Welcome home at Giardino

Welcome to our virtual world. Choosing a career or changing jobs is tricky. Is this the right career path for me? Should I change jobs even though there’s a risk I won’t like it at the new place? And besides, why should I invest so many valuable hours of my life in a company? What kind of added value is this company offering me? What can I learn there and what will the company do for me? Are we even a good match for each other? These are questions and feelings that we ourselves know all too well. That’s why we’ve put together this page to help you figure out whether or not we’re a perfect match. And if you’re already part of the Giardino community, there are plenty of new things for you to discover, too – including the opportunity to rate your experience! Have fun!

An interview with a Giardino employees

Why Giardino?

Teamwork
Whatever we do, we strive to do it exceptionally well – we believe in providing a more personal, more outstanding service, together as a team.

Five stars for the individual
Giardino is luxury for the soul, as we believe in uncompromising relaxation. Uncompromising, because we tailor our services precisely to our guests’ individual needs. Relaxation, because we always find the right balance of experiences for the body and the mind.

Enthusiasm
Our guests love our personality, our professionalism and the pleasure we take in providing exceptional service.

Active relaxation
An afternoon out on the lake, a bike ride into the valley, a scenic jog, a relaxing treatment after a day on the slopes, a session in the pool and award-winning cuisine. This is the modern way to adventure.

Giardino values

Giardino is all about balance. Between relaxation and adventure, luxury and homeliness, everyone finds their own perfect middle ground here. Whether you’re taking some time out to recharge your batteries or jumping into something new: Giardino hotels strike the perfect balance, combining both ends of the scale without compromise.

Non-conforming
Giardino is niche, not mainstream. We understand that modern travellers don’t need conservative concepts. That’s why we break free from star rating conventions and offer a relaxed hotel experience. We’re always coming up with creative ideas for unique experiences to amaze our guests. And we win over even the most sceptical among them with our authentic charm. Character makes all the difference.

Discerning
Giardino is different from other hotels, but always an uncompromising host. Every interaction, every task and every detail of our service is carried out with genuine enthusiasm. We know our trade and we want to ensure that it keeps moving and developing with the times. We’re quite picky in this regard. After all, we will only add something new to our range of services if we can implement it consistently and if it provides real added value for our guests. It’s all or nothing.

Attentive
Giardino takes a mindful and balanced approach. We firmly believe that finding a balance between the mind and body is essential for lasting wellness. That’s why we nurture both in equal measure. We also maintain an attentive attitude towards our environment. Our conduct is always respectful and based on mutual trust. We can only do our best if we work together. For the perfect balance.

Giardino’s identity

Our challenge: to strike our personal balance between all the different possibilities. To discover an ideal middle ground between opposites and simply feel good. We have any number of options to choose from, but that also means we struggle to find a balance.

Surprising
Giardino amazes its guests with its own unique interpretation of luxury. We break away from standards, something that sets us apart from the competition. Our image is different and distinctive. This also means that, compared to our competitors, we sometimes appear rather provocative. We try new things, exceed expectations and inspire our guests with fresh ideas. We are wonderfully unusual.

Charismatic
Giardino is full of self-confidence and charisma. Our Mediterranean roots give us a distinctive personality. We don’t hide behind clichés, but rather present ourselves authentically. We embody the atmosphere of the south, full of vibrant colours, charming details and feel-good stories. This character sets us apart as a memorable and above all, unique brand. As colourful and varied as life itself.

Informal
Giardino likes to keep things casual. We believe that ‘perfection’ does not have to mean ‘formal’. That’s why we cultivate a genuine connection with our guests. We are professional and courteous at all times, but never pretentious. This creates an atmosphere of trust and familiarity – as if you were at home. Sometimes lively, sometimes peaceful, but always balanced. Always laid-back.

Giardino experiences

We’re all in search of the perfect experience. The perfect hotel, the perfect location, the perfect moment. But what does perfect mean to our guests? We’ve put together a few ideas for our guests in the form of our personal upgrades, which are divided into six different categories. But when and where do we apply these six categories? First and foremost, they are applied wherever possible at all guest touchpoints (both online and offline) to ensure a consistent brand experience. We also use them for successful product development – from turndown service to alpine tours – and above all, as a way to categorise our guests based on their interests, for the purpose of targeted promotion.
