Magical, fairytale-like, unique, special, straight out of a movie, just a few words and feelings that immediately come to mind when I think back about our stay at Schloss Hotel Korb in Italy.

Imaging traveling the Dolomites, days and days of amazing mountain scenery. Then you travel on towards the wine region of the Dolomites. You pass the city of Bolzano and start winding through one vineyard after another. Your navigation says: 'turn right' and there it is, this impressive and authentic 13th Century castle that rises proudly above the vineyards and overlooks Bolzano and the mountains.

Rooftop pools with views over the Dolomites, chirping birds as my wake up call and a brand new hotel were the ingredients that lured me to a little village up in the hills in Bolzano, South Tyrol. The next coming nights I was staying in Hotel Saltus in San Genesio, a new eco friendly luxury hotel.

Some of my friends were telling me for a couple years now to visit San Genesio. So when this summer I was on a road trip in the Dolomites I figured I could finally see what the fuzz was about. While staying at Hotel Saltus I found the relaxing time that I craved so much after my already 2 week road trip in the Dolomites.
