Your perfect Health Retreat for a life changing experience and genuine new beginnings

OXFORD Mail: Relais & Châteaux Rosengarten

2012-02-02T17:13:44Z

‘Something for the weekend…

JON MURRAY kicks back and laps up the high-quality cuisine at a ski resort that is a perfect place to spend special occasions

IMAGINE a holiday where every meal you have is up to Le Manoir Aux Quat’Saisons standards – or better.

Imagine the accommodation, health facilities and hospitality are of a standard to match.

That is what you can expect if you stay at Hotel Restaurant Spa Rosengarten in Austria.

Located in the picturesque Tirolean village of Kirchberg, just seven kilometres from Kitzbühel, Rosengarten is a destination in itself, surrounded by beauty.

It is one that will appeal both to skiers and summer visitors, and to anyone with a love of sublime food, because everything at Rosengarten revolves around cuisine.

Chef-proprietor Simon Taxacher’s meteoric rise to culinary stellar stardom is making him as famous in Austria as Heston Blumenthal is here.

Awarded two Michelin stars at the age of 33, the only restaurant in Tirol ever to achieve this distinction, Taxacher’s fast lane to success has brought him national and international accolades.

This year Restaurant Rosengarten earned three Gault Millau toques and when I was there late last year he was being feted by Relais & Châteaux, who were warmly welcoming his hotel into their exclusive family. Relais & Châteaux also presented him with a plaque marking him as one of their Grand Chefs, an honour bestowed on an elite few culinary masters worldwide – among them are legendary names such as Michel Troisgras and Michel Rostang in France, Michel Roux jr (Le Gavroche), Heston Blumenthal (The Fat Duck) and Raymond Blanc (Le Manoir Aux Quat’Saisons) in the UK, and Annie Feolde in Italy.

However, my own holiday travel began and ended badly, though through no-one’s fault.

Bad weather conditions meant the flight into Innsbruck diverted to Munich, while back in Britain on the return home, an accident caused the M4 to be closed for five hours.

But the time in between, in Austria, was memorable. Dinner on the first night was taken in Rosengarten’s Bistro Light restaurant and began with a carpaccio of beef then a pumpkin soup that was sensational. Yet even these culinary masterpieces were overshadowed by the following night’s dinner in the main Restaurant Rosengarten.

Each of the seven courses was a homage to perfection and individuality, reflecting Taxacher’s lightness of touch and his sense for fascinating combinations.

Whether it was the marinated goose liver with gianduja dark chocolate, melt-in-the-mouth turbot with black garlic, or the saddle of venison accompanied by Jerusalem artichoke and olive dust, the flavours were delicious.

It is a loving attention to detail, as seen throughout the hotel, that makes Rosengarten stand out. The contemporary rooms are stylish, the ambience in the bars and restaurants relaxed.

And in the kitchen, Taxacher pays great attention to exclusively sourced ingredients for innovative French-Mediterranean cuisine.

The village itself has much to commend it. From here you can ski into Kitzbühel, and enjoy 180km of inter-connecting slopes.

I’ve heard Kirchberg described as Kitbühel’s little brother. Rosengarten, its top hotel and restaurant, is a little gem.

And while it’s not cheap, it’s not exclusively wealthy either (£160 for a basic room isn’t that much more than you’d pay for a decent B&B in Dorset). Rather, somewhere to book for that special anniversary, that milestone birthday, or just to impress that new love in your life.’

The Rosengarten is situated in the exclusive village of Kirchberg, virtually adjacent to Kitzbühel and in conveniently close proximity for the most important ski lifts of the region.

Pädaste Manor hosts bentley iconic cars

2011-06-22T12:33:12Z

Pädaste Manor was chosen to be integral part of the ‘Bentley Grand Tour‘ through parts of New Europe which took place from 6 to 11 June, giving 16 journalists from all over the world the opportunity to experience super luxury in every sense. Following Bentley lifestyle drives in key target markets such as San Francisco, Shanghai, Muscat and Beirut, the UK based head-office decided to use the picturesque Baltic summer as a backdrop for their tour from Riga to Tallinn via Muhu Island.

Two groups of global journalists visited Muhu Island, having travelled from the US, Russia, Asia and all over Europe – all of them specialising in matters of luxury motoring and related lifestyle. Although they had been briefed to expect an absolute pristine and romantic Island with wild orchids, ancient Juniper forests, fishing villages medieval churches, they were nevertheless absolutely enchanted and completely surprised by the distinctive beauty of the island and the luxury and standards of Pädaste Manor with its unique ambiance and exceptional restaurant. Guests could enjoy cocktails overlooking the Baltic Sea prior to a sumptuous dinner at Alexander Restaurant, where Chef Peeter Pihel exceeded all expectations with his signature Nordic Islands’ Cuisine. Chef Pihel holds the title Estonia’s Chef of the year and Alexander restaurant has just been named Best Restaurant in Estonia for the second consecutive year.

“Padaste Manor made a splendid stop en route for our global media drive in the Baltics. The drive from Riga to Tallinn and back was a first for Bentley, with two groups of lifestyle media who were enchanted by Padaste’s setting, and its mixture of magical calm, luxurious simplicity and warm hospitality. Like Bentley, Padaste is simply one of a kind. The sense of personal attention is paramount in both. We both share a passion for perfection, discreet refinement, and individual experience. During our stay at Padaste we experienced the best of the Baltics where time really does stand still ” said Christine Gaskell, Board member for personnel, Bentley Motors.

Before leaving Muhu, guests had the option to visit Island highlights or alternatively enjoy a couple of hours in the fabulous Pädaste Spa, where the signature treatments are based on local, fresh and organic products and working to ancient Island recipes. The journalists left Pädaste Manor and Muhu Island late morning in the fleet of spectacular Bentleys made up of Continental Flying Spur, Continental Flying Spur Speed and the new Continental GT.

Alpine golf meets olympia world

2011-06-22T12:29:15Z

Enjoyment included & feel good factor guaranteed for the 2011 golf season

Situated on a sun favoured high plateau above the rooftops of Innsbruck and with breathtaking panoramas of the surrounding mountain world, the Sporthotel IGLS welcomes its guests with time honoured Tyrolean hospitality, a contemporary attitude, varied cuisine and holistic health services. Whether suffering from stress, longing for relaxation or merely seeking pure enjoyment, this is the place. It is more than just coincidence that the Sporthotel IGLS also offers ideal conditions and a memorable setting on the Greens.

For High Flyers of Golf
We are proud to have all three golf courses of the Igls high plateau in the immediate vicinity of the Sporthotel: The hotel’s own Olympia Golf Igls and the nearby Golf Club Innsbruck-Igls with the courses in Rinn and Lans offer enormous space and ample potential for golfing highlights to professionals and beginners alike. The incomparable atmosphere of the courses, set in pristine nature – yet in easy distance to Innsbruck, leaves nothing to be desired even for demanding golfers.

‘Pay and Play’ at the Olympia Golf Igls: golfing amongst friends
‘Pay and Play’ stands for playing golf without paying an entry fee or club membership, a great advantage particularly for beginners – the opportunity to gain experience on the course without financial commitments or membership obligations. The Sporthotel IGLS provides this sensational offer to its clients on its own course, the Olympia Golf. On this spacious driving range the Handicap almost improves by itself. However should you wish to train more intensively, you’ll find a wide range of training options and highly competent Pros at the Golf School ‘Golf Mile’. These ideal conditions are certainly not reserved for newcomers to the game – the Olympic Golf continuously welcomes passionate golfers appreciating the challenging seven par-3 and two par-4 golf courses at the foot of the Olympic mountain Patscherkofel.

9-hole Golf Course Lans – steeped in 70 years of Golf tradition
This 9-hole course at the Golf Course Sperberegg Lans presents itself full of challenges and is an absolute must for advanced players who can prove their skills in the charming park like setting amongst mature pines, deciduous and fruit trees. The course itself appeals with its seemingly easy Fairway and – under normal circumstances – can be played in about 90 minutes. From the newly designed lounge of the modern and comfortable club house much of this wonderful course can be overlooked and observed.

18-hole championship course Rinn
Rinn is an Alpine golf course with a very strong accent on sport. The second nine present themselves in majestic manner, if you can knock off several times with impressive drives for the lower greens. The panoramic view from the northern chain with the Wettersteinmassiv, the Limestone Alps and down to the Wilder Kaiser is a truly unforgettable impression. The competitive challenges of the course together with the stunning scenery are sure to leave a lasting memory on sport golfers. Modern golf carts are of course available at affordable rates.

‘The feel good factor’
A sportive day needs to end with enjoyment, therefore recuperation and deep relaxation are the focus. The Health & Spa concept at the Sporthotel IGLS ranges from equilibrium and detox to sport and invigorating treatments. Personally looked after by our professional Spa team, you are immersed in pure relaxation and bound to regain fresh energy for new challenges. The individual needs of each guest are our highest priority. Our specially tailored Spa arrangements for golfers make the golf experience complete: From signature massages for the much challenged golfer’s back to beauty treatments, baths and massages with high quality natural oils to activity programmes in the jaw dropping natural surroundings.

Healthy enjoyment
At the Sporthotel IGLS enjoyment is in sport and replenishing body, mind and soul. The personal flair of our house, the casual atmosphere and the traditional hospitality are at the base of the holistic well-being advocated by us. The modern interpretation of Tyrolean cuisine with quirky international accents rounds off the multifaceted experience of staying with us, with high quality ingredients sourced locally from organic agriculture, resulting in a distinctive dining experience that can best be enjoyed on the inviting terrace of the hotel’s à la carte restaurants, glorious views of the Patscherkofel included – of course!

The well balanced overall sound composed of harp, harmonica, dulcimer, contrabass and guitar is sure to touch the heart strings and a pure, clean voice is goose pimple inducing. The successful combination of the traditional with a touch of mysticism and a generous pinch of jazz is accompanied by a delicious three course menu.

3 + 3
Austria’s cuisine is authentic, honest and diverse – and so is the KULTurig music. Reason enough to let them shine together in the historic and rustic Petrusstube at the St Peter Stiftskeller: three performances of unforgettable music and lyrical texts are interspersed with a traditional three course menu made from fresh and top quality Austrian produce.

Menu
Buttermilk soup with potato croquettes & cepes
***
Beef-olives from young free grazing bulls served with
nut dumplings & cranberry red cabbage
