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.

Gentle tran­sition to the next gene­ration: the reno­vation of the former farm­house d’Kammer in the Lower Allgäu is a tribute to the past, a cele­bration of mini­malism and a labour of love that shines through in every detail.

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.

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 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.

Le Marche in central Italy is not as well known as nearby Tuscany, but is a hot tip for tra­velers in Italy. The Borgo Tran­quillo looks tra­di­tional from the outside, but inside it has a modern loft style with indi­vi­dually designed apart­ments.

From the outside, the GDR pre­fa­bri­cated building on the edge of Mär­kische Schweiz faces up to its past without embel­lishment; inside, it breaks up old struc­tures and sur­prises with two bright, airy holiday homes.

The Bre­gen­zerwald is known for its modern wooden buil­dings and high quality craft­smanship. An example of this archi­tecture, com­bining inno­vation and tra­dition, is the house Islen in the muni­ci­pality of Mellau.

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.

Les Rochers is situated in a quiet and secluded location between green fields in the Bocage Normand, a hedge land­scape typical of Nor­mandy.

Summer freshness with Art Nouveau vibes: Villa Fran­cioli sits above the western shore of Lake Mag­giore, in the midst of an enchanted garden with old azaleas, camellia and palm trees. A har­mo­nious blend of his­to­rical ele­gance and con­tem­porary design.

The Gutshaus Frie­den­felde lies like a novel in the Bran­denburg coun­tryside. An ensemble, partly from the 18th century, which blends history, modernity and culture in a striking way.

Unwind in style: Set in a vineyard, the three accom­mo­da­tions at Quinta da Lila give an old Por­tu­guese farm a new lease of life — with subtle aes­thetics, con­tem­porary comfort and unusual pools.
