The Most Romantic Chalet in the World Exists (and it's in South Tyrol)

If there were a house at the end of the world, it would be this one. It's no coincidence that you'll find roots and walls made of larch, the most weather-resistant wood in nature and rare in Italy (Canadians are much luckier). The first time you enter these houses, close your eyes and breathe, take a deep whiff of the power of the wood, the sturdy and solid kind that constitutes the dream of a weekend, a week, and a lifetime. The San Luis Private Retreat Hotel & Lodges is a gem: this was clear when it was announced that after 91 years of honorable activity with the Meisters Hotel Irma in Merano, the Meister family on December 1, 2015, in Avelengo, South Tyrol, would open a second hotel, this time spread out and made up of chalets right by the water and tree houses - larches - raised on stilts. But here something completely different happens: here you are in the anti-atomic shelter connected to the world, in the perfect retreat for making love, in the sauna with a view of the world. > Claudia Meister tells us, the soul of this paradise on earth along with her family, made of absolute privacy (breakfast arrives in chalets without you noticing: a door is slightly opened and the concierge brings the organic and delicious breakfast at the previously established time. All you have to do is wake up).
