E LE FERIE SONO FINITE!! AND MY VACATION IS OVER!!

Carissime Bloggherine,
finalmente mi faccio viva, al ritorno dalle mie piovosissime vacanza in Alto Adige. Tempo orribile, pioggia e temporali tutti i giorni, temperature tipicamente autunnali...che dire? E' stata comunque una piacevole vacanza con tutta la famiglia in questo hotelnel tipico stile dell'alto adige dove andiamo ormai da otto anni.
Ho pensato di condividere con voi qualche pezzo di arredamento nel tipico stile della zona e niente di meglio delle cassapanche, tanto per iniziare. Che ne dite?

My dear Bloggherettes,
my rainy vacation in South Tyrol is over. The weather was awful all the time - rain, thunderstorms every day, and cooler temperatures more typical of fall rather than summer. but at least I had my holiday in this lovely, homey little hotel we've been staying at for eight years now and given the weather I could finally relax among all the comforts one could expect and imagine after a year of hard work both at the office and at home.
Didn't take many snapshots of the places we've visited as you can easily imagine that after eight years we know the area nearly by heart, but thought I could share some pics of the typical local decor, which is among my faves.

Why not start with those stunning hope linen chests scattered all over the hotel? What do ya think gals?

A little cute corner...

A typical armoire painted in the Bauernmalerei technique. I'd die to have one like this at home, wouldn't you?

and here's another cute little alcove... in South Tyrol there's an orchid pot near every window
*oil, rice, vinegar*: aren't these just darling?
And now a peak of the Stube... the coziest and comfiest place in a Tyroler house. The stube is all covered by oak wood inside and out to retain the heat of the stove during the cold winters. The stube is the place where the family gets together. Some sort of living room I've been told.

Beh ragazze per ora tutto qui... vista l'ora mi preparo per le nanne. Baci

Well it's all for now girls... given the time I better be off to beddy-byes.
Hugs
Rita

  2. Dear Rita,
    Oh I have missed your posts. I thought you must have been on holiday. You should find an email waiting for you, but no worries till you get settled in again.
    It sounds like you had a nice time, in spite of the rain. Sometimes we just need a little rest time. Thanks for the tour!
    Happy SUnday,
    Mimi

  7. Oh Rita, look at how many pretty chests they have there in that hotel! Just beautiful! I loved seeing all the lovely things this hotel had to offer. I found the stube so lovely and interesting. I can imagine how enjoyable it must have been to spend your days here relaxing. So nice to see the orchids in the window. I love them so.
    Thank you dear heart for your lovey words you left me. They filled me with joy.
    Love to you,
