Holiday getaway at Tuffbad
Just relax
and chill – doesn’t that sound great? That’s exactly what my boyfriend and I
did last week.
Far away
from all hustle and bustle in the middle of the Tyrolean and Carinthian Alpine
nature there is a family-run spa resort called 1. Almwellness-Resort Tuffbad. Only surrounded by small chalets and beautiful scenery, perched on a
mountaintop overlooking the magnificent Dolomites. It is the perfect place to
escape the daily routine. We couldn’t think of a better place to spend the last
4 days of our winter holiday.
As soon as
we arrived we felt like home. The hoteliers Eva-Maria und Egon Oberluggauer
welcomed us very warmly. After we tried the very delicious “Tuffbad” aperitif
with regional mountain cranberries in the lounge area, we checked into our
room.
Shall we
Chalet? Yes, please!
Rustic, traditional
designs and luxury combined in one. Every room, suit and chalet impress with
its own unique character. What I loved most about our room was the alpine style
designed furniture and the Swiss pine canopy bed. I slept so well and was just
happy when I woke up. Well maybe it was the amazing breakfast buffet too that
made my mornings so easy.
Vitamin boost
At the
breakfast buffet you find everything your appetite desires. From freshly cooked
scrambled eggs, omelets to a great variety of seasonal and regional veggies, fruits,
cheese, bread, yoghurt, cereal, homemade jam, honey and freshly squeezed juice
etc.
“A smoothie
a day keeps the doctor away!”
Another
breakfast highlight is the yummy smoothie in the morning. We liked the vitamin
shot so much that we asked for another glass and got an even bigger second one.
Culinary
delicacies
Every
morning we received a morning newspaper and the four-course menu for the
evening. My boyfriend laughed at me and asked: “I guess you postpone your New
Year’s resolution for a few days?”
Yes for
sure! The dinner course choices were too delicious to skip. Enjoying regional
organic whole foods prepared with lots of love and know how is better than
sticking to “a not eating dinner” diet. At our last day the hotelier surprised us
with a special romantic candle light dinner in the unique dining chalet.
“Everything
is possible – nothing is mandatory”
The hotel
stay was all-around wonderful. There were a lot of highlights but it was a very
special one that set the Tuffbad apart from all the other wellness hotels: The
warm-hearted hospitality!
The kindness
and the politeness of both the hoteliers and the staff were amazing. All the
people we have met there had their own great personality. Everyone who served
us was very warm-hearted and friendly. Have you ever played cards with the
barkeepers? Well, we did!
Cocktail hours
Gin tonic,
good chats and lots of laughs made our evenings at the hotel bar memorable.
Writing those lines, I remember our first afternoon at the spa. We were talking
to one of the other guests in the pool and he told us that he and his wife are
coming here twice a year because they are so happy about the hospitality.
We have been
to many different Spa resorts and usually the staff is nice but the authentic
and down-to-earth treatment at Tuffbad is outstanding.
Dreaming of
a relaxing and feel-good getaway in the heart of the mountains? Then this is
the place to go. Visit and enjoy yourself! At Tuffbad you can expect to get
pampered throughout the whole day.
We will
definitely come back to explore the summer in the Alps. Thanks family Oberluggauer and the whole team for those wonderful relaxing days. See you soon.
