With the introduction of the feast of St. Valentine, Christians stopped the obscenity of the Lupercalia, bizarre heathen rite that on February 15 saw the ancient Romans whip women to make them fertile.
Today for Valentine’s Day women ask their men to be massaged.
In fact wellness treatments, inclusive of sweet massage, sauna, hydromassage, facial scrub, body peeling and other anti-stress therapies, are the most popular gift among couples for Valentine’s Day.
And the new frontier of wellness on the occasion of the feast of love is the massage for two, to declare perhaps, now forgotten the outrage of Lupercalia, that we are ready for the peace between the sexes…
The 2009 calendar is particularly in aid of love, falling February 14 on a Saturday.
A weekend a love and  of cuddles is in sight!
In the seashore, in the beautiful and elegant frame of the Green Pearl of the Adriatic, a lot of wellness proposals by Riccione Turismo are waiting for you for Valentine’s Day, clearly in couple version.
The stay in the most comfortable suites in our 3 and 4 stars hotel will be special thanks to wellness professionals who will be at your disposal with a long list of beauty treatments, massages, and therapies of alternative medicine.
After a relaxing and energizing afternoon, the feast will continue in the most seductive and exciting way, thanks to a voluptuous appetizer with champagne and strawberries, and thanks to a tasty and aphrodisiac dinner.
Obviously romantic and by candlelight!
Your passion Sunday will also be romantic, thanks to a trip towards the inland of Romagna or to Gradara, where the thousands of initiatives by “San Valentino al Castello di Paolo and Francesca” will take you on the trail of the courtly love.
In any case far from the Lupercalia…
We are waiting for you in Riccione, strictly without whip, with our wellness proposals for Valentine’s Day.
Long live the couples!
