Boutique Hotel Wachtelhof, Maria Alm, Austria

• Alpine feel-good factor: A family-run chalet hotel designed with love by architect Michele Bönan and his wife, Boutique Hotel Wachtelhof - part of the prestigious Small Luxury Hotels of the World group - is a haven that offers a retreat unlike any other. Your own chalet-style room, a sanctuary of comfort, is furnished with the finest touches: plush cashmere furs, rich loden fabrics, and warm regional wood.
  
  
• Unadulterated mountain idylls: Clad in a warm embrace of wood, the hotel seamlessly blends into the natural verdant surroundings of the mountains. Imagine starting your day with a picture-perfect breakfast on the terrace, the view a feast for your eyes? Then, lose yourself in the tranquillity of nature on long hikes, a world away from the clamour of the crowds.
  
  
• Pure relaxation: Recharge and rejuvenate at the spa with its diverse offerings, from the invigorating heat of the Finnish sauna and deep warmth of the infrared cabin to the detoxifying herbal sauna. In between sessions, unwind by the flickering electric fireplace, enveloped by calming music - you'll feel your stress melt away.
