THE SPA AND COMMON AREAS OF LA CASA MEDIEVALE IN PONTREMOLI
A unique and magical place, carved into the rock, rich in history and charm.
A spa with a large whirlpool bath
The Grotto SPA, located at level -1 of La Casa Medievale, is a unique environment carved into a room where the living rock of the Piagnaro hill enters the house, creating a suggestive and fascinating setting.
Our grotto offers guests a total relaxation experience with a large whirlpool bath for 10 people, complete with benches and chaise longues equipped with aeromassage jets for the whole body, with nozzles for shoulders, back, buttocks, legs, and a therapeutic waterfall for the neck.
All this is enhanced by adjustable chromotherapy underwater lights, allowing users to create the most relaxing atmosphere possible by customising the lighting according to their preferences.
The SPA cave can be used only by all guests of the four Suites with free access from 11:00 am to 11:00 pm.
A UNIQUE PLACE OF RELAXATION
THE RELAXATION ROOM AND ITS HISTORY
Every room tells of a unique past
Located on the -1 floor of La Casa Medievale, the current common room has always been a passage room to reach the others. Its small window increasingly shrunk until it was bricked up over the ages tells from its shapes how the town rose in level having departed from having been a door.
This little window in past eras was used as a "dumping ground" for discarded objects and various rubble.
Curiosity to see what that pile of "things" was hiding led us, during the early stages of restoration, to sift all the finds out of the earth and out came whole crates of various ceramics from the 1800s and 1900s. Broken plates, vases, figurines and a myriad of wonderful shards in a wide variety of colors which today you see displayed in the tables.
A kind of well carved into the thickness of the wall was found under the window, probably used in the past as a cattle feed dispenser. Some speculate the use of this room as a stable given also the convenient internal cobblestone road to reach this level from the road. This well is visible today enhanced by the relaxation corner located on the mezzanine of the common room.
The Internal Mediaeval Street
The entrance of La Casa Medievale is characterized by the presence of an original medieval road that has remained incorporated in the past centuries within the property.
We are told that in the past there was no street facade and this slope (surchet in dialect) was open to public passage as each room in the house belonged to a different owner.
Certainly the rooms on the lower levels were used as stables or caravanserais since with this internal road, transit could be facilitated with animals such as mules, horses and donkeys.
The walls of this room, like much of the entire house, still showed black marks from the fire that devastated Pontremoli in 1495 at the hands of Charles VIII's Swiss troops. No one since that time has laid a hand on these charred walls until our restoration, which left them in part purposely in evidence in a few places in the house as historical evidence.
