5 Best Hotels for a Digital Detox: Treat yourself to a digital-free vacation and finally relax

Where you can experience holidays without digital devices? From a monastery in the remote Italian countryside to a wooden tree house in the Loire Valley, these are the perfect accommodations for a vacation without a phone. We all spend too much time staring at the screens of mobile devices. According to some data from the Unplugged platform, more than half of Britons spend as much as 11 hours a day in front of a screen. The data for other countries is probably not much better. That's why it's time to digital detox.

Unplugged, UK

The Unplugged platform lets you rent her accommodations, remote log cabins where guests are encouraged to turn off their devices. Including mobile phones. They put them in a box for 72 hours. It is this step that is said to be crucial for improving well-being and better sleep. In case of emergencies, you will receive an old Nokia, as well as a map and some fun gadgets to pass the time without your phone. All cabins boast a fully equipped kitchen and hot shower, as well as a fireplace perfect for spending evenings by the fire.

Loire Valley Lodges, France

Each has its own jacuzzi and a terrace where you can relax. In them you will search in vain for WiFi or TV, so they are equipped with radios and an iPad with a preloaded playlist.

Eremito Hotelito Del Alma, Parrano, Italy

Half board also includes a vegetarian four-course lunch and a monk-inspired candlelit dinner.
