The Rote Wand cookbook blends mountain flavors with a taste of the future

Anthologist candle in Hellenistic glass, topped with a brass Athens lid
Alpine flavors are being reinvented at 1,500 meters. From wild herbs and forest treasures to garden fruits, this award-winning cookbook turns the mountains’ bounty into extraordinary dishes, blending ancient craft, modern technique, and the magic of guest chefs. Available in German only.
Sensual, rich, and exotic, this hand-blown Greek glass candle blends amber, jasmine, leather, and sandalwood. Evoking sunlit Cycladic beaches or fireside evenings with red wine, it’s a timeless fragrance that works from summer to winter.
Out now, our newest Design Hotels Book is organized by atmosphere rather than location—from poetic retreats rooted in nature to city sanctuaries shaped for curiosity—it invites you to traverse environments that linger long after check‑out. Ready to explore?

A Kind of Guise scarf in the light, summery colors of Villa Arnica

Tortue’s pre-mixed cocktails deliver the goodness of its bars in every bottle

A trio of bar-crafted classics, bottled straight from Tortue’s mixology team. The Negroni offers a French twist on the Italian original; Le Pont leans fruity and summery with an easy sweetness; and the Espresso Martini delivers that smooth, velvety kick of coffee and spice.
A simple, timeless accent that brings a festive touch of warmth to your sofa or bed. Its gentle form and neutral metallic tone make it an easy match for many interiors.
This lightweight cotton scarf, inspired by the elegant colors of Villa Arnica, offers a gentle layer of comfort against the soft summer breeze. Woven in Italy, it combines soft texture with subtle craftsmanship for effortless, timeless style.

Cold-extracted extra virgin olive oil made from Leccino, Moraiolo, Frantoio, Pendolino, and local Lago Trasimeno olives

Handmade in India with Studio Bagru, this cozy coverall robe was designed specifically for Ulysses

Ash World Lotion carries warm, comforting scents and a silky, nourishing touch
Sourced from Rastrello’s own ancient olive grove in Umbria, this celebrated extra-virgin olive oil comes from hand-harvested, centuries-old trees. Cold-pressed to preserve its character, the blend offers grassy freshness, gentle bitterness, and a peppery finish.
A lotion that carries hints of distant places and memory (damask rose, nutmeg, carrot seed, amber spice)—paired with the Ulysses robe for serene, quiet nights. Together they turn the routine of night into a ritual: skin soothed, body relaxed, and ready for sleep.
