From 20 June every Tuesday evening (until 19 September), after sunset, Arabba becomes a place full of magic and enchantment with the appointment “Lanternando“.
2 Sleep under the stars
At Chalet Mirabell, an exclusive oasis above the roofs of Merano, dreams really are golden! Just stay in the splendid Villa Premium Forest to experience the thrill of sleeping under the stars on the edge of the woods.
In this private residence of over 300 square meters there is also a real exclusive plus. It is the Master Suite, whose bed can be moved to the terrace to sleep under the stars. Just press a button and you’re done: you fall asleep in the silence of the woods and wake up to the song of nightingales.
3 At the cinema under the skies of the Dolomites
At SILENA, the exclusive retreat hotel in Val Pusteria, on the terrace where during the day you sit on the elegant armchairs to sunbathe in total relaxation, in the evening (Thursdays) the appointment is with the cinema “by night”.
Warmed by the fire in the brazier and a light plaid, you can choose your favorite film from a list of classics or docu-films on the mountain. Thanks to the supplied headset, you can choose your own language (Italian, German, English) and thus enjoy the view under a starry sky. In addition to popcorn (free) from the special vending machine.
It is also possible to book a private cinema evening: €170 for two people, with Signature SILENA drink, popcorn and film of your choice.
4 Dine by candlelight
It is a truly exclusive taste experience designed by chef Michele Iaconeta of the Manna Resort, a luxury oasis a few km from Bolzano.
In fact, every Thursday evening in the summer in the Sala Convento the lights are turned off and we dine by candlelight and in the moonlight sitting at the late 19th-century oval table from an ancient Polish convent, with only 24 seats.
A very scenic chef’s table which, between the dining room and the adjacent terrace, allows you to enjoy a refined and original 4-course menu preceded by a delicious amuse bouche with pre-dessert and small pastries at the end. The cost of the dinner is €80 per person, the wine pairing €45.
5 Spas by night
In Tyrol, a stone’s throw from Italy, the AQUA DOME spa are open every day until 11pm and on Fridays until midnight. The night accompanies guests on wellness paths: in the circular outdoor pools, which seem to float in the air, you immerse yourself in the warm water and admire the sky.
The thermal water flows hot from a source located 1865 meters underground, near the spa resort: the primordial strength of this water is the no longer “secret” ingredient of these pools where you literally float in well-being.
6 Kufstein Night Tour
In the splendid Tyrolean region of Kufsteinerland every Thursday evening, at nightfall, you can visit the charming historic center with a guide who accompanies tourists through the medieval alleys by lantern light.
In dim light, the small streets in the center are even more charming. The fortress dominates the city and the night lighting highlights the towers and the ancient walls. During the pleasant walk, the guide explains the history of the street “Römerhofgasse”, the unique architecture of the Town Hall and the geographical features.
7 A dip in the moonlight
In South Tyrol, each of the 5 exclusive luxury chalets of the Purmontes has a private heated outdoor swimming pool. There are no opening hours: you can swim when you want. And the night invites you to immerse yourself in the warm water to contemplate the landscape in night mode.
The bathroom becomes an evocative moment to be savored in the privacy of your own private garden. The swimming pool is the sanctuary of complete relaxation, in an original setting, surrounded by mountains and nature.
8 Admire the stars in San Vigilio di Marebbe
Star Party is the night experience to experience the magic of the mountains having the sensation of touching the stars. On 27 July 2023 at 21 we leave by shuttle towards Passo delle Erbe. At an altitude of 2,000m, in the darkness of the Puez-Odle Nature Park, the mountain reveals its nocturnal secrets.
The stars will seem even closer thanks to the telescopes, positioned in different points, and to the indications of the expert guides. In the background a live concert which, with the soft notes of the piano, will make the experience even more evocative.
9 The charm of Salento nights
A few kilometers from each other, Presicce and Specchia lie between the Salento greenhouses and are commended among the most beautiful and characteristic villages in Italy.
The fascinating night visit of Masseria Fontanelle, led by a professional guide, reveals these small towns in their most original aspect. Between historic houses and peasant courtyards; entering alleys that emerge on unexpected panoramas; in the airy squares, traditional meeting points around the historic churches, experienced by the residents as open-air living rooms; you will find yourself immersed in the sparkling atmosphere of the Salento nights.
10 Valentine’s Day in summer
What’s more romantic than a small whirlpool tub, just right for 2 people, and an equally small cabin with sauna in the garden for exclusive pampering under the stars?
At the Tyrol hotel, this is just one of the many wellness gems: leaving your room with a bathrobe, a bottle of champagne and 2 glasses, and in the silence of the evening, enjoying a warm whirlpool and a sauna with a view of the forest, scrutinizing the starry sky is truly a priceless luxury.
Then, in the company of your sweetheart, it becomes a real summer Valentine’s Day.
