The Palazzo di Varignana, an exclusive resort in the Bolognese hills, has a new holistic programme that aims at solving sleep disorders and boosting psychophysical wellbeing. Green Bathing, Yoga Nidra and Mindfulness, combined with nutritional plans and treatments in the Varsana Spa, are all ingredients of this personalized programme.
The programme of three of six nights aims at achieving perfect harmony
Every change of season can correspond to a change of habits, and the return from holidays and the stress of daily life can cause tiredness, anxiety and sleep disturbances. One solution is the Deep Sleep Programme, a multidisciplinary path with a holistic approach that aims at raising awareness of sleep disorders and transforming the quality of rest for guests to achieve perfect harmony within the body. The programme is in two versions of three or six nights, and was created by dietician, nutritionist and pharmacist Annamaria Acquaviva, who is the health coach responsible for the Resort’s wellness and health projects. 
Diet is important and menus are personalized, using local produce
Among the physical activities at the Resort we find Green Bathing, a sensory journey along which guests are guided through the Villa Amagioia park, one of the hundred most beautiful gardens in Italy and part of the Resort's 300-hectare estate. Other relaxing activities include Yoga Nidra, also known as Sleep Yoga, an ancient tantric technique useful for relieving stress. Diet is another pillar of the programme with personalized menus based on the chronotype of each guest and products sourced from the resort’s gardens that are expertly transformed by the chefs to obtain their maximum nutritional properties. Guests can also enjoy the Deep Sleep Massage, an aromatherapy ritual that acts on three sensory pathways, promoting sleep, physical rebalancing and recovery from jet lag.
