Looking for that essence of ‘la dolce vita’ in your wellness holiday? Look no further than a wellness retreat in Italy, a country as steeped in ancient wellness practices as it is in ancient history. Since the times of the Romans, the Italians have known the importance of taking life slowly and enjoying every minute, and a wellness holiday in Italy echoes this belief. 

Unsurprisingly, a huge part of a wellness retreat in Italy is around the food. You may be forgiven for thinking a detox or weight-loss retreat will mean you can’t enjoy the delicious Italian food. Health and well-being retreats in Italy focus on creating eye-catching and mouth-watering dishes of healthy, gourmet Italian cuisine.

The Lefay hotels group have chosen two of Italy’s most iconic and stunning locations for their destination spas. Lefay Resort Lago de Garda is situated high on the hillside overlooking Lake Garda and focuses on longevity through detox, weight-loss and gut-health retreats. Lefay Dolomites is a beautifully designed property located in the Dolomites mountains. This retreat focuses on longevity too, however, this wellness property specialises in longevity through diet and fitness.

Located in the ancient spa town of Castrocaro, Lucia Magnani Health Resort has been researching anti-ageing methods and treatments for over 40 years. The key pillar of this Italian retreat is its registered Long Life Method, which intertwines the latest, high-tech, spa technology with the healing properties of the mineral-rich water from the springs on which the resort sits.
