Experience The ExceptionalIn this millennium of constant overdrive, there is a lot to be said for the heavenly and hedonistic pleasures of Spa pampering and healing therapies. Juggling our personal and professional responsibilities, coupled with the balancing act of both relationships & professional commitments has many people feeling less than attractive, sporting calluses and dark under eye circles with little time to remedy. Taking a moment to experience an aromatherapy massage could benefit many a new age woman or man. In our current accelerated computer and caffeine addicted society even weekends are crammed. All these 21st century plagues leave little room for harried bodies and stressed souls. Five star Hotel Can Bonastre Wine Resort & Spa has the answers to all your discomforts including a detailed Pillow Carte offering its´ guests a wonderful array of 6 assorted pillow shapes and sizes from which to choose. Hotel Spa Can Bonastre, a boutique, elite, 12 room, luxurious wine resort where you can wish upon a star and / or be a star is located 25 km from the foothills of the enchanting Sierra de Montserrat National Park and 5 km from San Sadourni in the heart of Catalan Cava country. The exceptional Spa El Achua offers a perfect spa smorgasbord of year round delights including chocolate wraps, podal treatments for tired feet, an indoor pool, sauna, heaven scent aromatherapy massages, the perfect gift or indulgence and very exclusive wine thérapies. Chef Carlos Milán, disciple of three Michelin star Chef Carme Ruscadella, is the head Chef of Restaurante Tribia and furthermore, Hotel Can Bonastre´s surrounding idyllic Alt Penedès districts are steeped in their very own wineyards, certainly a superb location. Handed down generation by generation, this hotel is situated in a restored medieval Mediterranean farmhouse ( másia ) on land dating back to 1548 and is still in the hands of the Vallès Family. This is one of the most magical marvels in the district of Masquefa. The attention to detail is immediately evident upon arrival. Halfway Between Heaven & EarthWhen it comes to stress reduction, there is nothing quite like a body massage. Hippocrates, the father of medicine, recommended a daily massage with essential oils as the path to good health. Massage Therapist Encarna Pérez told me, massage reawakens body awareness and stimulates the flow of lymphatic fluid. She further stated, that you are never too young or too old for massage and studies on babies have shown that when infants are massaged they are more active and responsive, exhibiting more control over their emotions and have fewer health problems. Encarna also revealed, the art of profound soul healing massage is a transference of human healing energy that soothes the emotions as well as the physical self. Encarna´s healing hands provided me with a sensation of being half way between heaven and earth with relief for my tired legs, aching muscles and discomfort. Spa Director Albert Cuzco Bertran said, that the spirit maybe tangible, however, when it comes to pampered healing, it is often the spirit that is touched most profoundly. The feet have been described by Leonardo Da Vinci´as nothing less than masterpieces of engineering and works of art. Indeed Encarna and Albert are exemplary reflexologists and expert massage therapists who believe that the feet are a mirror to the body because the health of the entire being can be unveiled by your feet!
