THE RITZ-CARLTON,<br />

BACHELOR GULCH HOTEL<br />

COLORADO, USA<br />

Nestled in an exclusive enclave on Beaver<br />

Creek Mountain in Colorado, this fancy<br />

getaway will let you choose between active<br />

outdoor activities or provide quiet spaces to<br />

let one’s thoughts drift in and out. Ski from<br />

village to village, enjoy a hike in the refreshing<br />

Colorado mountain air or test that golfing<br />

arm on their golf courses. Finally, end off your<br />

ski day with an après-ski cocktail and small<br />

bites at the sophisticated bar and lounge<br />

adjacent to the restaurant. Or, relax into your<br />

stay with a restorative treatment at the 21,000<br />

square-foot spa and soak in the hot tubs<br />

tucked neatly away in a cluster of aspen.<br />

LA PEDEVILLA<br />

SOUTH TYROL, BOLZANO, ITALY<br />

It usually takes a night to get used to sleeping at altitude,<br />

especially over 2,000 metres. But, La Pedevilla, which is situated<br />

in the small hamlet of Pliscia, is over 1,100 metres above sea<br />

level. Perfect. You will not have to adjust or adapt to many<br />

changes, we hope! Key takeaways from this getaway home<br />

is that it is situated in the heart of the Dolomite Alps and<br />

amongst the most impressive mountain ridges, in a landscape<br />

which was formerly and still is defined by agriculture. Another<br />

interesting factor is that you will have the opportunity to talk,<br />

mingle and interact with the architects Armin Pedevilla and<br />

Caroline Willeit who live in the residence. The adjacent chalet<br />

is your holiday home!<br />

Meanwhile, regional ornaments and characteristics, like the<br />

gable roof, loggias and the common timber facade were<br />

incorporated into the design while taking pride in sustainability<br />

and self-sufficiency, the site has its own water source and takes<br />

advantage in the usage of geothermal and solar energy.<br />
