Experience Walking on Water – stay in the luxury of L’Albereta Relais & Chateaux

The Floating Piers – Christo & Jeanne-Claude’s stunning art installation at Lake Iseo in Lombardy, Italy. From June 18 to July 3, 2016, Christo will reimagine Italy’s Lake Iseo. The Floating Piers will consist of 70,000 square meters of shimmering yellow fabric, carried by a modular dock system of 200,000 high-density polyethylene cubes floating on the surface of the water. The avant-garde artist Christo has created some of the most spectacular large-scale artworks of the 20th century. Working with his wife and creative partner, Jeanne-Claude, he wrapped in fabric the Reichstag building in Berlin (1995) and the Pont Neuf bridge in Paris (1985), built a 25-mile fabric fence across Northern California (1975), and strung a huge orange curtain across a Colorado valley (1972). view more details about the project

RGB_TheFloatingPiers_DrawingLarge_2014(1) crop 800x334 From June 18 to July 3, 2016, weather permitting, Italy’s Lake Iseo will be reimagined. 70,000 square meters of shimmering yellow fabric, carried by a modular floating dock system of 200,000 high-density polyethylene cubes, will undulate with the movement of the waves as The Floating Piers rise just above the surface of the water. Visitors will experience this work of art by walking on it from Sulzano to Monte Isola and to the island of San Paolo, which it encircles. The mountains surrounding the lake will offer a bird’s-eye view of The Floating Piers, exposing unnoticed angles and altering perspectives. As the light changes throughout the day, the view of the piers will change too, from deep yellow to shimmering gold to a reddish hue when wet. A 3-kilometer-long walkway will be created as The Floating Piers extend across the water of Lake Iseo. The piers will be 16 meters wide and approximately 50 centimeters high with sloping sides. The fabric will continue along 1.5 kilometers of pedestrian streets in Sulzano and Peschiera Maraglio. Christo_TheFloatingPiers_CollageSmall_2014(4) 800x625 Photo: André Grossmann – © 2014 Christo

Here are bred exquisite chickens and rabbits, while vegetables, aromatic herbs and fruits are produced by the family vegetable garden and picked up every day by the kitchen team. The cuisine of Fabio Abbattista exhibits well-known flavours, exalting them with contemporary technique and combinations.

Spa Espace Chenot

Espace Chenot Health Wellness Spa

“I had always refused to create another Espace anywhere other than in Merano. Until the day when two worlds met – Spazio Chenot and Terra Moretti – where the Albereta hotel is concealed. I was seduced by creativeness, the desire to grow, to perfect, to discover new horizons, yet also by simplicity, by the ability to listen to others that characterises the Morettis. My wife, Dominique, and I decided to create a new way of pampering ourselves, in order to achieve a natural beauty enabling us to rediscover harmony without gimmicks, what gives us light.” – Henri Chenot Espace Chenot Health Wellness SPA at the Albereta is a place of absolute wellbeing, where you can pamper yourself thoroughly, based on a rigorous method rooted in the principles of medicine that can restore the body to its peak mental and physical condition. Espace Chenot is one of Chenot’s only two medical & wellness spas in Italy, with a 30-strong team of highly qualified doctors, therapists, dieticians, osteopaths, beauticians, and of course receptionists and welcoming team. Designed by architect and AD Italia director Ettore Mocchetti, Espace Chenot expresses in its architecture – a balance of full and empty spaces, with light and shade and water games – the same search for harmony that animates his raison d’être. His balance of shapes represents the mental and physical equilibrium that can be achieved here, where you can purify the body and restore forgotten energy and vitality, a regained equilibrium leading naturally to a new and luminous beauty. At Espace Chenot, peace and quiet reign supreme. Everywhere natural light is moulded as if to protect this 2.000 sq. m. space, which is separated into two levels. First comes the reception area, featuring soft shapes and curved lines that invite you to relax and let all the tension ebb away. Next is an area with more decisive lines and volumes that is devoted to medical analysis, with areas for energy tests and diet assessments. Symmetrically opposite reception is the herb tea area, which serves each day a different selection of tisanes with draining and antioxidant properties. Suffused with natural light thanks to a zenith skylight, it extends into the park with treatment booths, allowing complete privacy and direct contact with nature, thereby maximising the effects of the therapy. The ground-floor area, which leads straight out into the park where large contemporary sculptures are arranged, is devoted to water treatments and water fitness. The main feature is a vast pool with counter-current swimming and five different types of hydromassage, and next to it the sauna and Turkish bath and aromatherapy facilities. There is also a spacious gym with latest-generation Technogym equipment and a lovely bow-window overlooking the garden, where a session on the treadmill is equivalent to a run in among the holm oaks and cypresses in the park. Last but not least, right in the heart of this delightful place, is a circular area set aside for hydrotherapy, and phyto-mud and hydrojet treatment. A hidden refuge, a maternal womb, giving new life in this temple of wellbeing and beauty.
