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 />
