FOMO – are you familiar with this buzzword? It’s short for “fear of missing out”, a phenomenon that likes to strike in everyday life and sometimes even makes an appearance on holiday.

Even as a child, she was welcomed by the guests at her parents’ establishment with a glass of schnapps in their hands. As a born and bred “Puschterin” [someone from Pustertal] and with experience in hospitality, Gudrun Huber now runs the Hofergut in her South Tyrolean homeland. With a great deal of passion and enthusiasm, she looks after both her guests and the almost 1,000-year-old property. She’s like the Fairy Godmother of the building. We asked her about where the walls express their historic charm, which collector’s items are hidden here and what she takes out of the smokehouse at night, plus much more.
Natural materials, an earthy colour palette, handmade light fittings and baskets, bespoke designer furniture from their own shop, antiques and a special fragrance – the interior of The Wild is a love letter to modern design and ancient Greece: paradise with a delightfully wild side.

The Küglerhof in South Tyrol is surrounded by vineyards, meadows, forests and panoramic views. Owner Karoline Dilitz affectionately calls the surrounding 3.5 hectares of her hotel the Green Island.

allows the chef’s table and Ofyr cooking unit to merge into one.
Watch a blade of grass in the wind, watch the sun over the mountains, listen to the birds chirping, look up at the sky, look up at the sky a little longer, breathe in, breathe out, breathe deeply. Nature grounds us, nature makes us calm, nature helps us to leave everyday life behind. In Puradies, we encounter nature in many different ways.
In recent years, Mallorca has developed into a destination for sustainable tourism and mindful travel, making it the perfect place for environmentally conscious and relaxation-seeking travellers.

By the time the shouts of Jedermann echo through the streets of Salzburg, it is clear that the festival summer has begun. While the Ouverture Spirituelle provides the classical prelude, Don Giovanni seduces his Zerlina and Herbert Blomstedt, almost 100 years old, is ready to conduct the Philharmonic Orchestra, the city itself once again becomes a stage. Here people stroll, discuss, shop and laugh… The Hotel Stein has always been one of the venues.
A new chapter is being opened at the Hofergut in the picturesque Pustertal Valley in South Tyrol. From now on, you can stay here in a modern ambience in a historical setting.
