Isn’t it such a joy when you strike a nice toilet 🙂

Indeed, and even more so on a mountain. When a mountain’top retreat has a better bathroom than a restaurant in Rome….

Whoa, that is an impressive bathroom! I always run the other direction when I come across those “turkish” bathrooms too, so horrible. They also seem to pop up in places you wouldn’t expect (clean looking cafes by the lake, etc.), and I have seen them both in the north and the south. Alto Adige is definitely a world apart from the rest of Italy!

Hi Rachel! Welcome to the blog. The Alto Adige is liking leaving Italy, in many ways, but you still get good coffee, Italian cuisine, and they’ll speak Italian if you do!

Amazingly beautiful for a lue! I too have very few positive comments about the restrooms in Italy and Spain.

In this part of the country, spic-and-span is the rule. We’ve been in one in 28 days that was not perfect, and it was not bad. The Emilio Comici one is over the top, of course. I think I will start taking more pictures of loos in my travels. Could be good blog fodder.

The first place I ever came across automatic water faucets was in Italy. I was so impressed that I made my husband go see them. I love the Dyson driers, but I haven’t seen that type however. That would be very convenient.

Amazingly all the water ends up in the sink with no splashing or dripping because you do not have to cross the room to semi-dry your hands. I want these at my house!

These restrooms are really cool! We have those Dyson hand dryers at some places in Helsinki, at first it was a bit puzzling to figure them out 😉

I know! The first time I used the sink the dryer came on first because I could not figure out where to put my hands. I wonder if the make them for residential use?

That’s pretty fancy… must be nice to have sufficient cash flow to go so far over the top!!
That said, I’d give them a go…..

Hahaha! I think Audi sponsored a lot. The skier and a fancy charging station are branded Audi. As with any mountain station, it ain’t cheap. 1.50 Euro for coffee.

What a luxury to have such beautiful public restrooms. I am sure have had your share of experiences where you absolutely HAD to go until you took a look at the toilette, and then, funniest thing, you could hold it a while longer. Thanks for sharing this info on things we usually don’t talk about. Love the wings over the sink.

The Dyson “wing” dryers are amazing. I want them at home. A little potty talk is OK now-and-again. Baci!

I’m totally in awe of those bathrooms especially with the red or blue lighted handles saying it’s occupied or the ones with the built in hand dryers. And to find a wonderful bathroom at such an altitude….you both just know what to look for in elegance!

Mostly we just get lucky, Marcia! I’ve been in that place 4 or 5 times and yesterday I said I have to do a photo essay on it.
