The Dolomites
It's only 25 minutes south of Brunico, but this stylish black-clad chalet – next to the architect-owner's home – feels deliciously remote. Two pine-floored bedrooms sit above an open living space that's both calmingly simple and super cosy. Huge windows make everyday cinema of the extraordinary, ever-changing mountain and valley views, and there's a design-focused library, a big TV and a well-equipped kitchen.
Good skiing and excellent hikes of all levels are only a short drive away.
