Trees, castles and hammam: team buildig according to the Astro Conference Centre and Parmaland

Author: simona bonati

Just near the Astro Conference Centre it has been opened Parmaland, the new adventure park with five routes of tree climbing of different difficulty. Hanging and walking among the trees with steel cables, Tibetan and Tyrolean bridges and pulleys is one of the many activities the structure provides to the companies that want to improve and create a better spirit of aggregation among co-workers.



The participants put themselves to the test both individually and in groups from a physical and psychological point of view. Together one can encourage the other, obstacles can be overcome and challenges may be won. The group shares this adventure, strengthening pre-existing bonds and developing that cohesion which is so important in the work environment.

During the routes of tree climbing fun and safety go hand in hand thanx to the use of appropriate body harness and the presence of a professional staff. Besides the tree climbing, Parmaland offers the possibility to organize horse hikes, sports and outdoor activities, sense of direction tests.

Parmaland joins the other outdoor activities of the hotel meeting in Tabiano, which has facilities such as the Salt Castle, a thousand-year fortress where to set treasure huntings and mini survivals. Inside the resort that holds the conference centre, you can also find a panoramic swimming pool, a solarium and a wonderful park.

Regarding the indoor activities, the hotel meeting is also provided with a wellness centre: the Beauty Farm Alhambra, where to create team building programmes based on the wellness of the participants, starting with the hammam in the Moroccan tradition.

Besides the hospitality of the Grand Hotel Terme Astro and the 11 meeting rooms available in the centre, the Delle Calle restaurant chefs can offer a variety of choices among traditional menu of the local cuisine, buffet, gala dinners, with the same perfect banqueting service.

The Astro Conference Centre is waiting for you to offer the best solutions for meetings, seminars, workshops and team building sessions. For further information, please visit the website http://www.congressuale.grandhoteltermeastro.it

    I had one in turkey but no where seems to offer it in the uk. I would love to share the experience with my other half without booking a holiday to turkey!

    I would love that. I do think that if you are planning on opening one in the US you need to make it more appealing to the American taste. That goes for every country you need to cater to your specific market. I think the most important things to me would be sanitary practices and extra services (e.g: pedicures,facials…) Those are cool features. What I like in the Moroccan hammams is the fact that there is a masseuse that scrubs your entire body (I’m not sure if that is going to fly for American people-) I live in Vegas and in my hotel (Caesar’s Palace) we offer an amazing spa with roman baths, tea sommelier and vichy showers (talk about taking an old concept and putting a modern spin on it – I love it)
    So, yes is the answer to your question ;)

    Would you visit a traditional hammam (Moroccan or Turkish-style bathhouse) in your home country?
    I ask out of business curiosity – after visiting a new spa-style hammam today, I got to thinking.

    Now, for those of you unfamiliar, although the Turkish and Moroccan styles differ, a hammam is basically a public bath without standing water.

    You bring your own soap and implements, pay a nominal fee to go inside, sit and sweat in a sauna-like room, apply traditional soap, scrub or get scrubbed by a professional, then perform your regular shower routine at the end.

    There are very traditional hammams and modern spa-style ones which still use the same methods. They are typically single gender. Tourists frequent them here.

    SO…the question is…if someone opened one in your neighborhood, perhaps of the more modern variety (very clean, private areas for showering afterward), would you go? How much would you pay?

    If it offered a range of spa treatments, would that change your answer?

    Any of you ever been to a hammam(bath house) in Morocco?
    What is it like? Is it basically the same as a Turkish bath?

    Read this

    I think you already have this.
    “It is situated near to the Sitt Ruqiyyah mosque. According to a book from 2005 it is worn down and only known and used by the locals. However, if you google it up, you can find that it is recommended in GaydarNationBlog, so it is obviously also known by foreigners.
    It is open to men 8-12 a.m. and again 4 to-12. p.m., and to women from 12 – 4 p.m.”

    The Moroccan hammam is unique, I don’t think it was copied from the Turkish because the ottomans never set foot in morocco.
    Nothing can replace the hammam for most of the Moroccans, you can take all the daily showers you want but one hammam a week is a must, well at least for me ;) .
    The description of the hammam is very simple, the changing-room when you get in, then 3 to 4 big rooms that are connected with each other but varies in temperature from warm to hot as u go …Room 1 is warm Room 4 is hot.
