Mühlwald, Italy
Map
Rooms built inside the mountain, not attached to it. A spa with a cave-like atmosphere, a restaurant in natural rock caverns, and herbs from the hotel’s own garden. The first cave hotel in the Alps, at 1,400 m. If you’re looking for cave architecture, you’ll find it here. If you’re expecting traditional rooms, you’re in for a surprise.
