In today’s fast-paced, highly connected world, it’s not uncommon to suffer from sensory overload. This weekend, turn off the smartphone, hit the highway and escape the hustle and bustle of metropolitan life at these relaxing rustic retreats.
Ste. Anne’s Spa
There’s beauty in simplicity, a fact Ste. Anne’s Spa proved when it was voted the best relaxation hotel/spa in Canada by TripAdvisor’s Travellers’ Choice 2012 awards. And when you visit its over 500 acres of rural paradise, you’ll see why.
