Seehof Nature Retreat Cocooning place
The Seehof Nature Retreat in the Eisack Valley in South Tyrol is located on the apple plateau of Natz, at about 900 meters, not far from the town of Bressanone and the Augustinian canon monastery of Neustift. Here nature draws an idyllic cocooning place - Seehof is best viewed as an homage to the senses, an experience that has been lovingly staged with a great deal of thought, yet with a light touch. This home away from home is an enchanted world just waiting to be brought to life with laughter and lively conversation… or with the delicious pleasure of doing nothing.
Whichever of the 40 rooms and suites you choose, one thing is the same in all of them: the unmistakable coziness that always leaves enough space for individual vacation moments.

In fact, the heart and soul of the Seehof experience is the time you’ll spend just lounging in the spacious garden or by the private natural lake, hiding away in your own little niche, or cozily cocooning yourself inside one of the elegant rooms or suites. In the 1.200 sqm La PrimaVera Spa, the hands of Mother Nature deliver relaxation in the form of panoramic views and direct access to the lake. All you have to do is let your mind wander, whether luxuriating in the exquisitely designed relaxation rooms, floating in the infinity pool or de-stressing in the panoramic saunas. Well-being is ensured by the Finnish panoramic sauna with direct access to the private natural lake, the Roman steam bath, the bio sauna, the exquisitely designed relaxation rooms and by the heated infinity pool that leads from the inside to the outside. All you have to do is let your mind wander. Beauty reatments and revitalizing massages are as much in the focus of the Seehof Nature Retreat as the conscious natural cuisine, which meets the Italian lightness with fresh, seasonal, alpine and Mediterranean quality products.
A space where deceleration, originality, nature and comfort are in harmony with each other.
Paragon 700
Boutique Hotel & Spa Red palazzo in the White City of Ostuni
History paired with elegance and an eclectic antique design meets contemporary touches and global elements from Africa and India. The one of a kind hotel Paragon 700 convinces with jaw dropping interior design and exceptional service. The original Palazzo Rosso from 18th century, once the residence of the city’s mayor, are now the hallow halls of Paragon 700. Architect and Interior Designer, Pascale Lauber, tried to maintain the original details, such as the red stones, the high ceilings and frescoes. In combination with the unique selected décor and special attention to details in every corner, the Palazzo turned into a luxurious hotel.
This quintessentially Puglian property has been restored to boast 11 individually curated rooms including 7 suites with a cosmopolitan soul. Standing in stark contrast to the whitewashed buildings of Ostuni, Paragon 700’s red brick façade cocoons a lush garden, a swimming pool and a rare green space in the heart of the city, offering a tranquil and exclusive oasis.
