If you’ve read any of my articles or follow me on Instagram you’ll know that Susanne Kaufmann is one of my absolute favourite beauty brands. I love her botanical-based products and all-natural approach to beauty, so it’s no surprise that her spa in Austria is top of my list for spa destinations in Europe! Located in Kaufmann’s hotel, the Hotel Post Bezau, the treatments on offer in the award-winning spa combine old and new therapeutic techniques and are tailored to every individual’s needs.
