The Italian flagship spa of the health and wellness company Chenotlocated in the Hotel L'Albereta, has undergone an extensive refurbishment and has launched new programming and diagnostic tests.
Founded by the late Henri Chenot, the Chenot Group is responsible for the development of the The Chenot Method, a programme aimed at protecting the body from damage, toxin accumulation and premature ageing.
