theiner's garten

Immerse yourself in nature and draw new strength from it – this is the premise of the biorefugium theiner's garten. The hotel is located in the heart of northern Italy's beautiful countryside, where spring arrives early. Guests are drawn to the outdoors, to the beautiful, spacious garden with its pool and edible herbs, to yoga under the apple trees or a relaxing hike in the surrounding area. Nature can also be felt everywhere in the hotel itself. The rooms were built with innovative, ecological aspects in mind, and most of the ingredients on the plates come from the hotel's own garden or from the organic farm right next door.

Seehotel Einwaller

There is hardly a more beautiful place to celebrate the warm season than lakelise. Also known as the Turquoise Sea of Tyrol due to its beautiful color, Lake Achensee comes to life around Easter time. While there is still snow on the surrounding mountain peaks, it slowly turns Mediterranean here on the shore. At the private jetty of the Seehotel Einwaller, the parasols are unfolded and the sun loungers are set up when the rays of sunshine start reflecting in the water. The modern hotel is the perfect retreat in Pertisau and offers peace and tranquility for all those who expect something more from their time-out. They don't claim to be "easy to fall in love with" for nothing: Here, you will quickly fall for the breathtaking rooftop spa with a dreamlike view over the lake, the culinary mix of Tyrolean and Italian, the minimalist, cozy design and the "Simply Private" concept, which guarantees supreme privacy. The hotel is open from May 9, 2024.

Genusshotel Riegersburg

The Styrian thermal- and volcanic region is Mediterranean and delightful. Because the climate here is milder than anywhere else in Austria, vines and orchards thrive particularly well from the spring months onwards. The Genusshotel Riegersburg, which is nestled in the traditional Starzenberg vineyard, guarantees first-class wines and culinary delights. 44 rooms and two suites serve as a retreat, but during the day, guests are drawn out into the countryside or to Riegersburg castle. The hotel is also a good starting point for enjoyable journeys through Styria. Head chef Rainer Kaufmann draws on the diversity of regional produce to create choice five-course menus for gourmets, accompanied by fine wines from the cellar.

Admission is already included as part of the "King's Days" at Hotel König Ludwig. The adults-only resort is located right next to the castle and is the best place to really enjoy the first days of spring and take care of yourself.
