The Bemelmans Post, 15 km from Bozen, welcomes hosts to the enchanting Rittner natural terrace and offers you a stay full of old-world charm. From the centre of Collalbo, the view is lost amidst fairy-tale mountain landscapes, while the best hiking destinations, such as the Rittner Horn, are close at hand. Every corner of the building tells something of its rich past: the Art Nouveau dining room, the 18th-century wine cellar, the Biedermeier room, and the Freud veranda (where the psychoanalysis father celebrated his silver wedding) still have the atmosphere of a refined haunt of yesteryear, a stately gathering of aristocrats and intellectuals. Great attention is paid to the theme of all-round sustainability, from the energy supply to the items on the menu.

Will this stylish adults-only boutique hotel in San Candido be the destination of your next romantic getaway? The Post Hotel, so trendy and maliciously secluded, has everything to make you fall deeply in love. Whether you are searching for ideas for a holiday in two, or you want an escape from the daily hustle and bustle (and perhaps even from children's hubbub: guests must be 14 years or older). How you spend the day is up to you: you can reach one of the nearby ski resorts (even on foot!), go hiking, play sports or stroll around the shops and bars in San Candido. Once back at the hotel, try the wellness centre, have a stylish aperitivo in the beautiful P-Lounge and set off for a gastronomic journey through South Tyrolean cuisine at the restaurant table.

A luxury chalet in Santa Cristina Val Gardena, in a breathtaking location kissed by the sun and the snow-white views of Val Gardena, as splendid in winter as in summer. Lefiro offers two accommodation options, Filip and Robin, both equipped with a wellness area, sauna, swimming pool, private garden and panoramic terrace overlooking the Dolomites. We love its warm, contemporary style, which blends perfectly with the Alpine profile, and the excellent location to enjoy an incredible view of the Sassolungo peaks. With ski lifts just a short distance away, the hotel is a perfect starting point for the Sellaronda, the 26-km-long carousel of slopes around the Sella massif through Val Gardena, Val Badia, Val di Fassa and Arabba.

Nestled in a picturesque mountain village at the edge of a forest, Hotel Waldrast Dolomiti in Siusi allo Scillar help you enter this all-around holiday dimension at the foot of the largest high plateau in Europe, Alpe di Siusi. The recipe is simple and relies on the classics of high altitude travelling: plenty of sports activities all year round, majestic landscapes, the sweetly lazy life of a little town that flows between small shops, cafés and the typical flavours of the local cuisine. Although delightfully secluded, the hotel is very close to the centre of Siusi and the cable car station. Still, those who prefer to bask in a dolce far niente mood will not be disappointed: the wellness area is a real gem, and the in-house restaurant serves an excellent menu.
