Spending time among trees has been scientifically proven to be beneficial for our wellbeing and health. Even spending as little as 15 minutes in a woodland setting can make a difference – reducing stress, boosting the immune system and alleviating depression. It’s an immersive experience with long-lasting effects. At Oasyhotel, as you may have noticed, we have lots of trees – and so have devised four trails for forest bathing, the meditative practice of relaxing among nature, as well as highlighting trees that could be beneficial to our inner organs, according to the concept of Bioenergetic Landscapes.
Far from the city lights, the clear dark skies above Oasyhotel are some of the most beautiful in Italy and offer a stunning view of the stars. This activity, subject to weather conditions, provides a mesmerising look at the cosmos and an unforgettable experience of the nocturnal environment.
There is no better way to admire nature than from the water’s edge of your own private lake. By climbing into one of our kayaks or by balancing on a paddle board, you can experience an adventure in magnificent silence, shades of light and the harmony between water and sky.
Beside sunbathing and kayaking around, at the lake it is also possible to enjoy a peaceful and invigorating swim inside our lake-shore bio- swimming pool. The floating wooden structure of the pool channels the chill and clear water of the lake in a controlled and regularly sanitized space, permitting our guests an unusual but safe swimming experience.
