Apfelhotel Torgglerhof, which is German for "Apple Hotel," is an Italian mountain retreat for guests who want to relax and unplug in nature.
The hotel, which is located in a region of Northern Italy known as South Tyrol, got its name from the plentiful apple orchards that populate the area. Fittingly, guests can enjoy the fresh fruit during their stay.
It was expanded in May to include 18 new suites, a large restaurant
The spa's entrance, pictured above, was made from a concrete shell that tucks into the landscape, reminiscent of the "Hobbit hole" style found in other resorts and Airbnb rentals in recent years.
The hotel also features an indoor-outdoor infinity pool where guests can swim while enjoying stunning mountain vistas.
The Applesauna was the first part of the hotel's wellness center. It is shaped like the fruit and has a window that overlooks a garden.
The hotel's new suites "blend tradition and modern aesthetics," according to a press release from the project's architecture firm, Network of Architecture.
Guests can book a suite for between $168 (€141) and $176 (€149) per night, according to the hotel's prices at the time of writing.
The ground-floor suites connect to a front terrace and feature hanging outdoor beds suspended by ropes, which offers visitors a serene place to nap.
The hotel's restaurant has spacious pavilions that stretch onto the garden and have canopies that can be heated for colder weather.
The hotel is a 15-minute drive from the closest town, Merano, one of many less-touristy areas in Italy. The town is known for its thermal baths and medieval architecture.
