❄️ First Snow of the Year in Brixen!

As Christmas approaches, I stole a weekend getaway to Bressanone/Brixen—a charming town nestled in the Alps near the Austrian border. 🏔️ Though not a typical tourist hotspot (though packed with ski enthusiasts during Christmas!), it felt like a hidden gem. Even the language shifts here—some areas barely speak Italian! 🇮🇹➡️🇦🇹 I was initially drawn by Xiaohongshu’s raves about My Arbor Hotel, and it did not disappoint! 🏨✨ 🌟 Highlights ❄️ Magical First Snow: Arrived just after the first snowfall—a dream come true for this southern-born snow lover! The landscape instantly felt like a winter wonderland. 🏡 Designer Alpine Retreat: The hotel exceeded expectations! Its exterior features massive "tree branches" supporting the structure, while the interior dazzles with warm wood accents—cozy, modern, and utterly Instagrammable. 🍽️ Foodie Heaven: Breakfast and dinner were delicious and diverse—think local cheeses, freshly baked breads, and hearty Alpine dishes. 🧀🍷 🏊 Snow-Swimming Thrills: The pool connects indoors to outdoors—swimming while snowflakes fall is pure magic! ❄️💦 ⛷️ Ski Opportunities: Ski slopes are nearby, but we skipped due to time constraints. Instead, we explored the quaint town streets and soaked in the festive atmosphere. 🎯 Tips & Vibe Relaxation Focus: This trip was all about unwinding—no rigid schedules, just crisp air, mountain views, and comfort. Design Lovers’ Paradise: Every corner of My Arbor is a photo op—minimalist yet rustic. Winter Magic: If you crave snow, December here is perfection! #Brixen #Alps #WinterTravel #SnowDay #MyArborHotel #EuropeHiddenGems
