About The Trip
The healing powers of these mud baths have been life-altering for some in managing such chronic diseases as psoriasis, eczema, and arthritis, to name just a few. For many people, the therapeutic benefits that the mud baths provide are greater than the results obtained when following traditional therapies.
For physical respite and a stark change of scenery, we offer packages where experienced guides will enhance your stay ensuring a safe and pleasurable visit to the island. Massage therapist, Biagina DiFazio, along with partner and Travel specialist, Angela Landry will accompany and guide you on your journey to Vulcano. Their balanced approach combines the benefits of daily visits to the healing mud baths, along with ample time for rest and relaxation.
Together, they have created a Vulcano Island Wellness Trip, a 12-day wellness & relaxation package vacation which includes :
- Shuttle and Ferry
- Hotel Accommodations in Vulcano (5 minute shuttle to and from the mud baths; 1 km walk if preferred)
- All Meals (excluding alcohol – local wine is very inexpensive)
- Gluten-free food available as well as food prepared for people with other allergies
- Access to mud baths and thermal springs
- Professional Guide
