On Garda Lake Wellness is Green
Bardolino, on the eastern shore of Garda Lake, just 25 km from the historical downtown of Verona (Veneto), is famous for Bardolino DOC wine and it is famous worldwide for the Opera Festival in the Arena.
Wellness is important too. Healthy thermal water originates in the slopes of Monte Baldo (2.218 mt). The natural mineral water is part of the thermal oligomineral waters. It is characterized by the high content of calcium, magnesium and sodium bicarbonate. It offers benefits both to the skin and to the organism.
In Bardolino Deluxu.it Magazine visited Aqualux Hotel Spa Suite & Terme.
It is a fully eco-friendly hotel located a few minutes from the elegant centre. Aqualux Hotel Spa Suite & Terme features 125 rooms, of which 18 are suites, furnished with an essential and modern style that reflects the colors of nature. The AquaExperience with 8 pools, the AquaSpa & Wellness and the AquaFitness distinguishes itself as the most aesthetically appealing hotel in the Lake Garda region.
"We use geothermal systems. The hotel structure is built in wood with the exception of the stairs and elevators and the concept of energy savings has been met both in the choice of heating systems and in all the technical installations of the hotel", says manager Lara Udovini. "Next year we will open a new area with pure thermal water".
