About 45 minutes drive north of the city (through Mallow, Limerick road) there is place called Grove House. It is in a lovely peaceful country setting. All the usual aromatherapy and hot stone massages, plus pool, jacuzzi, sauna, steam room. The food is wonderful too. They do an overnight deal as well. I bring the missus there about once a year and the brownie points earned make it worth the effort. Details: GROVE HOUSE LONGEVITY CENTRE & SPA, Shanballymore, Mallow, Co. Cork. Tel: (022) 25518.
