Good intentions

The Festive days are just around the corner, but who does really manage to avoid getting caught up in the “last-minute Christmas rush”?

All the more insistent becomes our inner voice: “Hold on… and breathe!”

You probably have your good intentions for 2024 already in mind, yet here are some perfect places where to pause for a moment, find your balance… and even row.

Holiday home

Holnis22

Holnis22 near Glücksburg and the Flensburg Fjord is elegantly understated. In order to let the architect’s house from 1961 live on, the architect and designer Sönke Martensen has continued to develop the existing building. With a great deal of sensitivity, the original idea of the house was uncovered and transformed with just a few interventions.

Apartment

Kavaliershaus Schloss Blücher

Holiday in an old village school: The Kavaliershaus at Lake Fincken, one of more than a thousand lakes in the Mecklenburg Lake District, is a listed classicist manor house from the 18th century.

La Paula

The La Paula is located in the South Tyrolean mountain village of Seis – surrounded by the Dolomites and near the Seiser Alm, Europe’s largest high alpine pasture.

House

A house with a multiper personality: traditional on the outside, extravagant on the inside! An extraordinary mix of styles awaits guests in the Voglen2 holiday home – from Bavarian to Asian.

Kornspeicher Mauritz

Between cornfields, paddocks and the bay, to the south east of the holiday island of Rügen, lies the village of Zicker, and the Kornspeicher Mauritz.

House

Villa Sorriso

Small bays, white sandy beaches, sophisticated Art Nouveau buildings – in the charming seaside town of Castiglioncello, where artists and actors were once inspired by the beauty of the Etruscan coast, Villa Sorriso lies amidst the lush greenery and looks far across the Tyrrhenian Sea.
