You can put your pyjamas back on straight away when you come back and let your gaze wander over the nearby three-thousand metre peaks in the evening.

A hotel for Italo lovers, terrazzo admirers, art nouveau balcony admirers, yoga practitioners, pasta and martini revellers and moon addicts.

Learning basic words and phrases doesn’t just show respect, it also helps you to understand the people and their region a little better.

Their design for the labels and packaging of the valuable wines has now been honoured with the Austrian State Prize for ‘Smart Packaging 2024’.
