Enchanted valleys in autumn silence

As the summer season comes to an end, the desire for the mountains lingers, especially with such a wide and enticing selection of accommodations. The Deluxu.it editorial team suggests an itinerary through the mountain areas spanning Trentino-Alto Adige, Tyrol, and Veneto. Outdoor spaces, sports, exclusive spa wellness, traditional events, and scenic hikes never truly come to an end. We feel the call of nature to reconnect with ourselves through moments of contemplation and sometimes meditation. Here are some high-end hotel recommendations linked by a fil rouge: Europe’s most beautiful Alpine regions, originality, and deep connection with nature. This is an offer aimed at discerning travelers, lovers of beauty, and those with a “solid” budget.
Veneto, a vast region in northeastern Italy, boasts remarkable geographical diversity and is also famous for the Dolomiti d’Ampezzo and the nearby Tre Cime di Lavaredo. In this area stands out the 5-star Grand Hotel Savoia in Cortina www.grandhotelsavoiacortina.it, offering a full experience of the mountain atmosphere, with the unique touch of impeccable breakfasts crafted by chef Luigi Sarsano. Since 1912, this hotel has been a symbol of refinement and luxury, and its breakfast reflects this character. After waking up, guests can choose from a wide variety of itineraries, from MTB trails to shopping and cultural visits. We especially recommend the Giro del Sorapis and the Giro delle Tre Cime, two challenging routes with breathtaking mountain views. The price for one night with breakfast included starts at €490 for a double room.
Staying on the theme of a sweet awakening, in the Austrian Tyrol just a few kilometers from the Italian border stands Bio Hotel Stanglwirt www.stanglwirt.com,a 5-star boutique hotel that embraces nature as a physical and spiritual refuge. The mountains promote wellness, and the pure air fosters restorative sleep. In the morning, guests are greeted by an excellent breakfast buffet with homemade specialties such as cheeses, jams, and local pastries—accompanied by a spectacular view of the Wilder Kaiser mountain range. After breakfast, guests can enjoy sports like tennis and horseback riding, or opt for pure relaxation in the 12,000-square-meter spa. The price is €300 per person for a double room with breakfast and spa access included.
The border area between Alto Adige (San Candido), Veneto (Cortina), and Austria (Lienz) is defined by the imposing Dolomites. Here, just steps from San Candido, we recommend Bad Moos Aqua Spa Resort in Sesto (BZ) www.badmoos.it, the ideal spot for a luxurious “October escape.” This resort capitalizes on autumn as the perfect season for hikes and unique experiences. The “October Escape among the Colors of the Mountains” package includes free cable car rides in the Dolomiti di Sesto area and access to the Soma & Anima Spa for complete body-and-mind regeneration. Thanks to the lifts, guests can quickly immerse themselves in stunning mountain landscapes. The package includes two overnight stays with 3/4 board, spa access, and lift passes at a price of €800 per person.
Heading southwest, toward the Veronese area and the border between Lombardy and Veneto, the landscape shifts from mountains to plains. In Asparetto di Cerea (VR), nestled among vast fields and an ancient park, stands Villa-Ormaneto www.villaormaneto.com, an estate dating back to the 1300s, defined by its location in nature and its luxurious character. The surrounding countryside makes this villa an evocative and unique venue, perfect for weddings and civil ceremonies. The property can host dinners for up to 180 seated guests, and its affiliated restaurant VIOR, led by chef Gianluca Da Rin Perette, celebrates traditional Venetian cuisine with a contemporary twist for a refined dining experience. For those wishing to extend their stay, the villa offers several suites with top-tier amenities.
The regional border between Veneto and Lombardy is marked by Lake Garda, a hub for excursions and day trips. Here, in Manerba sul Garda (BS), you’ll find Lago Idro Glamping Boutique www.vacanzecolcuore.com, a luxury campsite celebrating its 5th anniversary and open year-round. The key theme here is nature, closely followed by sport. The term “boutique” perfectly captures the concept behind this glamping site, which offers over 90 accommodation options. Far from being just a summer destination, it also caters to winter vacations, pioneering the concept of “Winter Glamping”—luxury camping in the cold season. This spot is ideal for families, sports enthusiasts, and those eager to explore off-road trails on foot or by mountain bike. The property emphasizes environmental sustainability while maintaining a high-end profile.
For chestnut lovers, we highlight the “Chestnut Weeks” in Velturno (BZ), running from October 18 to November 9, 2025. We also recommend visiting Chiusa, recognized among Italy’s most beautiful villages and known as the “City of Artists” (following in the footsteps of 16th-century painter Albrecht Dürer). Food and wine enthusiasts can savor elegant, aromatic wines here. Don’t miss the Monastery of Sabiona, an ancient Benedictine pilgrimage site and former cloistered convent—a mystical structure towering over the valley. A perfect invitation to pause, reflect, and give thanks for the beauty surrounding us. ©Deluxu.it Magazine
