Unusual accommodations, part 2: unusual vacation homes on a British rock island or an old lighthouse ship in the middle of Amsterdam, from which one does not want to move out at all.
How about not the big hotel this time, but to be in a cool vacation property, with a pool and view, beautiful design and wine nearby, or even better, on the doorstep? Curious? Then take a look at these locations for chalet holiday of a different kind. And talk to your piggy bank.
White rabbit? Not a chance. But if, like Alice, you follow the white house dog instead, you'll discover a down-to-earth fun wine wonderland in South Tyrol at Vinum Hotel Spitalerhof. Including an idyllic garden pool, warm hosts and accommodation in XXL wine barrels with their own Jacuzzi, where you can unpack your own Cheshire cat during the nightly wine tasting. And that's how it's vacationing there!
You won't find the animal Big 5 here - but if you're on the hunt for culinary delights, wine, wellness, charming architecture and warm hosts, you can go on a South Tyrol safari at Hotel Hanswirt in Rabland near Merano. With only 20 rooms and suites, you have plenty of space and time to yourself in the picturesque garden with pool. And all for a fair budget.
