An ideal setting for a romantic and exclusive wellness break
We’re halfway between the Italian Alps and the Po plain, in the magnificent Franciacorta region of Lombardy. The 19th-century palazzo and its estate are surrounded by green hills and vineyards, overlooking the romantic Lake Iseo, just a few kilometers away. Not far away, the mythical cities of Bergamo and Verona await visitors in search of beauty.
The 5-star Relais & Château L’Albereta hotel is just as appealing to the casual traveler as it is to Dr. Henri Chenot, founder of the famous detox method that activates the body’s self-healing powers, so popular with wellness enthusiasts and celebrities alike.
An eclectically decorated 19th-century palazzo
Part of the estate is reserved for the 38 richly decorated rooms and suites of this 5-star Relais & Château hotel. Your detox will take on a romantic dimension when you choose the Cabriolet suite. Featuring a balcony overlooking the lake and vineyards, not to mention an extraordinary ceiling that slides across the firmament, allowing you to contemplate the starry sky.
The palace cultivates the art of good taste, multiplying Italian references, combining comfort and allure with personality and cachet. It boasts numerous terraces, an outdoor swimming pool in summer and a 61-hectare park.
It houses an astonishing collection of sculptures, a veritable open-air museum designed to celebrate both the entry into the third millennium and young contemporary creation.
L’Espace Chenot: a unique spa in Italy
From the outside, the neo-Renaissance building has the charm of an ancient palazzo, yet it conceals a range of modern facilities: the Spa “Espace Chenot” and its 2,000m² entirely dedicated to health, fitness and beauty.
Nature is omnipresent in Albereta, and the Espace Chenot, designed by Italian architect Ettore Mocchetti, is no exception: open to this verdant nature, soothing thanks to its vast picture windows.
Water takes center stage on the building’s first floor, with a vast indoor swimming pool. Not far away, an aromatic steam bath and a sauna sit alongside a gym and hydrotherapy area.
The first floor is dedicated to treatments and diagnostics, with a nutritional assessment, energy tests, individual treatment cabins and an herbal tea area. A total of 50 people are entirely dedicated to the health and well-being of spa visitors.
The Chenot method, between East and West
With its 40 years of experience, the Chenot method is the highlight of the spa. Derived from the combination of traditional Chinese medicine and Western therapies, this method aims to restore an optimal physical and mental state, thanks to tailor-made detoxification and energy rebalancing techniques.
L’Albereta can support you in the following areas of health and well-being:
- Overweight: slimming, diabetic management, cardiovascular or joint problems.
- Stress: stress-related cardiac, vascular, dermatological or neurological pathologies, hypertension, sleep disorders, libido problems, anxiety, muscle tension and low back pain.
- Age : regeneration, prevention of accelerated aging and aging of connective tissue.
- Overall health : improved physical and mental well-being.
The devices and therapies used to enhance customer well-being are varied, ranging from regenerative medicine to fitness, aesthetic medicine andhydro-biontology. Hydro-biontology is entirely devoted to the health of the lymphatic and circulatory systems, and is the foundation of the Chenot method.
In addition to simple à la carte treatments, visitors looking for a real cure will benefit from consultations specially designed to assess certain health parameters in detail: oxidative stress, arterial age, presence of glycation by-products (accelerated ageing), food intolerance, nutritional assessment, to name but the most common.
Once the diagnosis has been made, the center will suggest exclusive, customized treatments: bioenergetic treatment, ozone therapy, colon hydrotherapy, acupuncture, anti-oxidant cocktail.
