Being a mum is hands down the most beautiful thing in the world, but of course it can get a bit tough sometimes! Although their lovely faces and a mother’s love makes it all worth it, it does not take away the fact that it all can get very exhausting. According to Psychologist Dr. Nava R. Silton, taking a momcation or indulging in self-care is not just be good for your physical, psychological, and socio-emotional health, it will benefit your family members too. You will go back refreshed, a better wife, and a more patient mother.
So why not give yourself some regular healing and recuperating time to remind yourself of the good things life has to offer either alone or with some friends? A quick trip to Italy is just what the doctor ordered, more specifically the modern and chic playground city of Milan!
The Palazzo Parigi Hotel and Spa
At the heart of Milan lies the full-of-life Palazzo Parigi hotel, and on its third floor is the Grand Spa, a wellness haven for a complete healing experience. The Moroccan-inspired decor by Pierre-Yves Rochon, a renowned French architect, creates an out-of-this-earth atmosphere to prepare you for a holistic journey. You could book a treatment room, with a double Spa if you wish for some privacy with your partner.
