Boar's Head Spa
by Maralyn Hill & Brenda Hill

Time for a deep steep at the Boar's Head Spa, Charlottesville, Virginia.

A tantalizing peak at the Boar's Head Spa made us long to return for rejuvenation at this tranquil spot in the countryside of Charlottesville, Virginia. As soon as we walked in the door, our hectic week of travel melted away.

The spa's signature treatment 'Montecello Dreams' begins with a long, deep, bubbling soak. The water contains essences such as lily of the valley, ylang ylang and lavender.  These are all natural tea infusions that produce a deep steep.

We cannot wait to return and choose from over 30 treatments, especially our own personal steep according to our mood and fragrance preference: 

• Lavender and chamomile balance the mind and body

• Honeydew and spearmint brighten your spirit

• Grapefruit and bergamot refresh your mood

• Rosemary and mint clear the mind

The ultimate retreat is to book a night or more at this Four Diamond Resort, one of the Historic Hotels of America. Then enjoy a gourmet dinner and the best brunch our team has enjoyed in years. We feasted on fresh organic orange juice and seasonal fruits with organic yogurt, salt cured Virginia ham, smoked salmon and organic eggs from a local farm made to order. In fact, we were luck enough to get Executive Chef Sheehan's exceptional Smoked Salmon Parfait recipe!

Nestled on 573 acres of hills, trees, ponds and meadows, the Boar's Head Hotel and Spa is truly a place to restore body and soul.
