The combination of spa treatments and the Mediterranean diet represents an integrated approach to well-being that unites the therapeutic benefits of thermal waters with the health properties of one of the most balanced diets in the world.
This combination offers an experience of **physical and mental regeneration**, promoting the health of the body, reducing stress and promoting longevity.
This is the central theme of an itinerary that winds from the slopes facing south of the southern chain of the Picentini mountains to the Sele valley where the Mozzarella di Bufala, one of the main products of Campania, reigns supreme.
In this area, the integration of spa treatments with the Mediterranean diet represents not only a holistic approach to well-being but also the “traditions” that promote a healthy, balanced and sustainable lifestyle, which focuses on disease prevention, relaxation and improving the quality of life.
Spa treatments offer immediate physical and mental benefits, while the Mediterranean diet supports long-term health, making this combination an ideal alliance for a healthy and long-lived life.
