Palazzo di Varignana: Luxury wellness retreats with Acquaviva Method

Thursday, January 25, 2024

Discover Palazzo di Varignana, a luxury Italian resort offering transformative wellness retreats with the unique Acquaviva Method.

Palazzo di Varignana, a luxury Italian resort, has recently introduced a variety of Health and Wellness Retreat packages, anchored in the pioneering Acquaviva Method.

This innovative approach was devised by Dr. Annamaria Acquaviva, a renowned dietician, nutritionist, and pharmacist, who also holds the position of Scientific Director at this luxury Italian resort. The Acquaviva Method, a signature of Palazzo di Varignana, embodies a holistic perspective on wellness, sustainability, and longevity, incorporating both scientific principles and holistic practices.

The luxury Italian resort’s commitment, under Dr. Acquaviva’s leadership, is to offer a vacation experience focused on wellness, sustainability, and longevity. This includes crafting specialized menus, a range of holistic activities, beauty treatments, and transformative experiences, all grounded in scientific research and proven effectiveness.

Dr. Annamaria Acquaviva, Scientific Director of Palazzo di Varignana, said: “Scientific research confirms that the human body is an extremely fascinating mechanism that functions optimally only if all parts are in balance with each other. Epigenetics, in fact, studies how environmental factors and lifestyle can influence the expression of genes, promoting health, disease or premature aging.

“Therefore, our destiny does not only depend on our genetic heritage, but above all on our lifestyle: how and what we eat, how and how much we sleep, how we manage stress, how we cultivate emotions, how much exercise we do.

“A conscious lifestyle helps to control the running of the “clock hands” dictated by unhealthy behaviours. It is therefore possible to modulate our DNA through strategies to express our full psycho-physical potential, create harmony between mind and body and promote healthy longevity.”

Acquaviva Method: The Quintessential Elements of Health

At this luxury Italian resort, the Acquaviva Method revolves around five essential elements of health, creating a transformational journey through science-based, integrated, and personalized protocols.

The five elements are:

1. Nutrition: Highlighting the vital role of functional and nutritional food in health and wellness.
2. Inner Harmony and Balance: Achieving complete well-being through inner peace and harmony.
3. Physical Activity: Recognizing exercise as a crucial part of a healthy lifestyle.
4. Sleep and Rest: Stressing the importance of sleep in mental, physical, and cognitive health.
5. Food and Cosmetic Integration: Addressing the need for dietary supplements to provide all necessary nutrients, vitamins, mineral salts, and antioxidants.

Maintaining a balance among these elements is key to achieving well-being and longevity at this luxury Italian resort.

Dr. Annamaria Acquaviva, Scientific Director of Palazzo di Varignana, added: “I accompany people in a “transformation”, the opportunity to express their potential, to rediscover psychophysical harmony and mental energy, to shine with a new form of beauty. Through the scientific method that I have formulated, based on the 5 Pillars of Health, I will point to highly performing, science-based, integrated, and customised protocols with a holistic approach.

“Thanks to tools and strategies and subsequent follow-up, it is possible to continue this rewarding experience of getting back into shape over time.”
