PARTNER CONTENT FOR CASTEL FRAGSBURG
Castel Fragsburg ITALY
High above the imperial spa town of Merano in the majestic South Tyrolean mountains, Castel Fragsburg has been sitting enthroned for nearly 700 years, bordering the highest waterfall in South Tyrol. Today it’s the region’s smallest five- star hotel and boutique retreat, widely popular for its exquisite gourmet cuisine, the first alchemical spa in the world, the enchanting tree hut for body-and-mind harmonisation, as well as its outstanding scenic location amid vineyards and forests. The impressive structure, with a mind blowing panorama terrace overlooking the mountains is nestled in the fairytale grounds, which stretch out from the Fragsburg Maternum, where the guests reside, all the way up to the Fragsburg Paternum, to which guests can hike through the castle forest and use the meditation path and fitness parkour. All the while, guests can experience the medieval atmosphere of the Fragsburg Paternum facade on a sightseeing tour. Part of Castel Frasburg’s undeniable charm is its spectacular scenic location. Guests can
discover unspoilt natural beauty, full of floral scents and bright colours, soothing birdsong and a peaceful alpine serenity. A winding stone path snakes through chestnut groves and rose gardens, and leads to a heated pool with a lookout tower and lounge, sun deck, massage pool and a dreamy lawn for sunbathing, located between vineyards and orchards. For a spot of relaxation, those looking to
unwind are in safe hands. Right at the Fragsburg cliff, guests will find the magical Fragsburg Sanctuary, a yoga treehouse for body-and-mind transformation courses like chakra balancing, meditation and tea ceremonies, yoga, sound medicine as well as sacred chanting and dancing, run by the Sacred Arts Muse Bellé Flora. In the Castellum Natura Spa, the modern-day
‘alchemist’ prepares elixirs freshly from hand- selected herbs and flowers, as well as hydrolates energised by the moon and sun. Also on offer are precious oils, scrubs, masks and the Fragsburg rose cream. Fitness fans can use the Garden Gym, located in a cosy arbour in the huge park.
