La grande bellezza. Palazzo Marconi in the Salentine town of Corigliano d’Otranto takes you back to a bygone era, and not just because of its name. The atmosphere of the South Italian turn of the century still permeates the stylishly renovated palace.
Temple 74 in Mellau in the Bregenz Forest is a project by Evi and Jürgen Haller. The Tempel 74 apartment buildings too skilfully combine tradition and modernity, as well as superb architecture and craftsmanship.
The old cotton mill in Leipzig is a melting pot for creative professionals. Numerous studios, galleries, workshops, a cinema, several theatres and shops have taken over this large factory site, located four kilometers away from the city centre.
Loblocher Hof is a winery built in 1841 in the picturesque wine village of Gimmeldingen on the edge of the Palatinate Forest and offers apartments with a mix from countryside ambience and modern elements.
On Lake Weissensee in Carinthia, where motorboats are banned and two-thirds of the shoreline will remain undeveloped in any case: the Alte Säge in Neusach offers six holiday flats nestled between a stream, a natural garden and the lakeshore. Once you’ve been there, you’ll want to return.
Le Marche in central Italy is not as well known as nearby Tuscany, but is a hot tip for travelers in Italy. The Borgo looks traditional from the outside, but inside it has a modern loft style with individually designed apartments.
The Ickelhäuser, three listed farmhouses in the Franconian town of Ickelheim, invite you to spend your holidays in a historical ambience. Carefully dismantled and properly renovated, the original appearance of the houses was largely restored.
On a hill in Umbria, the green heart of Italy, lies the Francocci 7 estate with sweeping views over the countryside. The former Fatttoria has been renovated and extended with modern architecture.
La Mugletta is a modern B&B in the Euganean hills of Northern Italy, not far from Padua, Vicenza and Venice. The interplay of nature and architecture was integral to the design of the building.

Pure deceleration: In the midst of the Lower Bavarian picture postcard landscape, the Hofgut Hafnerleiten offers a retreat in harmony with nature that combines the elements in a down-to-earth and architecturally subtle way.
BAIX DE S’ERA is a stylish place for a holiday in Mallorca away from mass tourism. The owners actually wanted to build a bungalow, but due to the building regulations this was not possible.
At Ansitz Hohenegg you can leave everyday life behind you. This former farmstead on a mountain ridge in the Allgäu is surrounded by high spruces on a sunny clearing and promises pure relaxation, thanks simply its solitary location amidst nature.
On the outskirts of Tabing, a small village near Bavaria’s Chiemsee, the outbuilding of an historic farmhouse has been replaced by modern timber architecture.
The old stone farmhouse in a beautiful panoramic position in the middle of the Moscata region in rural Piedmont, which had almost turned into ruin, was rebuilt over more than two years and restored with great attention to detail.
Authentic southern Italian way of life in the historic heart of the Apulian town of Galàtone. The apartment Principe Amedeo is located on the first floor of the Palazzo Nobile, an extension to the small church of San Giovanni Battista from the 17th century.
Mountain world and city life, tradition and modernity — a holiday at Iselhof in Lienz in East Tyrol has many facets. You live in the midst of greenery, but it only takes a few minutes to walk to the centre of the small town.
Au Perier, situated in the Dordogne in southwest France, is like a tiny, relaxed village: four houses, a central square, a pool, an open barn and a vegetable garden.
