Winner of Conde Nast Traveller Reader's Awards 2010 for best hotel spa in Europe.

Our Relais & Chateaux hotel is situated in the Northern Italian province of Bolzano in the small village of San Cassiano, 5000 ft above sea level, surrounded on all sides by Dolomite peaks. The majestic setting combined with luxurious accommodation, spa and pool makes for the perfect in:spa destination. The weather for our summer retreats will be warm and sunny, with cooler evenings.

The property is exceptionally well appointed, located in the heart of some of the most exhilarating and breathtaking scenery in the world. There are miles of walking, jogging and hiking trails in every direction. As you would expect from a Relais & Chateaux hotel, the bedrooms are all spacious, extremely comfortable and beautifully decorated, and most have incredible views of the surrounding mountains.

For your trip to the Italian Dolomites, in:spa has drawn together a dream team of nutritionists, chefs, yoga teachers, hiking guides and personal trainers to ensure maximum benefits, such as weight-loss, improved fitness, stress relief and a heightened sense of wellbeing. Every day will be inspiring and unique, but to get an idea of how a day may be structured, read on.

This day starts with a delicious, fresh, cleansing juice and the option of either a yoga class or a run through the valley as the sun rises behind the mountains. By breakfast time you will be feeling energised and ready for fresh fruit, home made muesli, scrambled eggs and freshly squeezed juices. An excellent kick-start for your health and fitness plans. We then head out for a morning of hiking in the Dolomites with our expert guides, experiencing the exhilaration of the climb and the stunning scenery. These activities will invigorate your body and stimulate your metabolism and are tailored to all levels of fitness so everyone can join in at their own pace.

After a light, fresh lunch, the afternoons are varied and, depending on the day and your personal in:spa programme, may include small group yoga instruction, personal fitness training or nutritional consultations. In addition, a regular massage will help to relax, restore and prepare you for the week's activities. There will also be time to soak up the sun in the gardens, take a dip in the swimming pool or explore the village.

The day winds down in the smart, comfortable drawing room and dinners are a showcase of gourmet cleansing cuisine. Dress is relaxed and informal.
