What makes a holiday perfect? When we get the chance to take some time for ourselves. When we can enjoy rest and activity without having to comply with appointments and schedules. When we feel truly welcome and are given space for inspiration and relaxation. Well, we have something for you. The quaint village of Lech am Arlberg (in Austria) has only 100 inhabitants and, for the past 24 years, the matchless 4-star hotel ‚Stäfeli‘. Right on the hillside, imbedded in spectacular scenery, run with a lot of love and care and just recently elaborately remodelled and renovated, the Stäfeli (you just want to say that again and again, don’t you?) offers time and space in abundance to just let your thoughts, ideas and dreams fly. The sophisticated and stylish rooms are equipped with furniture and accessories from Gervasoni, Designers Guild or Varaschin and Rausch. There’s a spa with an indoor pool with counter current, water spouts, a sauna and a gym that offers Chimosa workshops and courses such as boxing yoga. If, that is, you have any energy left after a day on skis or snowshoes. Those who prefer to relax can resort to one of the many havens of peace and quiet. In co-operation with Stephanie Wissmann from the blog Stepanini, a literary concept was developed for each room that let’s you dive into innumerable topically matched books and texts to your heart’s content. Our highlight, however, is the ‚ZeitRaum’ (meaning time-room) which is all about spending time together, literally. Together with local decorators, game tables were designed for young and old to enjoy themselves together in Summer or Winter and turn their backs on modern technology. Delicious food is served in the restaurant ‚s’Achtele’, amongst others. People, this is the perfect holiday. The Stäfeli is re-opening tomorrow. Inquire about booking on their website.
