Vigilius Mountain Resort: A Room At The Top Of Mountain

Posted on June 16, 2012 | Leave a comment

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.

Vigilius Mountain Resort : une chambre ouverte sur la montagne

Posted on June 16, 2012 | Leave a comment

La chambre est spacieuse,

sans télé et peu d’éléments comme j’aime, rectiligne, limite monacale. Après une longuissime journée ballotée entre deux aéroports, la route de Munich à Lana via Merano, les paysages superbes de la vallée de l’Adige sur fond de Dolomiti… et un téléphérique privé pour accéder au Vigilius Mountain Resort, écologe chic “perdu” à 1500 mètres d’altitude, en pleine nature : enfin je me pose.

Se couper du temps, du monde, je déconnecte, sans portable (l’exploi!). La vue est juste saisissante depuis l’immense baie vitrée. Montagnes vierges tapissées de hautes forêts. Dans la pénombre naissante, l’air est frais, pur et vivifiant. Je pourrai rester des heures là contemplative, mais j’ai un dîner au Restaurant 1500 de l’hôtel (très belle vue au petit déjeuner).

Le matin, vers 6h, ma chambre baigne dans une douce lumière rouge, premiers rayons du soleil perçant les nuages, le panorama est spectaculaire (photos 5 et 1)! Difficile de s’extraire du lit (literie impeccable), pour rejoindre le spa et profiter de la piscine dès l’ouverture.

Sintra, Portugal: Tivoli Palacio De Seteais, The Precious Hotel

Posted on May 25, 2012 | Leave a comment

After my posts of the room and gardens, here’s the last post on the beautiful corridors and lounges of the Tivoli Palacio De Seteais. An absolute crush on this former palace of the Eighteenth century where Lord Byron stayed, today turned into a luxury boutique hotel. Elegant, warm and decadent: hanging out in its long corridors may set up an activity, there is always something to discover, a decorative, painting, porcelain … Everything here leads to an encounter with beauty: for all of those seeking a timeless haven. A priceless spot.
