The health retreats offered at the hotel are based on the "Acquaviva Method", developed by physician and author Dr. Annamaria Acquaviva. This holistic and scientifically backed method for achieving complete well-being is described in her book "Health Revolution: The Five Pillars of Health". The retreats provide tailored longevity menus to enhance physical and mental performance, as well as promote beauty and well-being. Dr. Acquaviva serves as an inspirer, coach, dietician, dietary advisor, and pharmacist. She guides participants through a "transformation" to achieve health, better sleep, harmony, mental energy, weight loss, and an improved self-image.

When asked about her method, she replies that it's not about anything fancy, but about applying science to the individual. It involves a tailored approach for each person, based on the best practices she has developed over the years.

The fundamental key to health and longevity is to live according to the following five pillars:

  • Personalised nutrition
  • Inner balance and harmony
  • Physical activity
  • Sleep and rest
  • Dietary and cosmetic supplements

Free Time

Guided tours through the fascinating park (for a fee). Tennis, squash, and paddle courts, cycling and hiking trails.
