Grand Hotel & Riviera resort from Stenal

Great attention in every details, old-fashioned atmosphere and a valuable position overlooking the sea of Tuscany; the Grand Hotel & Riviera resort, located in the center of Lido di Camaiore, a few kilometers from Lucca, is equipped with modern facilities, a large pool and a conference room with 90 seats. 

Its 70 rooms overlook the coast or offer the splendid view of the Alps, attracting guests from all around the world who are enchanted by the immense golden beach and the lively social life offered by the Versilia land.

The philosophy of the structure, which has always focused on raising constantly its quality standards, led to the recent opening of the SPA area, built with technologies provided by Stenal (www.stenal.it ), a company founded more than 30 years ago that has now become a leading Spa Equipment producer worldwide.

The brand new spa area features a Finnish sauna with modern design, characterized by a front side in transparent glass, which makes this sauna from Topclass line bright and cozy at the same time; with the purpose to offer an experience of complete relaxation, the sauna is enriched by music therapy and color therapy. The choice of employing Hemlock wood - a Canadian wood with no Knots and a bright, uniform texture - instead of the traditional Pine wood, leads to a cabin of outstanding elegance.

The scented turkish bath, closed to the sauna, is enlightened by an impressive starry sky with color therapy.  The walls are covered with a texture in the colors of walnut, in contrast with the pale marble benches: lighting from under the benches and soothing notes of music therapy envelop guests with multisensory atmospheres, drawing a place of great peace and meditation.

The wellness paths offers also Emotion_Ray, last model of the experience showers collection produced by Stenal. 

These particular showers are created to enclose in a single technology a play of lights, sounds and scents, and have now become one of the most successful equipment of the Wellness path.  Emotion_Ray replaces the traditional shower after sauna or turkish bath, that was only meant to refresh the body and reactivate the microcirculation, with an experience of complete well-being, designed to amplify the perception of relaxation involving all the senses. By pressing a button, a delicate color therapy in the shades of warm lights comes along with Citrus scented notes and a torrential tropical rain, which carries the guest through the magical atmosphere of the Amazon forest. The second button activates a new scenario, that turns into an arctic landscape, where the thin fog cold descends accompanied by the fragrance of the Mint balsamic essence and lights that vary in the shades of blue.

The wellness area offers also a 34 degrees hot tub, a comfortable relaxation area, massage cabins and a wide range of aesthetical treatments..
