Falling into the fountain of youth once and never get old or ill. The desire for a long and healthy life is growing. The associated trends are called longetivity and healthy ageing. Although there is no magic water as a rejuvenating cure, there are other measures that can help us to age with vitality, such as BodyClearance® therapy from the Ayus Clinic.

You don’t need great adventures or well-known destinations to find yourself. It is often the tranquil places that lead to unexpected depths and give us inner peace. Take Scheggino, for example. The medieval village lies somewhere between Rome and Rimini in the centre of Italy in fairytale Umbria. Some of the stone houses belong to the Torre del Nera, an Albergo Diffuso. A visit to the breathtaking spa in the rock is a particularly good way of finding yourself.

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.

Imagine walking into a room full of building blocks, vivid colours and joyful music. What do you feel? A sense of lightness, perhaps a small tingle of anticipation? Or do you just think: Right, where shall I start with all this?
Maybe just allow your imagination to run wild and use them to build a house? After all, playing isn’t just for children. Play is also a valuable resource in our adult lives, but it’s so easily forgotten among all the pressure and stress.
