Castel Fragsburg: Fantastic Gourmet Restaurant

The road narrows into tight laces,

lined with vineyards, for your viewing pleasure! The restaurant’s charming Castel Fragsburg nestled atop a mountain, offers a panoramic on a bucolic landscape and the stonished Dolomites.

Simple, elegant and timeless, the atmosphere reminds me of the famous Dejeuner sur l’herbe of Renoir. I feel good, so I could spend hours on the terrace. With a good book under the shade of trees, lulled by a gentle breeze …

What choosing? A sparkling water followed by divine staters. Originality of tastes and textures and beautiful presentation. An unique mustard ice cream (picture 2). My plates look like paintings.

The presention is neat and airy,

with small proportions. I like the balance between solids and voids in a plate. The smiling staff is really professional, present without being intrusive. The main course is a succulent fish on a bed of black rice. Light and tasty.

More salty than sweet, I didn’t taste the desserts, but I like the concept of dark chocolate sticks with salty popcorn (picture 3). Very regressive!

I finish the meal with a great passion fruit tea (picture 4)! My gaze rests on a couch by the pool: now the farniente (or the “doing absolutely nothing” art) is calling me! Enjoy the break!

Schloss Hotel Korb: A Suite Decorated With Old

My spacious suite

is located in the central building of the Hotel Schloss Korb, originally an ancient castle (I’m not a huge fan of sleeping in castles). Upon entering, I immediately noticed a beautiful bouquet of purple orchids almost black, in the parlor bathed in sunlight and overlooking the rose garden (picture 4).

An old telephone, some beautiful books about South Tirol, crystal chandelier and old wood (pictures 2 and 4): like the feeling to break into scene of an Agatha Christie’s novel. Then I head to another room bathed in light: the bedroom, with two large windows opened onto a bucolic landscape of postcard…

The ubiquity of Dolomiti! I’m Charmed by the lovely bright atmosphere, the hangings, the bed (very comfortable, with German single duvets, I mean a single duvet for each one in a bridal bed! It has always struck me! Lol!). In contrast, the impeccable bathroom offerts space and comfort of today and I prefer.

My First Golf Lesson @ The Golf & Spa Resort Andreus

I’m on the road to S. Leonardo in Passiria,

where I will have my first golf lesson (of my life!), with Daniel Fink, the handsome young local champion. Me and golf, it’s a bit like me and yoga (!): NO connection, but am curious!

The Golf and Spa Resort Andreus (picture 1) includes the 18-hole course “Passeier Meran“: 60 hectares with seven lakes in a beautiful natural setting. One of the most beautiful golf courses in the Süd Tirol.

Now it’s raining and we’re heading to the indoor practice (photo below: Mirror my beautiful mirror, tell me that I have the right gesture!). The parctice is the “training area with practice balls.”

After thousand trials,

wow at length I succeeded to hit few balls well (last pictures: Okay all of those balls aren’t mine, lol).

We’re going on the pitch and putt: patience game to put the ball in the hole, it gets on my nerves (lol)! I even forget the rain! I do prefer the practice, more fun!

My arm and shoulders are a bit painful. Course done, I head to the beauty center of the resort area, for a neck massage. To be continued …
