Umbrian heaven

Wednesday 17 November -We decided to really relax and purchase the "Couples promotional offer" at the "Wellness Centre" here at La Casella.

What an experience!.....almost 5 hours of Turkish Steam bath, Sauna, Spa and of course....Alessio, our Italian "therapeutic masseuse"...you'll have to ask Chris about her hour of heaven, but spaeaking for myself it was fantastic....pressure point work, full body massage, essential oils, hot stones, water (& oil) dripped over my back, head & legs, time to rest... and all this in a darkened room, tea lights, & soothing music.....no words... and my massage lasted well over an hour. Then back into the resting room with Earl Grey tea, honey & lemon...enjoying the beautiful views out into the garden...the hills, the stone pools outside...all very relaxing, before more steam baths, saunas & spa time. Finished with a hot shower & beautifully scented bath oils. And apart from "our Alessio" we had the place to ourselves for the 5 hours!! What a way to unwind!!
