Make summer last just a little bit longer by treating yourself to a weekend of wellbeing at an agriturismo! September is the perfect month to enjoy the lovely weather and quieter tourism season, not to mention, recharge your batteries.

Whether you returned to work a few days or a few weeks ago, September is always a challenging month. The first cold spells and backlog of tasks at the office seem to erase all the beneficial effects of summer - including your tan - in the blink of an eye! 

But don’t give in to the post-summer blues. We have the remedy! Treat yourself to a rejuvenating weekend at one of the many farmhouses in Italy offering guests fresh air, healthy food, and most of all, pampering treatments for body and mind.

The peaceful countryside is the ideal environment to restore your energy, perhaps with a yoga or reiki session, or renew emotional and physical balance with an Ayurvedic massage. Relaxing in a thermal pool, steamy Turkish bath or hot sauna is the perfect culmination to a day spent outdoors walking in the woods, cycling, or simply breathing in autumn’s first autumnal scents.

In addition to traditional spa treatments like massages and stone therapy, many agriturismi offer innovative holistic treatments featuring locally grown ingredients. Wine therapy, for example, uses leaves, grapes and wine in baths, massages, body scrubs and body wraps - often in combination with mineral-rich thermal water - to enhance health benefits.

Extra-virgin olive oil is an all-round beauty star: a veritable elixir of youth for your skin. It’s also a valuable ally in nail and hair care, perfect for repairing damage caused by salt and sun. Olive oil treatments are increasingly varied and imaginative, making the experience a unique moment of pure pleasure.

Mountain enthusiasts are already aware of the benefits of a hay bath, an ancient ritual in South Tyrol which banishes fatigue and muscle tension. In farms nestled in the countryside, hay baths are combined with other natural remedies using herbs from the surrounding mountains.

And that’s not all… some agriturismi also offer a menu of mouthwatering treatments featuring ingredients like chocolate, honey or cherries - nature’s sweet weapons against stress, signs of ageing and even cellulite - with a magical effect on your mood!

In Italy you’re truly spoilt for choice! Take advantage of September’s special offers and treat yourself to the luxury of an inexpensive break focused on peace, relaxation and some well-deserved pampering.
