Tratterhof - The Mountain Sky Hotel, Maranza, Italy

• Peaks and panoramas: Blending seamlessly with the rolling hills, lush pine forests and majestic mountains beyond, you’ll soon see where Tratterhof - The Mountain Sky Hotel gets its name. Perched at 1500 metres above sea level at the heart of Italy’s beautiful alpine region of South Tyrol, it’s no surprise that the surrounding landscape is the undisputed star of the show. And with luxurious interiors marrying traditional alpine designs with sleek minimalist décor, you’re in for a sumptuous and ultra-modern mountain retreat.

• Alpine eats: Complete with a wine cellar housing an impressive selection of local and international wine, at the hotel's elegant restaurant La Cantina, culinary standards are as high as its privileged panoramic position. Centred on a philosophy of high-quality, seasonal products sourced from local farmers and certified regional producers, chef Davide Carbone celebrates South Tyrol’s rich culinary heritage through a tantalising menu of traditional dishes with a refined and innovative twist. Elsewhere, head to the bar for stylish tipples and light lunchtime eats, and keep an eye out for weekly cooking classes and wine tastings.

• State-of-the-art spa: Boasting no less than 4000 square metres of dedicated facilities, the sprawling Monte Silva Mountain Spa takes alpine wellness to new heights. You’ll find two magnificent infinity pools with all the views you could ask for, an indoor pool, and several relaxation areas to unwind in. For top-to-toe pampering, choose between the family-friendly and the adults-only sauna areas - the latter also features a luxurious spa, a panoramic whirlpool and terrace, and a special area for guests wishing to go au naturel. And for a complete back-to-nature experience, switch up a session at the Technogym fitness centre with a spot of sunset yoga under the sky.
