Top Italian Hotels & Resorts 2025

Nestled at 1,800 meters above sea level among larches and firs, FORESTIS is an exceptional retreat where the nature of the Dolomites meets contemporary Alpine design. The resort features 62 rooms and suites, crafted from natural materials like wood and stone, designed to blend seamlessly with the landscape and offer a deeply restorative experience. A highlight of the resort is the spa, inspired by four symbolic local trees — mountain pine, spruce, larch, and Swiss stone pine — which guide deeply regenerating treatments. Spacious wellness areas include an indoor- outdoor pool, saunas, and relaxation rooms with panoramic mountain views. The restaurant, laid out in an amphitheater shape facing the Dolomites, serves local cuisine reinterpreted with creativity by Chef Roland Lamprecht, paired with a curated selection of Alpine wines. Adjacent to the main property stands the new FORESTIS Villa, a historic 1912 residence originally built by the Austrian monarchy. After a meticulous restoration, it now offers an exclusive private stay for up to ten guests, surrounded by a forest and a 1,000 m² private garden with pool, herb garden, outdoor kitchen, and lounge area. Spread across multiple levels and totaling 1,200 m², the villa preserves original Alpine architecture with wooden facades, exposed beams, and interiors faithfully restored using early 20th-century designs. It features five suites, a private spa with heated pool, sauna, steam bath, and a fully equipped fitness area, as well as a wine cellar and event space. A concierge, private butler, and chef are on hand to ensure a personalized stay. FORESTIS Villa offers a rare experience of peace, nature, and timeless elegance in the heart of the Dolomites. 87/100 Bressanone FORESTIS mo un t a i n r e s o r t 224
