Trentino & South Tyrol
Incorporating historical furniture from the original farmhouse along with beautiful contemporary design and the wool and wood of the region, these thoroughly South Tyrolean apartments in the gorgeous Val Senales (Schnalstal) – a side valley branching north from Val Venosta – are incredibly evocative. Set high on a pretty green hillside, they offer magnificent views and come equipped with full cooking facilities.
There's also a Finnish and infrared sauna in the barn.
