L’ESSENZA DEL CONVITTO

 

In the heart of a Florentine convent, every step echoes among ancient stones and frescoes that whisper stories of centuries past. Here, silence soothes the soul, and history inspires an inner renewal. Well-being becomes more than care for the body, it is a sacred experience: slow, essential, profound.
Here, every gesture, every breath, becomes a celebration of authentic beauty.
A place where history and the present dance together, and every moment transforms into perfect harmony.

 

Access to the rooms and restaurant services is available exclusively to those who enter the wellness center.

Vitarium is a wellness solution of excellence that combines the best of Finnish sauna and Turkish bath in an elegant and technologically advanced environment. With a temperature of around 50°C and humidity controlled at 40%, it offers deep well-being thanks to essences, steam, enveloping heat, meditative music, and pure essential oils. The innovative ventilation system and thermal accumulation ensure uniform comfort and energy efficiency. An exclusive sensory experience to be enjoyed in our spa, designed to regenerate body and mind in an atmosphere of pure relaxation.

The variations in light recreate evocative natural atmospheres, accompanying the body and mind on a unique and regenerating sensory journey.

Vertical Shower

The Vertical Shower offers a complete wellness experience thanks to a massaging action that involves the whole body. The different water jets act in a targeted manner on the back, shoulders, and cervical area, promoting muscle relaxation and general well-being.
