we lln e s s Granbaita Dolomites Selva di Valgardena The mighty frame of the Dolomites, a natural recharge of extraordinary strength, is the backdrop for the Granbaita Dolomites. What the Puntscher-Perathoner family opened in 1961 as a small hotel is today a refined 5- stars property in the heart of Selva di Val Gardena. A vocation for hospitality that has now reached the third generation and that combines the vision of style and design proposed by the recent radical renovation designed by architect Rudolf Perathoner. The sober and enveloping elegance of lines and materials such as wood and stone, the furnishings and the large windows create a continuum with nature. The play of shapes and structures evoke trees and leaves; sinuous forms and a contemporary design give the rooms a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The Savinela SPA (a one-of-a-kind 2,000 m2 wellness program that enhances the active ingredients of the natural elements of the Dolomites), the indoor and outdoor pools and the garden with whirlpool and solarium are ideal for rèmise en forme and relaxation. In addition to various saunas (from pine to hay, up to the Finnish one with a view), the aromatic Turkish bath, the snow shower, an irremissible experience is the salt oasis. Guests can float immersed in incredibly salty water, where plays of light and mirrors allow you to feel weightless and at ease. The family welcome, the attentive service and the excellent cuisine, make the Granbaita Dolomites the ideal place for a relaxing break to discover Val Gardena. Chef Andrea Moccia signs the hotel’s cuisine and the refined Granbaita Gourmet Restaurant, one of the unmissable addresses in the area. 330
