The ethereal, shimmering beauty of Venice is best enjoyed during the winter months, but guests of The Bauers can look forward to the spring with a new luxury spa treatment which uses the sweet scent of mountain herbs and prehistoric minerals.
Based on the wisdom of the ancients, the five-star Bauer hotel collection provide world class well-being treatments in the very heart of Venice, at the luxury Palladio Hotel and Spa on Guidecca Island.
The Primordial Massage with Silver Quartzite is a new energetic spa treatment to restore and revive, using holistic healing principles to rebalance the body and mind. Classified as a ‘medical mineral,’ the unique energetic and dermatological properties of silver quartzite rock are combined with wild herb essences from the Central Alps for this all over body massage.
Based on the healing traditions surrounding the geology of the South Tyrol region, the heated stone is rubbed over the entire body, beginning with the soles of the feet. Working in accordance with the four elements of fire, earth, air and water in the body, the medicinal properties of Silver Quartzite are supported by the Alpine flower essences of Larch, Hypericum, Borage, Lavender and Juniper. By concentrating on the body’s natural energy points, the treatment not only induces a deep sense of well being, but improves circulation, stimulates cell metabolism and digestion, relieves pain, reduces stress, and energises the entire body. The delicate facial massage with lavender relaxes and soothes – leaving the skin elastic, smooth and radiant. This treatment ritual will plunge you into the primordial forces of the mountains of South Tyrol, releasing your own inner energies in a truly sensory way.
The Palladio Spa is inside the Palladio Hotel on Guidecca Island, and is available to all Bauer guests. Accessed from the mainland by a complementary shuttle boat, the spa is a luxury complex featuring eight treatment rooms. Trusted by the world’s most sophisticated guests, the spa provides the ultimate in indulgence within historic five star accommodation.
