Wellness with a view and 100% organic enjoyment in Styria Nestled in the Pöllauer Valley Nature Park lies the RETTER Organic Nature Resort. The insider tip for health-conscious connoisseurs and nature lovers. Moderate hiking trails around the nature park hotel lead past wine taverns, viewpoints, and right through the organic orchards of the Retter family, which have been certified organic for more than 30 years. Every day, skilled hands in the adjacent RETTER BioGut bake fragrant, fresh bread and pastries, where the harvested fruits are also refined into fine distillates, jams, and ice cream. The organic shop is a representative delicatessen in East Styria. Cozy nature park rooms with modern ceiling cooling, extra-long herbal beds, and much attention to detail make your vacation a time of absolute relaxation. In the wellness area of the BIO | ORGANIC | SPA over 3200 m² with well-tempered outdoor pools, indoor whirlpool & natural swimming pond, massage and cosmetics, highly trained therapists pamper guests with pleasant treatments from Dr. Joseph, Maria, and Sandicca. A diverse program including yoga, Pilates, and guided hikes complements the active vacation in East Styria. GenussCard included! TIP: Bread baking courses at RETTER BioGut. Learn to make delicious rye bread from sourdough yourself and let your soul dangle with a RETTER Quittini on the panoramic terrace.
