SEEHOF Nature Retreeat is a A Mountain Spa and Quiet Retreat by the Lake, Overlooking the South Tyrolean Alps

Seehof Nature Retreat is a sanctuary of tranquility in the Eisack Valley in the South Tyrolean mountains. Surrounded by forests, apple plantations, a serene natural lake, and an impressive alpine landscape, this retreat offers a space where architecture, nature, and well-being seamlessly blend. It is a place designed for those who seek peace and deep relaxation in an intimate setting.

The 45 suites are crafted with natural materials such as wood, copper, and stone. With clean lines and a minimalist approach, the interiors exude a sense of calm. Floor-to-ceiling windows invite nature inside, while private balconies and terraces offer uninterrupted views of the lake and the surrounding mountains. The lake is the heart of the retreat, a mirror of stillness. Around it, vast gardens extend, framed by pine trees and apple orchards. The day begins with birdsong and the gentle shimmer of the water.

The spa, La Primavera, is a haven of relaxation. The Finnish sauna opens directly onto the natural lake, inviting guests to cool off in its refreshing waters. A Roman steam bath, a bio sauna, and heated indoor and outdoor pools add to the sense of well-being. Treatments focus on the power of nature, using products from the South Tyrolean natural skincare brand VITALIS Dr. Joseph, enriched with plant extracts and alpine essences. Yoga and meditation sessions on the terrace or by the lake deepen the connection with nature.

The culinary experience at Seehof Nature Retreat is a journey through the seasons, celebrating local and regional ingredients. The menu blends Mediterranean flavors with alpine traditions, offering homemade pasta, freshly caught fish, and herbs from the retreat’s own garden. Breakfast is a feast of homemade bread, organic eggs from nearby farms, and fruit from South Tyrol’s orchards. In the afternoon, homemade cakes are served, while the evening brings a multi-course gourmet menu.

From the retreat, hiking trails lead through the South Tyrolean mountains, passing traditional alpine huts. In winter, the nearby ski resorts offer deep snow descents and scenic winter hikes. Whether unwinding in the spa, enjoying breakfast with a view of the lake, or walking through the surrounding forests, Seehof Nature Retreat is a place devoted to the art of letting go.
