Deep Sleep Retreat

Sleep well to live better.

How important is sleep for each of us? Not only is it important, it is a fundamental part of our lives. Its quality is essential for the balance of the body as well as the mind.

Our lifestyle affects our health: lack of sleep can cause chronic tiredness and irritability, as well as intervening on cognitive abilities, decreasing the attention span, influencing learning and memory. It can also have negative consequences on metabolism, promote obesity, heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s.

This Deep Sleep Retreat is recommended for those who suffer from insomnia and have difficulty falling asleep. Designed to treat sleep disorders and make it deeper and more rewarding. Useful for rediscovering sleep-wake rhythm, clarity of mind and mental abilities. This program includes functional nutrition based on chronotype, merged with a personalised physical activity plan and specific Varsana SPA treatments.

This exclusive resort nestled in the hills of Bologna represents an ideal context for taking care of yourself: its healthy microclimate and moderate altitude are ideal for their beneficial effect, which also favors a good quality of rest.
