From this historical triangulation and with the legacy of the important archaelogical site of Minori, on the Amalfi Coast was born the spa, in the historic center of the small coastal town, in an environment at the same height of the Roman Villa. In the spa there are twenty centuries of history and two cultures meeting between vapors and fumes. It is designed to make customers feel like an amniotic fluid, in a succession of environments that describe a path all bearing the physical and psychological distance from the nitty-gritty of everyday life.
