Those who feel like they have overindulged during the festive season can head for a holiday to a property in Italy for some rest and rejuvenation.

Writing for the Daily Mail, Carla Powell said that as "a spa veteran" she has taken trips to many different health farms and had to put up with "stern diets" and out-of-the-ordinary treatments.

However, for those searching for a relaxing and detoxing spa break, a holiday to a property in Italy could be ideal.

She recently headed to the Espace Henri Chenot spa, which is in the Palace Merano Hotel in South Tyrol, and called the place a great place to relax and escape, which is manned by "discreet and sympathetic staff".

South Tyrol is a province in Italy which boasts areas ideal for owners of Italian property who enjoy outdoor pursuits.

"The SudTirol shares with Trentino a unique mountain landscape of exceptional beauty, with jagged pinnacles, craggy ridges and sheer rock face," said Travel Plan.
