Sauna with fireplace
For the well-being of its guests, Virgabali offers a historic sauna, renovated in the summer of 2021, for a family or a group of up to 10 people. (Preference is given to guests staying in the guest house). The bathhouse has stood on the site for about 100 years and is now restored and furnished and awaits the bathers. However, the interior layout of the sauna has been changed - the only evidence of the former sauna is the black, sagging ceiling, which we also left intact. The old hallway is now a sauna room, separated from the hallway by a built-in window, giving the feeling of a house within a house.
Guests can also enjoy unforgettable sauna rituals under the guidance of a professional sauna master. The sauna treatment lasts up to 4 hours (for couples or individuals). It consists of an introductory talk - about people, health and the importance of sauna in people's lives. A foot bath, warming the feet among flowers, cones and other natural products, followed by a sauna - warming the body, cleansing (herbal scrub), filling (honey and spanking). And at the end - bathing in a pond or in a pond, being in harmony with the earth and nature - lying down in the grass and listening to the cranes. Finally, freshly cut fruit and herbal tea are served.
For families and groups of friends, the sauna retreat offers an opportunity to get to know each other better and to learn the basics of the art of sauna. In Rolands' sauna, not only the sauna brooms, but also the organ sounds, and it is said that sometimes a folk song can be heard in the back door during the sauna.
The sauna house is currently available for a special occasion or a romantic stay in a LUX room with access to the pond and terrace, complete with sauna and hot tub.
