Hideaways [EN]
Wake up to sunrise over the vineyards. Spend the afternoon wandering through the elegant arcades of Merano with a cappuccino in hand. End the day soaking in the warm infinity pool as the mountains glow in the evening light. At VINEA, Mediterranean charm meets Alpine tranquillity, creating an adults-only escape designed for slowing down and savouring every moment.
When a historic farmhouse in a truly beautiful setting comes up for sale – and even carries your name – it almost feels like fate. That’s exactly what Brigitte Schmied thought when she first discovered Der Schmiedhof in Geitau, near Bayrischzell. In just 24 months, she transformed it into a private residence with eleven exclusive boutique apartments – a place that feels both deeply personal and quietly refined.
The Vinschgau is a valley of contrasts – vast, clear, and shaped by a quiet, enduring strength. Set in the village of Mals at 1,050 metres, the Garberhof blends seamlessly into its surroundings, inspired by traditional alpine structures and defined by a refined sense of design. A place where stillness, space and understated luxury unfold naturally.
The name has changed – the feeling remains. What was once known as the Apfelhotel is now the Farmhouse Torgglerhof, a natural evolution of what this place has always been: not just a hotel, but a way of living – with family, among apple orchards and thoughtful design. Set within its surrounding orchards, the former Apfelhotel blends alpine farmhouse life with an effortless sense of style. A place for wellness, good food and nature – one that stays true to itself while continuing to grow.
Where modern architecture meets the dramatic beauty of the Dolomites – and behind it all, a family of passionate organic mountain farmers. Karerhof is about more than just a beautiful setting. It’s about genuine encounters, simple pleasures and a deep connection to nature. The kind of place that stays with you – not just in memories, but in a lasting sense of calm.
Childhood memories run deep at Benedikta. Elisabeth Brändle spent much of her early years in her grandmother’s house – a place shaped by time, stories and quiet familiarity. With a clear vision and a deep sense of respect for its past, she has thoughtfully reimagined it into a contemporary retreat, where heritage and modern living come together with ease.
This is what understated luxury feels like. Tucked between vineyards, orchards and the striking silhouette of the Schlern, Presulis Hideaway sits quietly immersed in nature. A refined retreat defined by calm, considered design and a deep sense of ease – where slow days and moments of indulgence come naturally.
At Agrad Chalet Resort, pampering gets a whole new meaning: discreet, personalized, and on your own terms. Breakfast appears as if by magic, your private spa awaits in the evening—and in between? Anything goes, nothing's a must. Whether you're curled up by the fire or off chasing adventure in the Chiemgau Alps, one thing matters: living the good life. Or, as the locals say: "agrad wias oam gfallt" – exactly the way you like it.
A feeling of comfort and quiet indulgence that stays with you long after you’ve left. At Werdenfelserei in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, even the memory of your stay is enough to bring back that soft, lingering warmth. A true summit of wellbeing – set right at the foot of Germany’s highest peak.
It comes as no surprise that Amrai's retreat and place of power is located in the idyllic village of Schruns. Here, she has found the perfect symbiosis of old Montafon culture and contemporary architecture in the Amrai Suites. For guests, this means immersing themselves in a world that relaxes body and soul and will remain in their memories for a long time to come.
