The water for running the pool comes from its own well. This makes it easy to completely change the water every spring. The spring water has been analyzed and contains a high percentage of oxygen, a lot of magnesium and calcium. For hygienic reasons and for the destruction of possible bacteria a disinfection of the water is necessary. Several methods are suitable for this. The best known and frequently used method is that of chlorine. However, chlorine has the disadvantage that it has a relatively aggressive effect on eyes, skin and organs. The Guarda Mare Wellness Pool is operated with precious Dead Sea salt. It is not saltwater in the classical sense, but salt that is broken down into components by an electrolysis process. This method is not widespread in Europe but in Australia and South Africa. We use the facility of the Australian world market leader Monarch. Our Sea Salt is of the highest quality and 100% natural. Without artificial additives and with a moisture content of max. 2%. With this salt, the geological and climatic conditions are almost unique. The Dead Sea is located in a depression about 400m below sea level. There are temperatures of 40 ° C, there is little rainfall and the air is clear and absolutely low in pollutants. Ingredients: 99.0% NaCl, 0.10% Mg, 0.12% So4, 0.10% Ca, 0.18% K (Analysis: Test Report 12003116 – 012 Hamburg 2012) Brine baths are relaxing for the soul and the mind a pronounced cosmetic and health-promoting effect on the skin. Pure salt contains a wealth of minerals and trace elements that are absorbed by the skin pores during bathing. These minerals and trace elements promote blood circulation in the lower layers of the skin and have a firming and revitalizing effect. Next, they make the skin silky smooth and supple. Brine baths are also suitable for the treatment of skin problems such as psoriasis, atopic dermatitis and acne and should also relieve rheumatism, gout and joint discomfort symptoms. Also, treatments for desensitization in allergies are common and the osmotic action of the salt positively affects the autonomic nervous system.

Wellbeing

We especially enjoyed the brine pool. When we came back from our excursions in the evening, it was a pleasure to bathe in the pleasant refreshing water. Especially our children enjoyed the compatibility of the water. And in the morning, the absolute energy boost. Especially in summer, the altitude of Guarda Mare makes a particularly positive impact.

Laura (Organisation)

Organisation

My parents had bought Guarda Mare more than 20 years ago. So I had the opportunity during my entire childhood there to spend my holidays. I enjoyed this very much. During the day we always went to the sea, as there was no pool at Guarda Mare. From time to time we went to Siena, Florence or Rome or had to assist our parents in haunted places, with alleys that did not fit cars, with wine, pasta, cheese or olive oil samples. Well, that’s right, the good ice has always compensated us. After a few years ago was renovated very expensive, I help with the rental of Guarda Mare.

Fabio

Service

The large ground of Guarda Mare requires some activities. I try to leave as many flowers as possible in our region. Wild fennel, broom are just two of a great biodiversity. But of course it should look well groomed. So we seek the compromise between conservation of diverse fauna and representative of the property Guarda Mare.

Andrea

Owner

Guarda Mare was acquired more than 25 years before. We have used the house alone for most of the years. Our kids spent here every summer. Now they are grown up and we have decided a short time ago to beautify the dear old house with modern technology and pool and make it available for rental as a holiday home. We wish you happy hours in the Guarda Mare.
