The Buzz: Europe's Secret Spa Retreat

Europe's Secret Spa Retreat

Not entirely a secret, Villa Paradiso Spa on Lake Garda is a well-guarded weapon that is shared among stylish women in Italy with only their closest friends. It’s not as glitzy as the Thermes Marins in Monaco or as rigorous as the Ranch at Live Oak or the Ashram, but regulars swear by their results. The food is delicious; staff is nurturing; and comforts spare but cosseting (think Alpine, family-run chalet).
