1. Marvel at the South Tyrolean mountains and indulge in culinary delights
Where is it particularly beautiful in autumn? Of course, in the mountains. When the leaves have turned colorful, the hot temperatures of summer are over and the mystical fog gathers in the valleys in the morning, you are in perfect hands in the mountains. And where is the best place to go on an autumn mountain trip? In our beloved South Tyrol, of course.
Im Culinaria Living Above Dorf Tirol you have a perfect view of autumn and the mountains. And that's not all: as the name of the accommodation suggests, it's all about food.
In 2022, Elisabeth Kofler and her husband Manfred created two exclusive apartments from a former star restaurant. These stylish suites proudly preserve their culinary heritage by not only offering a first-class breakfast, but also, upon request, serving dishes that you can enjoy in complete privacy on their own terrace - with a view of the autumnal mountains, of course.

Thanks to the generous glass fronts and impressive mirror surfaces, the surrounding nature and the majestic mountain panorama are reflected inside the building. This open and clear design conveys a feeling of space and clarity that not only invigorates the senses, but also ensures relaxation and deceleration.
2. Let the summer on Gran Canaria linger a little longer
Not all of us feel like classic autumn weather in autumn. Many people long for a little sun, mild temperatures and a beach, without the crowds of summer. Then it's best to head to Gran Canaria, because here you'll find a warm 25 degrees and a relaxed late summer atmosphere.
The best place to come is on the island Cool Canaria under. The house, which is over a century old, is a lively oasis in the middle of the picturesque village of Agaete. This is by no means a crowded tourist hotspot, on the contrary, this place retains its authentic local color. For those who want to experience the year-round summer climate and diverse nature on the third largest Canary Island and appreciate the warm welcome from locals, it is the perfect place.
And the place also has a lot to offer in terms of landscape: Agaete stretches along the sun-drenched northwest coast of Gran Canaria, nestled between the majestic sea and the sublime mountains. Here, rough rock faces rise steeply into the ocean, while green hills tower picturesquely behind the house.
The hosts of Cool Canaria, Beata and her husband, have created a holiday home that can accommodate up to nine adults and two children and is a prime example of the typical Canarian architectural style - whitewashed facades, characteristic wooden ceilings and stylish stone floors colorful shutters can be added. People like to spend a few rather unusual (weather-wise) autumn days here.
3. Find the perfect combination of city and greenery in Munich

The building in which the seven apartments are located is a lovingly restored replica of the original house. The main facade of the building is the original from a century ago and once stood as a magnificent property in the maritime district of Valencia, which served the bourgeoisie at the time.
Both the common area and the individual residential units are furnished with valuable antiques and authentic art. These include a well-stocked library with rare books, fragments of the artistically painted ceiling emblazoned on the walls, a hand-painted canvas that is over a hundred years old, the city's patron saint made of ceramic on the inner courtyard wall and a wooden bench from an old church.
