For mountain and wellness lovers
In Italy the new entries begin in the heart of Selva di Val Gardena in the Alto Adige region with the Granbaita Dolomites Hotel, home of the Perathoner family who for over 50 years have welcomed mountain lovers from all over the world. Recently it underwent a modern renovation, and the excellent restaurant and wellness area are a tribute to the flavours and nature of the Dolomites. In Bardonecchia, which is an hour by train or car from Turin, right on the ski slopes at 2,000 meters, the Savoia Mountain Resort is an oasis of peace and has just been renovated in perfect mountain style. Manager Francesca Barba says guests can choose between the elegant suites and the characteristic chalets and that they love to indulge in pampering both at the wellness center which is in woods and at the restaurant.
From Lake Garda to the Friuli’s historic capital of Udine
In the historic center of Sirmione, which is on Lake Garda, the La Speranzina Restaurant & Relais is an intimate and elegant residence belonging to the Giordani family, that boasts romantic panoramic views and a starred restaurant helmed by chef Fabrizio Molteni. Half an hour from the city of Udine the Nodo Hotel is a brand new address in a setting of centuries-old trees and with many works of art. Guests are welcomed to the modern and comfortable property, which has been beautifully designed by owner Riccardo Facchini to minimize environmental impact. The best way to chill out is to relax in the restaurant or reserve a treatment in the wellness area.
A castle hotel set in a medieval village
In Umbria, in the heart of the Valnerina valley near the little town of Sellano, which is 50 kilometres from the regional capital Perugia, you'll find the Castello di Postignano. Here general manager Nino Di Bonito introduces travellers to the authentic hospitality of a hotel set in a medieval village, and invites to delight in the fine dining cuisine of chef Vincenzo Guarino.
