A Journey Through Italy; A Reflection at Bella Nuova Spa

Updated: Nov 4

Italian Reflection at Bella Nuova Spa: Beauty, Balanced Strength, and Timeless Tradition


Italian Reflection at Bella Nuova: Inspired by Italy, Rooted in Wellness


This year, we at Bella Nuova Spa had the incredible opportunity to travel through Italy. This journey was not just about sightseeing; it was a true reconnection with our roots, our heritage, and the inspiration behind our approach to beauty and wellness. From the timeless history of Rome to the sparkling waters of the Amalfi Coast, every city and island carried lessons that reminded us why caring for the skin and soul is such an essential part of life.

As we journeyed from bustling cities to serene coastal towns, each place revealed something unique about the Italian way of living. This way treasures beauty, balance, and the healing power of nature.

The history, colors, fragrances, and even the foods we encountered reminded us that skincare and wellness are more than routines; they are rituals tied to culture and tradition.

Come along with us as we share moments from Rome, Florence, Venice, Burano, Murano, Sorrento, Amalfi, Minori, and the enchanting island of Ischia. Discover how each destination has shaped the inspiration behind Bella Nuova Spa and our very own Solea Skincare line.


From Rome to Amalfi: What Our Travels Teach About Wellness And Beauty



Rome: Where Time Stands Still


Our journey began in Rome, the Eternal City. Walking among ruins that have stood for thousands of years, we were struck by the balance between strength and beauty. This balance still defines Italian living today. This experience became a personal reflection at Bella Nuova, inspiring how we approach skincare and wellness. The city is vibrant and alive, yet filled with small moments of stillness: a quiet piazza, a sip of espresso, or the scent of herbs wafting from an open kitchen window. Rome reminded us that skincare is much the same: resilience built on simple, timeless rituals that protect and preserve.

Florence: Artistry in Every Detail


Santa Maria Del Fiore - Florence, Italy

Florence captured our hearts with its artistry. From Michelangelo’s David to the intricate details of the Duomo, every masterpiece was created with patience, precision, and passion. We saw the same artistry mirrored in the local apothecaries, where skincare and wellness products are still blended with botanical extracts, oils, and natural remedies passed down through generations. That philosophy is the foundation of Solea Skincare. Every formula we create is carefully crafted to bring art and science together in harmony.

Venice & Burano: A Celebration of Color & Life


Venice, with its winding canals, whispered to us about the importance of flow — of water, of energy, and of time. The nearby island of Burano added another layer of joy with its brilliant, candy-colored homes lining the waterways. The bright hues reminded us of the vibrancy of healthy, nourished skin — glowing, lively, and full of expression. Just as Burano’s colors reflect the personality of its people, our skin reflects our health and care.

Sorrento, Minori & Amalfi - the Scent of Citrus and the Sea


The southern coast of Italy greeted us with the fragrance of lemon groves, wild herbs, and salty breezes. There’s a reason this part of the world is so healing. The Mediterranean lifestyle embraces balance: fresh food, time outdoors, and moments of rest. We brought this lesson back to Bella Nuova Spa. True skincare is more than what you put on your face; it’s about the lifestyle you embrace. Solea Skincare products are designed to be part of that lifestyle — simple, natural, and effective, like the Italian way of living.

Ischia: Healing Waters, Timeless Traditions


One of the highlights of our trip was Ischia, known worldwide for its natural hot springs and healing thermal waters. Locals have turned to these mineral-rich baths for centuries to soothe the skin, restore the body, and renew the spirit. This connection to the earth’s natural resources is at the very core of our spa philosophy. Our treatments and facials at Bella Nuova Spa reflect the spirit of Italy. Our Solea Skincare line is rooted in the same idea: harnessing the healing power of nature to bring balance, calm, and radiance.

Bringing Italy Home to Bella Nuova Spa


Traveling through Italy was more than an adventure. It was a reminder of why we do what we do. Italy taught us that beauty isn’t just about appearances; it’s a lifestyle of nourishment, balance, and joy. That’s why at Bella Nuova Spa, every facial, every treatment, and every drop of Solea Skincare reflects this heritage.

Our spa is not just Italian-inspired. It’s Italian at heart. We take the same pride in purity, quality, and tradition that Italy is known for, and we bring that to each client who walks through our doors. When you visit Bella Nuova Spa, we want you to feel what we felt walking through the lemon groves of Amalfi or soaking in the waters of Ischia: renewed, refreshed, and deeply cared for.


This journey reaffirmed something timeless: the best beauty rituals are simple, organic, and deeply connected to nature. That is the promise of Solea Skincare, and it’s the promise of Bella Nuova Spa.
