The bathhouse at the Volga-Volga guesthouse is more than just a steam room; it's a true immersion into the atmosphere of Russian traditions, combined with comfort and modern technology. Located in a standalone two-story building, the bathhouse is a unique complex where every detail is designed for guests to enjoy all the benefits of this ancient ritual.

First Floor – Steam Room and Shower

The first floor houses the steam room – the place where the true magic of the bath begins. The steam room uses exclusively "proper" birch firewood, providing soft and rich steam. A complete reconstruction of the steam room was carried out in 2020, allowing it to meet all modern standards of quality and comfort. The steam room is designed for simultaneous use by up to three people, and this 6 sq. m. space embodies coziness and warmth.

The centerpiece of the steam room is a stove made of genuine Russian cast iron with a solid cast firebox, with wall thicknesses of an impressive 12 mm. Thanks to this construction, the stove can effectively maintain the optimal temperature in the steam room. A closed heater filled with jadeite, one of the best stones for bath procedures, is used to create the ideal microclimate. Jadeite, with its unique thermal properties, creates "light" and comfortable steam that promotes deep cleansing and relaxation of the body.

Special attention was paid to the finishing of the steam room: the walls and ceiling are paneled with high-quality linden wood, and the benches are made of the same wonderful wood. One of the walls features a panel made of Himalayan salt, which not only decorates the interior but also enriches the air with beneficial mineral elements, creating a unique microclimate.

After warming up in the steam room, guests can refresh themselves with icy water from a dousing bucket or take a shower. The water for these procedures comes from the hotel's own well and is "soft" due to its low content of calcium and magnesium salts. This provides additional benefits for the skin, preserving its natural protective film.

Second Floor – Relaxation Room

The second floor of the bathhouse is dedicated to a relaxation room – a place where you can enjoy complete relaxation after the steam room. Here, guests are welcomed into a spacious 25 sq. m. area with access to a balcony offering picturesque views of the Volga.

The relaxation room is equipped with everything necessary for a comfortable stay: soft furniture, subdued lighting creating a cozy atmosphere, and, of course, a genuine Russian samovar. The samovar is heated with birch chips, filling the air with a soft aroma of wood smoke and herbal tea. Nothing compares to the feeling of sitting after a bath with a cup of hot tea, enjoying conversation and the view of the calm river.

For our guests, the bathhouse becomes not just a place for cleansing the body, but a ritual that helps to find inner harmony. Staying in the steam room promotes deep cleansing of the body, strengthens the immune system, and improves the functioning of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. After the steam procedures, you feel a real surge of energy, and the soulful atmosphere and friendly conversation over a cup of aromatic tea enhance the effect of relaxation and recovery.
