In areas full of memories we find our history, conscious of being part of the Cosmos and looking to the present we give a joyous welcome to another spring. We discover the origins of flavours, of taste and of beauty.
Our arrival is foreseen during Friday. From 14.00 hrs. you may check into your room and can immerse yourself in the historic and elegant atmosphere of the Grand Hotel & La Pace in whose reception rooms and lounges you can still imagine Giacomo Puccini moving around, the elegant strides of King Vittorio Emanuele II of Savoia and the pacing up and down of Pirandello, the writer.
You are in the green heart of Montecatini, surrounded by the centuries old trees of the thermal park and the sparkling shop windows of the main street, free to explore or to laze in the very new wellness centre of the hotel.
Your first appointment is foreseen in the evening: whilst enjoying a welcome herb tea, your Tuscan Spirit ambassador will present your programme and will introduce you to your companions.
The experience becomes alive with your first session of yoga dedicated to breathing and to relaxation in preparation for a deep and tranquil sleep.
Start your day with a special buffet of fresh fruit juices, hot drinks and simple biological biscuits which will provide you with the energy and lightness required for the morning holistic session: a combination of tai-chi and walking meditation in the park leading you to the gates of the splendid Tettuccio Thermal Baths.
Salus Per Acquam: today, as in times past, the lay ritual of the “water cure” (against doctor’s prescription) is celebrated in an environment moulded by art and nature holding faith to the principle whereby water heals the body and beauty is the only cure for the soul. You will have free time to immerse yourself in the evocative atmosphere of the place to the sound of classical music played by the orchestra.
From the temples of classic well being to those of contemporary wellness is but a short step: on returning to the hotel relaxation awaits you in the “humid” area of the spa, an hour of individual holistic massage for your innermost harmony; a buffet brunch of a variety of fresh foods; hot dishes for your nourishment and free time to explore or rest.
In the late afternoon another leap in time: a short journey with the small historic funicular train to the knoll from which rises the medieval village of Montecatini Alto. In the halls of the old theatre, located on the scenic little square, a dinner of antique flavours inspired by the typical dishes of peasant tradition will be served.
A pleasant wake-up with your usual buffet of fresh fruit juices and hot drinks. You will be ready, therefore, for your first morning practical session dedicated to energy yoga.
With vitality and awareness renewed, you will follow – together with your companions – the park walks to celebrate with tai-chi movements the flow of energy of the world.
In the late morning you will take your leave of Montecatini and from the echo of its past with an elegant aperitif will be served: a toast to a new spring and to a goodbye to new friends conclude your experience.
