A Wonderful Week in a White Winter Wonderland; Our Stay in Stockinggut…
Have you ever resided in a hotel room that offered a view so alluring that you couldn’t bring yourself to shut the curtains, (even throughout the night), so that every possible moment could be spent soaking up and breathing in such an incredible landscape? This is how we felt at the Stockinggut by Avendia in Leogang. Situated at the base of a wide, tree lined slope, the location of Stockinggut couldn’t be more perfect for both unbelievable panoramic alpine views but also for it’s fantastic ski-in and ski-out facilities. But it doesn’t stop there, no no – the exterior is magical but the interior oozes luxurious chalet chic. The perfect…

Morzgerhof, Salzburg: A Gorgeous Getaway with the Girls (and Guys)…
Looking for the perfect night in? Grab the wine, light the fire and crank up the music…oh and read on for the perfect place to do just this. Shop my hat at Pretty Little Thing. Queue… The Morzgerhof!

It is a beautiful city full of charm and one that holds such compelling history; not only does it house Mozart’s birthplace, but it’s also where the Sound of Music was filmed… (which was my absolute favourite film when I was younger). The Salzach river runs through the city centre, dividing the old city that’s bursting with culture and is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the luxurious new city with beautiful riverside houses. As Salzburg is so close to the Austrian Alps, it’s a perfect opportunity to combine a city and ski break in one,…

The Epitome of Alpine Luxury: Forsthofalm Holzhotel
(Jumper from Pretty Little Thing) Set in the heart of the Austrian Alps and rooted at 1050m high on the cusp of a mountain in Leogang, stands Forsthofalm Timber Hotel. The core essence of this eco-friendly hotel is focused around wood; so naturally, nestled in a forest, it perfectly harmonises with it’s surrounding landscape. Last week for a few days, I resided in Forsthofalm with my best friend and for the duration of our trip we were proudly perched on the constant soaring heights of cloud nine. This was really emphasised by the sublime surroundings that encompassed us; Forsthofalm Holzhotel oozes elegance, alpine luxury and tranquility and much of this is by…
