Adler : From mountain hostel to Alpine empire
In 1810, Josef Anton Sanoner acquired an auberge in Ortisei, a picturesque village in the Val Gardena valley, nestled in the heart of the Italian Dolomites.

Celebrate the Redentore in Venice
Every year in Venice, the month of July brings with it an emblematic celebration : the Redentore.
This celebration has its origins in the 16th century, marked by a terrible epidemy of pests that devastated the city.

When the pestilence began to recede, the Church of the Redentore was raised on the island of Giudecca as a sign of gratitude and devotion.

The historic jewel that survived Lisbon's earthquake
In the heart of Lisbon, between the historic districts of Chiado, Bairro Alto and Príncipe Real, stands the majestic Palácio Ludovice. Built in the early 1700s, this emblematic building was the private residence of João Federico Ludovice, the architect of King João V, and has now been transformed into a luxury hotel. But this XVIII century palace is much more than a boutique hotel ; it's above all a living testimony to Lisbon's turbulent history.
