We have a window of opportunity to fly away next summer as part of a year BIG BIRTHDAY celebrations for my husband and I (60 and 50!) ) We only have 5 days due to another holiday early August and work commitments in the summer holidays during the last week of August. I (we) want it to be something special and different, but not disproportionately expensive as we are taking the children on a special trip in October to tick something else off the bucket list. My initial research seems a little repetitive or places we have been before, extensive travel time etc.

What we ideally want ..
A beautiful, intimate /small hotel , ideally near water with short (ish) transfers, with exceptional food for five days of complete relaxation. An added extra would be a spa, in a superb setting. Something a little different.

Recommendations warmly welcomed.

Sounds like a fab idea - what’s your budget?

Have I understood you’d want to go mid August - if so have you got a temperature in mind?

Bellevue Syrene in Sorrento? No spa but ticks the other boxes

https://hotelvisavis.com/en/ Italian riviera - fly to Genoa or Pisa.
https://www.hlapalma.it/en/sky-bar/ Lake Maggiore - fly to Milan and get the transfer to Stresa.

Both are perfect for a 5 day trip. Lots within walking distance.

Maybe somewhere like the Tennerhof in Austria
