by Martin Nicholas Kunz

Whether it is the small five-room house or the renowned grand hotel, the overall criteria for this top selection is the recognizable philosophy of consistency in architecture and design where love of detail is balanced with exquisite service. In this context wellness does not only mean a sauna, steam bath or massage, it means a feeling of comfort and inspiration everywhere. This new journey transports the reader from the high northern landscapes of Iceland, through Scandinavia, Germany, the Benelux countries, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Greece, Cyprus and Turkey to Spain and finally Portugal.
