The bathhouse
Warm water, cold water, cedar steam.
Cut into the lower floor of the house and finished in burnished lime, the same waterproof plaster as the bathrooms upstairs. Every resident bathes free, from seven in the morning to nine at night.

What to bring, and what not to
We give you a robe, slippers, two towels and a bag for wet things. They wait in your room.
Bring a swimsuit. The bathhouse is mixed, calm and quiet; phones stay in the changing room.
Check with your doctor first if you are pregnant or have a heart condition. The cold plunge is a shock to anyone.
Walk all day, then bathe.
The path passes the gate. The bathhouse is warm by five. Rooms from £135 a night in winter.
