INSPIRATION FROM AROUND THE WORLD FOR AN AESTHETIC AND MEANINGFUL LIFESTYLE
Piece by piece, interior designer Pascale Lauber and co-owner Ulrike Bauschke have carefully renovated and modernized this historic palazzo. A particularly striking contrast to the ancient walls is found in the steel-framed windows and doors, reminiscent of diamonds. Unique antique pieces and custom-made furnishings from various countries and eras come together in a truly magical way. The sofas and bed headboards come from South Africa, a fire bowl from the South African bush has been transformed into a bathtub. An old olive press serves as a communal table, and an impressive chandelier, designed by Pascale Lauber herself, hangs from the bar’s ceiling.
As summer gently retreats, nature begins to settle into a quieter rhythm. And so do we, slowing down to reflect on all we've experienced. Places like the Valle dei Laghi in Trentino are perfect for this. Especially the charming Agritur La Dolce Mela, where autumn tastes of warm colors, a touch of dolce vita, fine wine, and sweet apples.
Forte Village
Since 1970, the Forte Village in the south of Sardinia has had only one goal: to offer its guests a unique, exclusive and incomparable vacation. The house enjoys an impeccable reputation, whose secret of success, besides the interaction with international sporting as well as culinary greats of the hotel industry, are constant renovations and optimizations.
