4* Hotel Antares / Selva: A pinch of Alpine style, a quick brushing of wellness, a whiff of excellent cuisine: Happiness is made of this! Italian Hospitality, The Magic Of Val Gardena. Hospitality is a natural trait of the Italians, as beauty is a natural trait of the Val Gardena in Alto Adige. Mix these two ingredients and the final result will be the 4-star Hotel Antares in the heart of the Selva di Val Gardena, immersed in the scenery of the Dolomite mountains. Once you have met Selva of Val Gardena and the marvelous atmosphere of Sud Tirolo, you will never want to leave. You will fall under a magic spell made of soft snow in winter. The Hotel Antares & Residence is located at the center of this fairy-tale-like scenery close to shopping, a supermarket, bar, café, ski resorts, churches and bakeries.

MALTA: With 7,000 years of history, the Maltese Islands are steeped in culture and heritage. This historic legacy, unique in the Mediterranean, is reflected in the country’s national architecture and collections. There are so many areas of heritage and culture to be explored – the 16th century masterpiece Grandmasters’ Palace, the “Sacra Infermeria”, which is now a fully equipped conference center, the St. James Centre for Creativity – a superbly restored fortification where contemporary works of art are exhibited against the original rough-textured walls and rediscovered spaces. With these buildings, past and present blend into an enduring and admirable lesson in the art of living.

The arts have always played a large role in Maltese culture and continue to do so with cultural events occurring frequently. The National Museum of Fine Arts - MUZA, housed in the historic Auberge d’Italie, exhibits some magnificent art, ranging from the early Renaissance to modern times. Both established and budding artists are encouraged to display their efforts through publicly-supported programs. There is always an exhibition of some kind running.

Nightlife on the Islands is always bustling - even if the vibrant calendar of events gets leaner during some periods, there are always scores of clubs to visit, excellent wine bars and first-rate restaurants to try. The Maltese Islands have also become a hub for the clubbing scene.
