You smell autumn before you see it. The air sharpens, the breeze asks you to zip up your jacket, and the light turns clear in a way it never quite manages in August. September and October are the months when Livigno slows down. They are also the months that make the Luxury of Quiet we offer at Hotel Flora feel less...
I am the curious sort of wine lover. The kind who opens a bottle expecting to travel, into the character of a place, and into the work of the men and women who made it. My name is Luca Galli , and I designed the wine tastings at Hotel Flora exactly as I would want to experience them myself: open to people who are not...
My name is Carmen, and I look after the rooms at Hotel Flora. Every day, for many years now, when the guests step out, I step in: I enter the room, and the first thing I do is open the windows.

Taking care of yourself goes deeper: it means choosing to slow down, listening to your body , and giving back what the day has taken away. It is an act of attention—toward yourself. The spa at Hotel Flora...
As Livigno prepares to welcome the Olympic world, under the spotlight reserved for major international events, I would like to tell a lesser-known story.
