Bressanone – a city that revealed itself to me from a new perspective. South Tyrol

Western Europe  |  Brixen, South Tyrol

I had already been to Bressanone (once in 2018, and overall, I’ve visited South Tyrol about five times). However, during that first trip, I didn’t like the city much—or rather, I didn’t fully understand it and barely saw anything. I wrote about it here. This time, I chose Bressanone as my main base, staying in two hotels: Arthotel Lasserhaus and Badhaus. Both hotels are amazing, and you can explore them through my blog posts and Instagram (where there are plenty of videos). I wholeheartedly recommend both! One is modern, while the other is historic with antique furniture. Imagine starting your day with a delightful breakfast in a room with terrazzo tiles and Murano glass chandeliers and ending it in a private spa at Arthotel Lasserhaus. Isn’t that the epitome of luxury for any traveler? But let’s get back to the city itself.

My 2024 Year in Travel

Eastern Europe  |  Around the World

January, February, March, April, and May I stayed in Minsk and didn’t travel anywhere. I had a wonderful time with my family, enjoyed the beautiful Belarusian landscapes, went snowboarding, and played golf. I also took many walks around the city, both alone and with friends. I spent a lot of time at the theater watching opera and ballet. 2024 became the year of opera discovery for me. During the winter and spring months, I watched and listened to: Carmen, La Traviata, The Flying Dutchman, The Illusion of Love, Figaro, and The Nutcracker.

Arthotel Lasserhaus – a hotel in a historic 15th-century building in the center of Bressanone (Prix Versailles 2024)

Hotels  |  Brixen, Italy

At Lasserhaus, history literally permeates the building, bridging the past and present, seeping into modernity, blending with the new, and becoming a continuation of the lived past. Architecture, art, and culture serve as vessels for these transitions, giving shape and substance to these seemingly intangible places. Arthotel Lasserhaus is not just a hotel; it’s a historical retreat with incredible architecture and energy at the very heart of the city (yes, I mean Bressanone). The hotel is housed in a 15th-century historic building, picturesquely located in the artistic quarter of Stufels. It features 10 stylish rooms, some of which offer views of the Adlerbrücke Bridge, the parish church, and the Bressanone Cathedral. Guests can also enjoy a private sauna with a jacuzzi and cozy lounge areas. But let’s take it step by step.

The conceptual hotel Badhaus 4* and Viertel Bar in the heart of the old town of Bressanone.

Hotels  |  Brixen, Italy

The past month — or rather, the last 15 days—has been absolutely crazy, let me tell you. Montenegro, Croatia, Provence, Burgundy, Paris, Switzerland, and now here we are in Italy… in my favorite region, South Tyrol. We’ve come here to “catch our breath” and enjoy the sunny days of late autumn. But I’ll save that story for another time. Today, I want to share an incredible find with you: a modern hotel that you’d never expect to discover amidst the streets of a medieval town—and one you wouldn’t even notice unless you turned down the right alley. The Badhaus Hotel and Viertel Bar are located in Brixen (Bressanone), a place I visited six years ago. This time, however, I had the pleasure of rediscovering it from an entirely new perspective.

A stunning hotel in Provence, Le Couvent Des Minimes Hotel & Spa L’Occitane.

Western Europe  |  Provence, France

Couvent des Minimes Hotel & L’Occitane Spa reopened in 2023, transformed and revitalized, offering much that is new and beautiful. The newly reimagined Couvent des Minimes Hotel embodies fresh ideals: simplicity, elegance, harmony, relaxation, and refined pleasures. Fabien and ValĂ©rie Piacentino, the masters of the house, along with their team, have crafted a true art of hospitality, providing a warm and friendly atmosphere, much like a welcoming Provençal family home, for special moments. At the same time, the soul of the old convent has been carefully preserved. This incredibly aesthetic hotel stands out, setting itself apart from 90% of hotels in France!

Port Pin and En Vau in the Calanques, France. Parc National des Calanques.

Western Europe  |  Provence, France

Calanques are the jagged remains of ancient river mouths, stretching for 20 kilometers along the Mediterranean coast from Marseille to Cassis. The park covers land, sea, islands, and suburban areas. Cassis and the two most beautiful coves, Port Pin and En Vau, are just a 30-minute drive from Marseille. Climbing the Roches Blanches cliffs also has hidden bonuses—the stones “exfoliate” the skin, making it soft and tender.
