In-house massage

The therapist arrives forty minutes before riding: stretcher, proper sheets, warm oil and a small sound box, which is turned off if you prefer the noise of the sea. He chooses where there is shade and flat floor — the balcony, the pool pavilion, the room when it is windy out there.

The session is sixty minutes, or ninety for those who have come down from a long flight, with more time on their backs and legs. Two therapists meet two people side by side where the house has room. Let me know if you are pregnant, operated recently or have high blood pressure: changes the technique and sometimes changes the professional.

They are registered masseurs, who have been attending homes for at least two seasons; we do not work with an open agency. If anyone gets sick, or doesn't like the first ten minutes, the session goes there and nothing is charged. Rescheduling on the same day depends on the therapist's schedule, which usually attends three houses in the afternoon.

• Maca, sheets and oils carried by the therapist
• Assembly on the balcony, in the bedroom or by the pool
• Relaxing massage, sports or lymphatic drainage
• 90-minute session on notice the night before
• Hot tea served at the end of session
