HOME AWAY FROM HOME: TRENTINO’S FINEST MOUNTAIN HIDEAWAYS FOR DIGITAL NOMADS

London, United Kingdom, 4th February 2021 - The increasing trend in remote work is providing the option for keen travellers to work from any desk in the world and Trentino in northern Italy is a prime destination for a ‘workation’. Since the region is home to almost 300 lakes, dramatic Dolomites walking routes, world-renowned wines, soothing spas and an abundance of work-ready private spaces, Trentino is the ultimate stop for digital nomads to balance work productivity with some of Italy’s famous ‘la dolce vita’.

Tristan Kennedy, travel journalist and editor of Snow Magazine and Active Traveller, has been working remotely in Trentino since last February. He says, “Never mind Bali or the beaches of Thailand, if you want to work remotely, Trentino is one of the best places in the world. The mountains are simply stunning, whatever the season, the welcome is always warm, and as for the food and wine... well, they're world class - this is Italy, after all! My partner and I get to go ski touring in the mornings before sitting down to a day's work. I still have to pinch myself that this kind of lifestyle is actually possible.”

Discover four of Trentino’s finest workation spaces:

Maso Stella, Valsugana

A true mountain hideaway for ultimate immersion in the mountain landscape

In a wild and remote part of Valsugana is Maso Stella, the beautiful mountain hut formed of two independent apartments - Ursa Major and Ursa Minor. Both apartments are made of natural wood and restored stone, with roaring open fires, well-equipped kitchens and panoramic views over the mountain valleys and lakes. Remote workers can switch off with miles of mountain walks, and routes that circumnavigate the crystal-clear waters of nearby Lake Levico and Lake Caldonazzo. After exploring Italy’s great outdoors, guests can cosy up in Maso Stella’s private spa with an Alpine wood sauna, hydrotherapy shower, heated wood lounger and candle-lit relaxation space. There are plenty of comfortable, daylight-flooded desk spaces to use, and guests at either of Maso Stella’s apartments will have full wi-fi access, and a printer and copier upon request. There are a handful of mountain hut restaurants and pizzerias nearby, some of which even deliver authentic mountain cuisine to Maso Stella’s doorstep. www.masostella.it
