Wine, wellness, SPA, farmer’s baths and the origins of tourism in South Tyrol

The November Wine Letter is dedicated to relaxing wellness & wellbeing, SPA resorts, farmer’s baths in South Tyrol!

• In the extravagant spa area of the Wellness-Hotel Muchele, a cornerstone of the Vinum Hotels South Tyrol, guests are pampered as if in One Thousand and One Nights. Those who wish to occasionally venture beyond the tranquil spa area in order to mingle at the house bar come across an extremely well-curated wine and distillate list. Guests with high expectations will find everything they need in a comfortable and welcoming hotel of international stature, from relaxingly snug rooms to elegantly furnished luxury suites with period furniture. Sports activities within the hotel are virtually boundless, panoramic indoor swimming pool, sauna area, steam baths and the entire massage ABC of a purely South Tyrolean variety.
• The Stroblhof Wine Estate in Eppan exudes pleasure and joie de vie - luxuriously furnished guest rooms and suites entice you to linger while charm and elegance permeate through the entire establishment. This unique spa and beauty facility with its indoor pool, large bathing and sauna area, fitness centre and an exclusive beauty farm is a world of relaxation and recreation, an oasis of health and beauty. Everything you need for body, mind and soul can be found here. And what about our stomachs: there’s no better place to eat in the valley.
• At Romantik Hotel Turm in Völs, guests are accommodated within walls dating back to the 13th century in historic vaulted rooms and luxurious suites with modern designs. This is how one imagines the unobtrusive retreats to which Hollywood stars escape to on weekends: on the outside rugged nature, on the inside alpine romance warmed by wood-fires and rooms redolent with the scent of Swiss pine. When deer and chamois stroll across the front lawn at dusk, you feel like you're at home in a Brothers Grimm fairy tale, whilst enjoying a dreamlike view of Sciliar and the Dolomites.
• Romantik Hotel Oberwirt in Marling, a former country inn from the 15th century, has long been considered a luxurious residence for bon vivants, a recreational jewel in an archaically beautiful landscape. Every guest that lodges here will be pampered with stylish comfort. Of course, all rooms and suites are equipped with the latest technical comforts and there are also large fitness rooms with saunas, steam baths and Roman baths available, as well as an indoor and outdoor pool in the Amadea Spa. A globe-spanning wine list invites you to revel in tempting indulgence and pleasure at the hotel's very own gourmet restaurant. Vineyard tours and tastings at the hotel's winery, Eichenstein with its underground cellar and the Oberwirt Vinarium greatly enrich any vacation.
