Vigilius Mountain Resort : Cosy Pool and Yoga

7 a.m. I leave my room to go to the pool

with large windows and wooden structures, opened on a beautiful landscape and a large wooden deck. The feeling of swimming among trees changes everything! No use of chlorine either, replaced by a natural process less odorous. 

You don’t exercise, you slip on the water among the top of trees.

Two basins: the left one is big enough for a real swimming session (pictue above). While the right one is a whirlpool (picture below). The water temperature is hotter, because half of the basin is outside.

Then I decide to do a yoga class. I’m not a big fan of yoga and all the “show” that goes with it! But I’m supposed to pampering my back… body and soul!

And great surprise, the course is a blend of Hatha Yoga, Chi Gong (breathing)… the kind of I can link postures like a slow motion danse (a bit weird, I know!), in a big room with light wood, large windows open on the trees and thanks : no guru image (no comment!). It’s magic, it changes everything, even yoga, could you imagine? LOL!

Vigilius Mountain Resort: A Room At The Top Of Mountain

The Room Is Spacious

No TV and very few fournitures as I like, almost monastic. After a very long day, between the airports, the road from Munich to Lana via Merano, the stunning scenery of the Adige valley and Dolomiti … and a private cable car to access the Vigilius Mountain Resort, a stylish ecolodge at 1500 meters altitude, surrounded by nature: finally I can sit and relaxe. 

Far from the world and crowds, I disconnect. No laptop (what a challenge!), nothing! From the huge window, the view is just breathtaking. High mountains covered with virgin forests. In the dark dawning, the air is fresh, pure and invigorating. I can spend hours here contemplative, but I have a dinner at 1500 Restaurant (beautifull view at breakfast).

The morning, around 6 a.m., my room is bathed in a soft red light, first rays of sunlight piercing clouds, the view is spectacular (pictures 5 and 1)! Difficult to get out of bed (spotless bedding), to join the spa and enjoy the pool at the opening.

Les Etangs De Corot, A Suite Designed By Paul & Joe

The lovely Paul & Joe‘s junior suite Les Etangs de Corots, the bucolic hotel of the Caudalie Spa near Paris. For a great relaxing week-end in a beautiful sourroundings with the ponds of Corot (Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot was a famous impressionist painter). The Paul & joe suite isespecially dedicated to the fashion addicts, hit by Peter Pan’s syndrome (teenager for ever)! The suite designed by Sophie Abou, the founder and fashion designer of Paul & Joe, is fasely naive and really feminine : mixing a bit of vintage, bright colours (good for mood), nippon details and African graphic stool. There is also a small balcony with a view to the ponds. What a pity the frames on the wall aren’t real pictures! But the whole decoration brings a touch of lightness (I mean, with an easy going feeling), the perfect match to continue the benefits of the Caudalie spa.
