The peaks of the Val Venosta mountains, the rows of apple orchards winding along the slopes surrounding the hotel, the energy of Monte Sole towering behind us and the soft, cool woods of Monte Tramontana stretching out before us, the Mediterranean flavour of the palm trees surrounding the pool and silhouetted against the clear blue sky, and the authentic traditions of South Tyrol that permeate every corner of the property.
Everything at Preidlhof brings us back to the duality of hedonic and eudaimonic well-being, the core of the Preidlhof Spa's wellness concept: passion, joy, and happiness intertwine with self-realization, vocation, and the search for an authentic purpose, promoting a process of growth that is as spontaneous as it is powerful. The protagonists of this process are people: passionate therapists, refined guides, and professionals able of providing authentic care. Like Anna Maria and Aurora, two different and complementary souls who perfectly embody the essence of The Preidlhof Way.
Anna Maria has been part of the Preidlhof team for many years and is a reliable and highly experienced therapist. She skilfully delivers relaxing treatments and therapeutic massages, combining her refined manual skills with the ability to pass on her wisdom.
A precise and passionate professional who, in recent years, has also dedicated herself to training new team members and actively contributing to the development and oversight of protocols and quality standards. Anna Maria finds great satisfaction in supporting people feel better, and she does so with great care and deep commitment, whether through Foot Reflexology, targeted stimulation of points on the foot to rebalance organs and bodily functions, or with an exclusive Preidl Harmony massage, a relaxing, rhythmic, and rebalancing massage promoting body-mind harmony, or with a Total Massage, a complete from head to toe relaxing massage to release tension and promote overall well-being.
Affectionately nicknamed “Mrs. Engel” or “Lady from Garda Lake” she brings order, structure, and even a touch of rigor to the Preidlhof Spa, always adding her personal touch and a thorough eye to every detail.
Anna Maria's focused dedication and structured organization blend perfectly with Aurora's enthusiasm and spontaneous joy. A passionate therapist, she offers a range of wellness experiences, from relaxing massages to sensory treatments for face and body. She leads active wellness classes, which are true workshops for personal growth: Face Yoga, with its daily facial exercises to stimulate facial muscle tone, becomes a conscious anti-aging routine; Laughter Yoga is a playful invitation to inner freedom—an opportunity to free the breath, elevate energy and vibrational frequency, and release both emotional and muscular tension; and the Chocolate Class is a sensory journey that reawakens the forgotten pleasure of taste.
Aurora also shares her energy in promoting treatments, products, and retreats, working in synergy with the spa reception team.
Affectionately nicknamed “Sugar Baby” by her colleagues, she is sometimes found lost in daydreams among the “purple clouds,” immersed in her thoughts—yet always able to win over those around her with her spontaneity and charm.
She loves working in a peaceful and engaging atmosphere, where every gesture and every word can contribute to creating almost sacred spaces. She is an expert in Island Massage, a massage inspired by Hawaiian Lomi Lomi, enveloping and fluid, performed with tropical oils, Cloud Massage, which, performed on a heated water bed, combines lightness and deep relaxation, and Sound & Quartz, a vibrational treatment with Tibetan bells and a quartz crystal bed, for deep relaxation and energy rebalancing. She is now deepening her study of Restorative Yoga, a practice that will soon be an integral part of Preidlhof's transformational wellness retreats.
It is above all thanks to the people who bring it to life that the Preidlhof Spa becomes a true stage for integrated wellness: aesthetic, emotional, and sensory. A place where care takes shape in expert hands, sincere passion, and the joy of sharing. A truly complete wellness experience arises from the balance between immediate pleasure and profound meaning. Hedonic wellness manifests itself in moments of pure relaxation, sensory awakening, gratification, and the pleasure of letting go. Eudaimonic wellness accompanies us on an inner journey: it is growth, authenticity, and discovery of one's centre. Combining these two aspects means offering much more than a treatment: it means providing a space where one can return to feeling truly and fully oneself. This is the true art of wellness at Preidlhof.
