What to Do and What to Avoid for a Perfect Wellness Stay in Montegrotto Terme

Have you booked your stay at Casa Luna and are you ready to immerse yourself in the regenerating world of the Montegrotto Spas? Fantastic! The spas are a place of deep well-being, relaxation, and care, but to fully enjoy this experience, it is useful to know some small unwritten rules, a sort of "spa etiquette". Do not worry, it is not a complicated code, but simple measures to respect the atmosphere of peace and guarantee a serene stay for you and all the other guests. We at Casa Luna are here to give you some "insider" tips!

1. Before Leaving Casa Luna: Intelligent Preparation

A small measure in preparation can make a big difference. The Essential Kit:

Swimsuit: Bring at least two, to always have a dry one.
Non-slip slippers: Essential for safety and hygiene.
Swim cap: Mandatory in most thermal pools.
Bathrobe or sponge towel: To cover up between pools or for the relaxation area. Many thermal hotels provide them, but it is good to check.
Wet swimsuit bag: Useful for not wetting the rest of your personal belongings.
Moisturizing cream: Thermal water, although beneficial, can dry out the skin.
Water bottle: It is essential to hydrate constantly.
Medical Consultation (for treatments): If you intend to do cycles of mud therapy, balneotherapy, or inhalation treatments, remember that a prescription from your general practitioner (or a consultation with the local spa doctor) is often required to access subsidized treatments or for specific advice.

2. In the Pool and Thermal Area: Respect for Relaxation

Thermal pools are places of quiet and regeneration. Let's help maintain this atmosphere.

Mandatory Shower: Before entering the pool, always take a shower. It is a matter of hygiene and respect for other guests.
Keyword: Silence or Low Tone of Voice: Avoid shouting and loud conversations. Many people come to the spas to relax, read, or meditate. Use a moderate tone of voice, especially in the hydromassage areas or relaxation zones.
No Diving or Noisy Games: Thermal pools are not water parks. Avoid diving, excessive splashing, or noisy games that could disturb. If you are with children, make sure they also respect these rules (many hotels have pools dedicated to the little ones).
Occupation of Beds and Sunbeds: Do not "reserve" sunbeds with a towel if you are not using them. Give everyone the chance to use them.
Constant Hydration: Thermal water is hot and beneficial, but it can promote dehydration. Drink plenty of natural water between baths. There are often fountains or dedicated areas.
Cell phones and Devices: Avoid excessive use of cell phones. Enjoy the present moment and the atmosphere. Better to leave it in the locker, or use it only for quick and discreet photos, with the volume off.
Kneipp Path: If you use the Kneipp path (alternating hot/cold), do it following the instructions and without stopping for too long or creating blocks.

3. In the SPA and Wellness Areas: The Harmony of Quiet

Saunas, Turkish baths, emotional showers, and relaxation areas are spaces dedicated to silence and deep well-being.

Absolute Silence: In saunas, Turkish baths, and especially in relaxation areas, silence is golden. If you must speak, do it in a whisper, or even better, enjoy the silence.
Hygiene: In the sauna or Turkish bath, always use a towel to sit on, for hygienic reasons.
Massages and Treatments: If you have booked a massage or treatment, show up on time. Turn off your cell phone before entering the cabin.
Cold/Lukewarm Shower: After the sauna or Turkish bath, it is good practice to take a cold or lukewarm shower to wake up the circulation before moving to the relaxation area.

4. After the Spas: Returning to Casa Luna

Well-being continues even upon your return.

Post-Thermal Rest: After treatments or a long day in the pool, the body continues to work. A period of rest, even short, is advisable. Casa Luna, with its quiet atmosphere, is the ideal place for this.
Hydrated Skin: Do not forget to hydrate your skin well after the thermal water, especially if you have done mud treatments.
Get Used to it Gradually: If you are new to the spas, do not overdo it immediately with long baths or too many treatments in a single day. Listen to your body.
