The shapes of beauty

between nature and architecture

The eclectic ambience and bright colours of the 1970s meet the essential lines and geometries of contemporary architecture. A unique double holiday to discover two iconic hospitality facilities in South Tyrol: the Seehotel Ambach and the Schgaguler Hotel.

6 nights from 1167 € per person

From the lake...

Right on the shores of Lake Caldaro you will find an authentic gem of South Tyrolean architecture: the Seehotel Ambach, designed in the 1970s by the visionary architect Othmar Barth.

With its Seventies atmosphere, bright colours and contemporary design, this unique hotel du lac will allow you to relax by the pool in its spacious and generous private park or take part in all the exciting activities taking place by the lake: swimming, windsurfing, stand-up paddle boarding and pedal boating. And from here you can stroll, hike or cycle through the gentle surroundings of Caldaro, among the colours and scents of vineyards and apple orchards.  And then finish off with an open-air dinner on the hotel terrace as the sun silently sets behind the hills.

...to the Dolomites

And after three days by the lake, new geographies and settings await you in Castelrotto, where the Schgaguler Hotel, designed by architect Peter Pichler, will open the doors to its three sleek and sculptural towering, sloped roofs.

From there, the Dolomites will be at your fingertips, at a wheel’s distance. The hotel is the perfect starting point for leisurely walks in the woods, for more daring excursions on the Dolomite peaks, for trekking and mountain biking, amidst breathtaking panoramas and adrenalin-pumping routes, right in the middle of the most incredible Alpine nature. And after a full immersion in the marvels of this unique part of the world, you will find the relaxing embrace of the Spa at the hotel together with the cosmopolitan atmosphere of the bar, its comfortable armchairs dressed in forest green loden and the immense glass windows with a view of the mountains.

Two stories and two geographies that, as often happens with opposites, attract. Two different ways of being that share the same sense of open, cosmopolitan hospitality. Two extraordinary architectural imaginaries to experience and explore. Only to then dive deep into the exploration of nature. Two different concepts of holiday, one vacation in South Tyrol, to discover the shapes of beauty.
