bed
It is used in a broad sense as in "tanning bed".
Bed on which you get covered with mud as a spa treatment. (thermal mud bed).
"Bed (meal included) similar to "bed and breakfast"
Think of of the Terme in Italy, and you will get the idea.
Happy working Magda.

: Yes, nothing to do with babies. This must be the meaning in this context., IMHO.:) At least in one of the sentences, but actually it could refer to babies in the other. The full text would help. :)

: definitely 2 different uses of the word culla. Infants (under 2) normally stay free, but there may be a one-off charge for a cot; hence the 'pasti inclusi' because no-one charges for infant meals. For the Spa, agree in keeping term general

Comment: "I will choose this answer considering that "bed" fits well in both contexts.
For the translation I am thinking of "bed/cot" giving both options."

: agree - the baby cot is available for sleeping (obviously) and all food is included (so I think a high chair would be provided). The hotel is a SPA that is why fango

cot and thermal mud wrap
I think this is a case of a single word meaning two different things in two different sentences/contexts.
In the first case I think that culla does refer to an extra cot (probably not a bed, or it would say lettino)
However in the second case it does seem to refer to a thermal beauty treatment using mud.
If you google "culla termale" you will see various uses in this context. Some of them show "beds" but some don't and seem to imply a series of treatments.
I would leave it pretty general unless you know exactly what this place offers. Something like "thermal mud wrap" or "mud therapy" might work
compare the "chair" on these two:

http://www.careem.co.nz/thermal-mud-wrap.html
other places also use the term to advertise similar services:
