INSPIRATION FROM AROUND THE WORLD FOR AN AESTHETIC AND MEANINGFUL LIFESTYLE
There are some moments in the mountains that are particularly beautiful because you can't predict or evoke them. They just happen. This includes the appearance of animals in nature. Encounters with capricorns or golden eagles and the wild, unadulterated behaviour of the animals make up the magic of the moment. A good starting point for the search for the so-called Big Five is the Gradonna****s Mountain Resort at Kals am Großglockner.
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.

The golden twilight of the year with its cosy atmosphere, warm colours and pleasantly cooler days is a benevolent invitation to slow down.

The Amalfi Coast, one of Italy's most picturesque regions, has always attracted artists, writers and bon vivants from all over the world. The breathtaking landscape, where steep cliffs alternate with crystal-clear waters, lush lemon groves and charming villages clinging to the mountainsides, provide a backdrop that has inspired for centuries. As early as the 19th century, the Romantics found a source of inexhaustible inspiration here, and since then the Amalfi Coast has been a magnet for people seeking beauty in life.

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.
Seegut Zeppelin is a special place: one with history, one with unspoilt nature, one of the few with access to Lake Constance, one that elegantly combines the past and the modern, one that is treated with respect.

The Fennel family has captured the genius loci of Seegut Zeppelin and, with the help of Plösser Architekten and interior design studio Linie Zweii, has created a breathtaking retreat.
