A place of peace at home, where stone, fire, water, and air come together to create wellbeing for me, my family, and my closest friends. Together with them, I built what you see here.

I am Enrico Ganassin, a sauna master since 2011. Three-time Italian Champion, World Vice Champion, and 2015 European Aufguss Champion.

“Aufguss” is a German word meaning “to pour over.” It refers to the act of pouring water — sometimes in the form of crushed ice — enriched with essential oils onto hot stones.

My role is to guide the steam released from the glowing stones, enriched by the power of essential oils, toward those sharing the sauna with me, using a towel to direct the heat and create the experience.
