It’s a huge luxury to do something for yourself. But it’s an even bigger luxury to recognise that. It can be difficult to do in our hectic daily lives, but there are places that make it easier. It might be strange at first that there are no distractions at the Eremito of the type that we usually like to hold onto. But soon the solitude brings healing.

In the heart of Umbria, surrounded by the untouched nature of central Italy, stands the Eremito Hotel – a place that redefines peace and relaxation in a truly unique way. Marcello Murzilli, the creative mind behind this extraordinary hotel project, speaks with Lifestylehotels about his motivations, his philosophy, and why Eremito is a one-of-a-kind retreat for the modern traveler.

Even as a child, she was welcomed by the guests at her parents’ establishment with a glass of schnapps in their hands. As a born and bred “Puschtrerin” [someone from Pustertal] and with experience in hospitality, Gudrun Huber now runs the Hofergut in her South Tyrolean homeland. With a great deal of passion and enthusiasm, she looks after both her guests and the almost 1,000-year-old property. She’s like the Fairy Godmother of the building. We asked her about where the walls express their historic charm, which collector’s items are hidden here and what she takes out of the smokehouse at night, plus much more.

If she had a hotel, you would be allowed to walk barefoot here – over warm wooden floors and green grass. There would be no bling bling, but beautiful design and interesting art. You would also be able to play boccia! Because everyone loves boccia, right? People would eat pasta and enjoy the sophisticated slow-food cuisine. And drink vino! Lots of vino! You could do whatever you want in this hotel. How good that she really does have a hotel. She is Karoline Dilitz and she has just breathed new life into her Küglerhof in South Tyrol. Curious? We asked the hostess for an interview.

Zash, Bsss, Mhh, Ahh… at the boutique hotel between the sea and Mount Etna, you can hear many sounds. We spoke to owner Carla Maugeri to discover where they are coming from and what other sounds can be heard at the Sicilian country house.

OLM Nature Escape will opened its doors in December 2023. The eco aparthotel isn’t just an architectural eye-catcher, the kitchen also offers a truly special culinary concept. We invited Berni Aichner (Head of Cuisine) and Theodor Falser (Michelin-star chef) to join us at the table so we could find out more about the ideas behind PRENN°.

Alpine Lifestyle is a term that expresses in particular the energy of the habitat in which we move. For me it means preserving the themes of one's identity, architecturally this is illustrated by the partly crazy wooden facade. Here we recycled old wood. Built in special patterns, oriented ourselves to the mountain farmers in the Alpine region and staged their craft.

A holiday at the Bergwiesenglück boutique hotel and chalet doesn’t just have a lasting impact on the heart and soul – nature also has reason to be grateful for the efforts of the two hotel owners Anna and Rudolf Schuchter when it comes to protecting the environment.

There’s a flock of sheep grazing above Bergland Sölden. For hotel owner and shepherd Sigi Grüner, it’s not just a passion and a source of balance, it’s also part of his identity. He spoke to us about balancing everyday life, regionality and an ambitious project.
