The South Tyrolean 4-star superior Hotel My Arbor - which is only 12 minutes away from Bressanone - is a true place of power and therefore worth a trip. On the slopes of the Plose, surrounded by woods and meadows, lies the tree hotel with 104 suites - built on stilts, high up in the treetops of the surrounding trees.
The guests of the adults-only retreat are invited to find there what often comes too short in the hectic everyday life: time for the now, time for silence, time for the surrounding nature, time for yourself. You are allowed to create this "me-time" individually, because here every guest will find the answer to his or her very personal needs. The focus of the accommodation is on holidays without constraints with the greatest possible freedom for your own rhythm. So you can have breakfast until noon. Swimming after sunset and sauna in the morning is also possible. Those who want to go on a shopping tour will be delighted in Brixen.
