Romantik Hotel Stafler, South Tyrol, ItalyDreamy South Tyrol spa hotel with Michelin-starred dining

• Award-winning stay: With the breathtaking Dolomites in the middle distance, the Tripadvisor Certificate of Excellence-holding Romantik Hotel Stafler sits in the South Tyrol region of Italy with the Austrian border close by. As you would expect from its location, it’s an Alpine retreat offering stunning views of the mountains, verdant forests and meadows jewelled with wild flowers.

• Michelin-starred eats: Acclaimed chef Peter Girtler has compiled different tasting menus in the prestigious double Michelin-starred (as well as four Gault & Millau merited) Gourmetstube Einhorn, which puts a modern, refined spin on dishes influenced by local ingredients - many of which have been grown on-site in the hotel’s kitchen garden. Alternatively, dine at the restaurant Gasthofstube for deliciously typical Tyrolean recipes amid a more romantic setting. 

• Relaxing spa: With an indoor pool filled with fresh, invigorating water from the nearby Sterzinger and Mausler mountains, Romantica Wellness also boasts a relaxation room, a fitness area with state-of-the-art equipment and a sauna. When it comes to treatments there’s a range of scrubs, wraps, baths and massages for you to choose from, all featuring products that contain active ingredients extracted from the region’s wild mountain herbs (fees apply). There's also a park for those wishing to spend romantic moments in the beautiful outdoors.
