www.privateairny.com Private Air | Fall 2020 92 Hotel Rangá Iceland www.hotelranga.is Stars who've stayed here: Justin Bieber and The Kardashians Set in the secluded countryside of the South Coast of Iceland (a vast land with more horses than people), the boutique Hotel Rangá is a lux and rustic oasis ideal for travelers looking to go off-grid. For an even more exclusive experience, guests can book the entire lodge to themselves. A celeb hot spot nestled in a region known as the country's adventure capital, Hotel Ranga is a central home base for accessing a myriad of nearby natural wonders from highlands and volcanoes to hot springs and caves. After a day of exploring the surrounding black sand beaches, countless waterfalls, and awe-inspiring glaciers, there's no place better to relax than in the hotel's comfortable and cozy accommodations, including eight suites, seven of which are continent-themed providing guests the unique opportunity to see the world in a week. Situated under clear dark skies, Hotel Rangá is also the best place to see the famous Northern Lights (complete with wake up calls) when in season. Perfect for small weddings, special occasions, incentive trips, reunions, and more, a private takeover at Hotel Ranga is both an ultimate and intimate retreat for uncovering the remote beauty of Iceland. A complete buyout includes access to all 52 rooms, daily breakfast, and exclusive use of all of the property facilities, including Restaurant Rangá, the lounge areas, a gaming room, as well as three geo-thermal heated outdoor hot tubs and the hotel's own hi- tech, roll-off roof observatory which is available for private star gazing sessions alongside a resident astronomer on clear nights upon availability. The minimum price for an exclusive buyout is €25,000, including taxes, however it is subject to negotiation and availability. Additional meals and drinks are also available for an additional cost. Advance reservations are required and are recommended six months to a year out. Il Salviatino Fiesole, Italy www.salviatino.com Stars who've stayed here: Ed Sheeran, Dalai Lama and Guns & Roses You know you're doing it right when you have made yourself at home among the rolling Tuscan hills in a hand-restored, 15th century villa just 15 minutes outside of Florence's city center. With original frescoes, lush organic gardens (from where seasonal herbs and vegetables make their way to La Terrazza), and a vast, yet cozy terrace with beyond belief views of Florence and its famed Duomo, pure class and relaxed Italian luxury live here. Il Salviatino is known for its prime location among the Tuscan pines, superb approach hospitality and unique experiences (think an off-roading tour through the vineyard of Chianti) -- and now the coveted 43-room retreat is available for full buyouts. Rates start at €25,000 per night + 10% VAT for minimum two-night stays. 5 5. 6 6.
