For those who dream of an escape away from the world HotelmyPassion has selected 5 perfect and magical addresses.
Five perfect destinations for an escape dedicated only to yourself.
1 Capel Rosso lighthouse, Giglio Island
On the extreme southern tip of Giglio island, Punta Capel Rosso, a place of silence and magic, stands Faro Capel Rosso.
The structure is immersed in an area of great naturalistic value. That is, the national park of the Tuscan archipelago (Mab Unesco Reserve of the Tuscan Islands).
Built in 1883 by the Navy to illuminate the southern part of the island, it is made up of a white tower that rises in front of the central part. And also a rectangular building with red and white stripes overlooking the sea.
Today it is a place of silence and unique charm, embraced by amazing nature.
Since 2016 the lighthouse has been under concession to the Mura sisters. They are 3 Florentine entrepreneurs who have implemented a wise and accurate recovery and redevelopment work. Objective? Making the lighthouse an exclusive holiday destination while respecting the historical and naturalistic heritage.
A lighthouse, a light for sailors, becomes a protected environment in which to find an intimate dimension outside the world, surrounded only by the power of nature.
The time to read a book, paint, linger with your eyes closed listening to the sound of the sea and concentrate in silence on the rhythms of nature are emotions that only a place like this can give.
In the name of simplicity and authenticity, the rooms have been restored maintaining their original charm.
Four suites characterized by an austere simplicity, using living materials imbued with warmth. For example, the original stone of the floors, the wooden beams and the granite interact with furnishings chosen while respecting the original vocation of the structure.
The restaurant accompanies the guest on a journey through the flavors and aromas of the area, offering dishes that evoke ancient memories.
2 Olympic SPA Hotel, Val di Fassa
The Olympic SPA Hotel is a wellness retreat in the Ladin heart of Val di Fassa in Trentino. in which to live a 360° experience of regenerating relaxation away from the world.
Every design element is dedicated to comfort to escape from the daily frenzy. Here is the Relax Bolla, an 18 square meter geodesic dome that has chaise longues inside – with warm furs and wool blankets to provide warmth during the winter.
And here is the sauna suspended in the trees, a corner of paradise, made entirely of wood and completely immersed in nature.
The gem are the Natural Suites.
The 4 Te Bosch suites pay homage to the forest. In each of them an internal patio with transparent walls has been created: a private space accessible in every season, which brings light and nature into the environment.
The vegetation of the patio, the presence of a birch tree, the view of the sky, become part of a new experience for hotel guests, who can, for example, imagine being outdoors while taking a shower.
Or again, they can sleep outdoors on summer evenings, on suspended beds, and admire the starry sky.
3 Capofaro Locanda & Malvasia, Salina
4 Le Calette, Cefalù
For over fifty years, Le Calette has been recognized internationally as one of the most exclusive examples of hospitality in Sicily.
Immersed in one of the most evocative and scenic corners of the north coast of the island just outside the historic center of Cefalù and surrounded by 2 hectares of botanical park, the complex follows with its Mediterranean architecture the folds and inlets of the Caldura bay, insinuating itself in the small “coves” from which it takes its name.
The new 9 sea view suites are immersed in the hotel’s lush Mediterranean park.
They are a new housing typology characterized by the intimacy of a private garden equipped with a jacuzzi and the quiet of the nature in which it is immersed.
The design is inspired by Mediterranean architecture and its natural shades, with furnishing elements in olive wood and dove gray and hazelnut shades, in harmony and chromatic continuity with the external environment.
5 Lupaia, Val d’Orcia
Lupaia is an elegant boutique hotel located in the picturesque setting of the Tuscan countryside, on the hills of Torrita di Siena.
Heidi and Christopher Mueller had romantic aspirations. That is, escape the corporate world and create the perfect small luxury hotel.
For 2 years they spent their weekend free time searching for their Italian idyll. It needed to be intimate and secluded, but also easy to access the cultural riches of the region. Finally, they came across this beautiful hill outside Montepulciano, and that was how the Lupaia began.
It was once a remote and rugged place, which took its name from the wolves that prowled on the top of the hill, the farmers settled there and built the stone stables dotted along the paths. Heidi and Christopher have restored these original 2-story homes, transforming them into 12 charming rooms and suites.
