listening of the body, that knows what one can or cannot do; it is necessary to slowly harmonize with gratitude and confidence with its changes. Practice is accessible to anyone, with clear and fulfilling
results, both physically and psychologically

Food is our source of energy. We need to critically measure and select it according to our specific requirements and lifestyle. At the same time food needs to remain a source of joy, variety, culture and creativity. We always offer healthy and well-balanced menus, in line with our traditions.With the detox programme, we suggest a three day detoxifying diet which will not erase the pleasure of taste and sight, and that draws from our traditions, as our ancestors knew how to eat and balance food better the we do now. With all dew precautions, we remind you of Anthony Bourdain’s words: ‘Your body isn’t a temple, it’s a funfais. Enjoy the ride’.
