Spa Profile: Spa Allegretto at Allegretto Vineyard Resort Paso Robles
In musical terminology, “allegretto'“ is used to describe an upbeat tempo of 112 to 120 beats per minute, and at Allegretto Vineyard Resort Paso Robles, it is an expression of a life lived joyfully, playfully, in harmony, and with intention. The stunning 20-acre property draws its inspiration from the beauty of the surrounding wine country in Paso Robles, California and features Tuscan architecture, Mediterranean-style gardens, and olive and fruit orchards that instantly transports guests to Italy.
Amenities at the pet-friendly resort include 171 beautifully-appointed European-inspired rooms and suites; a tasting room that serves award-winning wines; Cello Ristorante & Bar, an upscale yet casual Mediterranean-inspired restaurant; and a spacious swimming pool located at the back edge of the property surrounded by vineyards and cabanas with chaise lounges.
Guests also enjoy harvest vineyard tours on Friday and Saturday mornings, a chef’s garden, free-standing garden swings, and a variety of beautiful artwork and sculptures that are on display throughout the property. There is a sonic labyrinth, which is activated by motion sensors to create a distinctive series of soft, soothing sounds by wind instruments that evolve as one walks through to cultivate a sense of relaxation and focus.
Spa Allegretto is another highlight, offering a peaceful sanctuary where guests can get away and relax by indulging in treatments and experiences that align the senses while unifying the mind and body. Their journey begins with tranquil music and blissful scents accompanied by expert therapists and estheticians that customize every treatment according to each guest’s specific needs.
We interviewed Spa Director Pennie Watson, who provided insider tips, special spa bonuses, treatments to try, and more:
Why You’ll Love It: Guests are instantly drawn into a world reminiscent of Tuscany from the moment they arrive at the resort. We strive to make their spa experience evoke the same feeling. From the decor to the relaxation areas and treatments, we mirror the peace and beauty of the resort.
Key Features: Changing rooms with lockers, infrared sauna, and indoor and outdoor relaxation areas.
Spa Snacks: We offer freshly baked bars and pastries, tea, coffee, and water.
Bonus: Guests will receive a warm hand towel and a welcome tea upon arrival. We also offer complimentary champagne for special occasions such as birthdays and anniversaries.
Insider’s Tip: I always suggest that before you arrive for your treatment, take a short stroll around the grounds, allow your mind and body to relax, and enjoy the beauty. What a wonderful way to prepare for a spa experience!
Unique Treatment: Our Lavender Dreams Cocoon and Massage treatment is extremely unique and special because Allegretto grows lavender on the grounds! It also includes a scrub, a wrap, and a full-body massage. Who could resist?
Insider’s Favorite: I do! It is absolutely the Lavender Dreams Cocoon and Massage!
Splurge Treatment: Personally, I enjoy our two-hour Allegretto Signature Massage. The extended time allows for a wonderful escape, and is the best way to soothe and relax tired muscles.
Featured Products: We recently introduced one of my favorite lines to the spa, Kerstin Florian products, which we include in services and retail.
