Idyllic getaways for two

6 trendy ideas for a weekend with your other half

AUTUMN 2021 - What could be more romantic than the fiery hues of the foliage setting the woods alight? Or a leisurely stroll in search of a panoramic paradise to share, in the gentle embrace of nature? Or a revitalising thermal bath with a view of the Dolomites?

All of this is what autumn means in Trentino, a series of magical moments with one key ingredient to treasure: the special person there by your side.

So, we’ve chosen 6 romantic experiences, to share with the one you love.

#1

Exploration plus relaxation

Exploration in nature, then relaxation at the spa: it’s possible in Val di Fassa! Begin your day with a leisurely horseback ride in the surroundings of the Catinaccio Group, then spend your afternoon sinking into the health-giving waters of the pools at the QC Terme spa, in Pozza di Fassa. Hot tubs, Kneipp paths, waterfalls and steam baths, all at the foot of the Dolomites.

#2

The forest of art

Arte Sella is what happens when nature meets human creativity. In autumn, its over 50 works of land art blaze brightly with the colours of the forest and in the monumental garden of Villa Strobele. To finish off your day in Valsugana, make a stop for dinner at Ca’Stalla, the restaurant inside Pergine Castle with a refined, zero-km culinary offering.

#3

Enjoy art even as you eat

A Michelin-starred restaurant with a prestigious location: Alfio Ghezzi’s “Senso” is located inside the Rovereto Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, or “MART”. Below a dome designed by starchitect Mario Botta, your visit to these masterpieces of painting, sculpture and design concludes with a work of culinary art.

#4

A fairytale atmosphere

An elegant restaurant offers a gourmet dinner in the halls of a Renaissance castle, perched on a peninsula at the centre of a gleaming emerald-green lake. You’re at Toblino Castle, in Valle dei Laghi, just a twenty-minute drive from Trento and the ideal place to raise a glass with the one you love by the light of the moon.

#5

Sitting cosily around the fireplace

What would you say to a glass of wine in front of a crackling fire? Perhaps in a chalet in the heart of the Adamello Brenta Natural Park, “lit up” by the colours of the foliage. The Fogajard chalet, a short way from Madonna di Campiglio, offers gourmet cuisine, rooms in Swiss pine finish... and the incomparable beauty of the Brenta Dolomites.

#6

Autumn walks

An Alpine lake among the lush green woods of upper Val di Sole. Lake Caprioli, in the heart of the Adamello Brenta Nature Park, is the ideal destination for a hand-in-hand stroll among the bright colours of the fall foliage. You’re sure to work up an appetite, so don’t miss out on the delicious delicacies served up at the romantic chalet-restaurant by the side of the lake.
