2nd tip: Hotel Bodenmaiser Hof, Bavarian Forest

In Bavaria people don’t cuddle or cuddle, they cuddle. Those who want to celebrate the art of cuddling in a stylish Bavarian way will find the best conditions in the Bodenmaiser Hof.

Breakfast in bed can be pre-ordered as an extra in the evening – all you have to do is tick your wishes on a piece of paper.

After a few hours of sweethearts, however, it is urgently advisable to leave the room. Because the wellness area, which has won numerous awards, boasts various pools in the water world, including the “NakedRock” pool. There are eight different saunas in the adults-only sauna world – from the sweat chamber to the mound event sauna, in which schnapps infusions are also celebrated with a show and music. Speaking of schnapps: the senior manager of the house, Wolfgang Geiger, produces his own distillates in his private distillery, such as the pink “RUNDAI Gin 51”. In this sense: A toast to love!

3rd tip: The Edelweiss in Grossarl, Austria

A place of retreat for everyone who has just fallen in love and wants to feel deeply loved again: The Edelweiss Mountain Resort is located in the Grossarl Valley in Salzburger Land, directly on the slopes and attracts romantics with rooms that are lovingly decorated as cuddly nests with candles and red roses , sweet surprise and sparkling wine as well as breakfast in bed.

This comes from the hotel kitchen, which has been awarded two toques, and is based on local and seasonal products. The Petrus Fine Dining in the Kaminstube is brand new, where exclusive menus are served with great attention to detail. True to the motto: An evening for the senses.

4th tip: Hubertus Mountain Refugio in the Allgäu

It’s good to be careful with yourself. And with your partner even more. In the Hubertus Mountain Refugio in Balderschwang, everything is based on a “HolisticLife” concept, which is about achieving holistic balance. In the spacious spa area, the Far East is combined with the Alpine. Lovers can withdraw into cocoons hanging from the ceiling and float towards seventh heaven.

If you want to make yourself supple and flexible for your loved one, you can do so in the free morning and evening yoga sessions. The 66 rooms and suites have promising names such as summit happiness, heaven or eagle’s nest and are puristic, but with a love of detail and furnished with lots of natural materials: cowhide as carpets, sheepskin on chairs and free-standing bathtubs with a view of the Allgäu Alps. Romance can hardly be more stylish!

5th tip: Naturhotel Leitlhof in Alta Pusteria, South Tyrol

Sustainability and love are two values ​​that harmonize well with each other. In the South Tyrolean Leitlhof in San Candido, these are lived in an exemplary manner. To be more precise: The nature hotel with its 62 rooms is one of the first energy self-sufficient hotels in Europe and has been able to call itself climate-positive for more than ten years. Our own wood-fired power plant, our own water source and our own farm enable us to treat the environment with care – which can also be felt in every corner of the house.

Speaking of feeling: For couples in love, the spa with its six saunas and various pools – all with a panoramic view of the Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage Site – has special pampering offers. A milk, rock oil or stone pine bath in the Kaiser tub followed by a massage, for example, or a deluxe caress for two with hay flower peeling and grape seed oil for ultimate soft skin. After that, nothing stands in the way of tenderness in the cozy rooms – at most the 5-course dinner, a playful combination of South Tyrolean recipes, Mediterranean influences and food from our own farm and garden. After all, love goes through the stomach.
