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.

To Rome With Love, the last movie of Woody Allen @ Brussels Film Festival

Tonight, it’s the Brussels Film Festival opening, but since this morning the press has watched a preview of films to be shown in the following days. At 12.30 p.m. I discovered the last Woody Allen. The Manatthan director continues piano piano his European tour with Roma, the eternal city: To Rome With Love. A bunch of famous actors, Alec Baldwin, Ellen Page, Penelope Cruz, Roberto Benigni. No real surprise, a quite predictable nice movie, sometimes overplayed. Far from the brilliant Match Point and the vulcanic Vicky Cristina Barcelona. But I really enjoyed the opera singer in the shower (which comes as a gimmick, I promise I will not say more …), plus few lines of dialogue played by Woody Allen. Well let’s say if you just want to relaxe and make a Roman pause or ballad (full of clichés), without expecting to a great Woody Allen: you will enjoy this movie.
