Need for relaxation? Spend your Easter holiday in a spa! - By: Michele De Capitani

With the arrival of spring the desires of taking a break from work and from everyday life to recover your strengths and take a rest rises: Christmas holidays are becoming a distant memory, while there are many weeks to go before summer arrives, but many people are becoming overtired, and along with stress and weariness also the desires of leaving the city and the daily routine rises.

In this sense Easter holidays, which coincide with the arrival of spring warm days, happen at the right moment, and if you are lucky enough to enjoy some days of vacation, Easter is the ideal moment to pack your suitcase and leave, even if only for few days. But where to go to use this short break in the best way? The days at your disposal might be only a few, and spring days are certainly lukewarm, but not completely settled: these two factors shrink the range of possibilities. It is probably better to avoid seaside resorts, or at least the ones in the North, if you hope to bronze yourself and swim in the sea (but there are also many seaside resorts, in Italy for example, that offer much more than sea and beach), while art cities might not be the right choice in this period, as there are always many tourists in these cities during Easter holidays, and above all if you need a totally relaxing and restful holiday. The eagerness of seeing and visiting everything in an art city might prevent you from relaxing completely. Also exotic destinations and faraway abroad cities are not the ideal places to go, due to the small number of days that you usually have at your disposal during Easter holidays: you might risk to make everything in a hurry and come back from your holidays even more tired and stressed than before.

So, if exotic destinations are too far, if it is still too cold for seaside resorts and if art cities are full of tourists what remains? Mountains or hills might be good ideas, but if you do not like this type of holiday or you are not looking for long walks, and above all if you want to accomplish your idea of complete relaxation, the solution is straightforward: a spa holiday, surrounded by people that take care of you, is what you are looking for. In order to recover your strengths and come back to work with more energy even a weekend in a thermal hotel with spa might be enough, but if you have some more days at your disposal you can book a whole week or a longer stay. In a spa you can find everything you might desire, from massages to beauty treatments, and if this is not enough, be informed that many cities with spas and thermal baths, like Abano Terme in Italy, also offer wonderful landscapes and sights that certainly add something more to your wellness holiday.
