A Light-Hearted Summer at Chateau Mcely

Deep relaxation surrounded by nature, our “Beach Goddess” summer ritual, summer skincare with MCELY BOUQUET, and children’s adventures at the chateau.

This former aristocratic country manor in the middle of the forest and blooming English gardens is perfectly designed for deep relaxation, lying in the grass, sunning on a lounge chair or on the Mcely beach with white Elbe sand, for taking a dip in the naturally heated pond or the outdoor Jacuzzi under the stars, for tennis tournaments in the shade of old trees, for spending quiet time in the wilder areas of the park with colorful summer meadows, for picnics, romantic breakfasts in the grass, or dinners under the open sky, or simply to indulge in a bit of royal extravagance, like the Thurn-Taxis’ did during Chateau Mcely’s heyday.

“BEACH GODDESS” SPA RITUAL AT THE MCELY SPA
A beneficial massage or therapy is an essential part of summer, giving women a sense of divine beauty. Therefore we’ve designed a special ninety-minute ritual – the “Beach Goddess Spa Ritual” for CZK 3,090, featuring MCELY BOUQUET’s pure, natural skincare products. Body peeling on problem areas helps stimulate blood and lymph circulation and helps eliminate toxins. The clay body wrap with juniper and rosemary fights against cellulite and removes deeper toxins. The subsequent facial and full body massage hydrate the skin, helping it to recover from the effects of the summer sun and slowing down the aging process. The combination of powerful herbal effects transforms dry skin to silky velvet. You can take advantage of this summer spa ritual at Mcely Spa from early July until the end of September 2014.


SUMMER SKINCARE WITH MCELY BOUQUET
The founder of MCELY BOUQUET, Inéz Cusumano, shared with us her summer skincare tips to give you a goddess’ glowing beauty. “During the summer months, I can’t live without my Royal Herbal Spritz. Some of Mother Nature’s rarest products go into this royal hydrating spray. Rosewater is a true elixir of youth and beauty. It maintains your skin’s pH balance and stimulates its regeneration. Witch hazel extract, an ancient Indian herb, has an antioxidant effect, reduce puffiness, decreases perspiration and locks moisture in your skin. I recommend spritzing it on clean skin morning and evening, or during the day over your make-up. It helps not only your skin but also raises your spirits, especially in air-conditioned offices, airplanes, or hot summer days. The spritz was inspired by the legendary 14th century Queen of Hungary Water, which not only had a gorgeous scent, but a rejuvenating effect as well.

For a lighter step and beautifully cared-for feet in your summer shoes, I’d recommend our Mint Foot Relief Balm, which is rich in mint, black pepper and camphor essential oils, which help relieve tired feet, strengthen blood circulation and reduce swelling. Shea butter and cocoa butter together with jojoba oil thoroughly regenerate and soften the skin on your feet. After a long day in heels or partaking in sport, massage your tired feet and calves using a small amount of balm. For more intensive care, you can first treat your feet with Sage Body Peeling, rinse, and apply a thick layer of mint balm. Slip on a pair of cotton socks and let the balm work for a few hours.

For longer trips, don’t forget our Travel Set of 6 mini MCELY BOUQUET skincare products (Rosemary Butter Cleanser, Royal Herbal Spritz, Wild Thyme Hand Balm, Chamomile Baby Oil, Daisy Body Oil, and Yarrow Bath Oil) in an elegant black velvet pouch. Now you don’t have to give up perfect skin and body care just because there’s not enough space in your luggage.”
