airport, ready to pick up our car. We got to the Drivalia counter to finally secure the keys, and the little tiny stupid man behind the counter told us we 'were late getting our car' (REALLY????) and Expedia had cancelled our booking. Sorry, what? We are all saying? Diana got straight on to the very helpful Expedia team who said "No, we wouldn't cancel your booking, you need to talk to Drivalia again" so we went back to the tiniest little stupidest man I have ever seen and said that Expedia hadn't cancelled from their end and he got annoyed at us and said "what do you want me to do????? I gave away your car. There is no car." So then we had to spend another hour begging other rental companies to give us a car. We eventually got a very large and Fancy Jeep and we were outta there with smoke coming off the wheels. We drove a couple of hours down the coast back to Monterosso, feeling grateful to be on the road and not on yet another train.

The next morning we drove by the walled city of Lucca, and had a Michelin star lunch of zuchinni ravioli. Delightful. Lucca is on my must-stay list now.

We drove through Tuscany sunflower spotting - in Tuscany there are huge fields of sunflowers on the side of the road that just go as far as the eye can see. We then drove to Saturnia, a tiny wee rural town in Tuscany, where we got a little bit lost after some bad directions from our AirBNB host, but we eventually found our accommodation - Royal Nibble it was called, in Saturnia. Our final destination was Rome, but Saturnia was about halfway along our drive, and had beautiful hotsprings we wanted to try so we did a night nearby in a very rural little stone house. On our way to the hot springs we saw what looked to be a lost dog, but a drive further down the road revealed a sign that said he was actually a working livestock guardian dog and he was not to be approached. Interesting! Later that night I was trying to do some work emails in the garden, wandering around in the dark trying to get cellphone reception, and a thought suddenly struck me - what are the working dogs protecting their sheep from in Tuscany? A quick google provided the answer - a local wolf population. I scuttled back inside pretty quick.

[studentessamatta]

Well, well, well, if it isn’t Saturnia the hot springs in the Maremma, one of Italy's best-kept secrets for hot water fanatics and spa junkies! I visited Saturnia a few years ago and it was a delightful experience… if not a bit crowded! Ah… the humanity! All shapes and sizes come here to soak away their aches, pains and troubles away and feel like a goddess (or god) in the process. Imagine being surrounded by rolling golden Tuscan hills and picturesque landscapes, in the steamy, mineral enriched waters that are said to have healing properties that can do wonders for your skin, muscles, and even your soul. So, don't be surprised if you come out of Saturnia feeling like a brand new person! #SaturniaHotSprings #MaremmaThermalWaters #TuscanyHotSprings #RelaxationDestination #NaturalSpaExperience #HealingWaters #SulfurousSprings #ItalianThermalBaths #HotSpringsRetreat #WellnessWeekend #RejuvenateInMaremma #SaturniaTerme #ThermalPools #MaremmaHotSprings #ItalianSpaGetaway https://www.instagram.com/p/CpeTIjKsqYS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Ah, Roma.

In all honesty, Italy swept me off my feet.

I’d never placed it too high on my bucket list, but I absolutely wouldn’t turn down the chance to catch a flight with my boyfriend + best friends. So here we are.

Our trip starts and finishes in Rome. Over 12 days we’d take TrenItalia (the amazing railway system in Italy) to Venice, Cinque Terre, Florence and Saturnia.

Our first stop was…

[nncastle]

One of our favorite stops during our trip was the Terme of Saturnia. This place defies words. The healing warm waters at Cascate del Mulino are free. I can’t wait to get back.

The warm sulphurous waters of Saturnia were well-known by first the Etruscans and later the Romans. In fact, they believed them to be a gift from the gods, and made good use of the waters and its healing powers. 

The Medieval legend has it that its springs are born in the exact point where Jupiter's thunderbolt fell in a battle against Saturn and the scars left by the thunderbolt were the portals to hell, and that's why there was the steamy and smelly water gushing out.
