Top Italian Hotels & Resorts 2025

Reaching the Cyprianerhof means gradually immersing yourself in the beauty of the Dolomites: it’s best to take the provincial road, avoiding the Old Road, which is more scenic but less safe. Once you arrive at the foot of the Catinaccio, the atmosphere changes: the pace slows down and everything invites you to relax and reconnect with nature. The resort has a family heritage that began in the 1960s and is now carried on by the third generation of the Damian family, with siblings Monika and Michael, and Diego Villegas. Guest care goes hand in hand with a genuine appreciation for the work of the entire team, who contribute to creating an atmosphere of authentic and heartfelt hospitality. Respect for the environment is an integral part of Cyprianerhof ’s philosophy, making it one of the first in South Tyrol to embrace sustainable hospitality. Energy efficiency, electric mobility, the use of local products, and plastic reduction are daily choices. Wood, the main element in the interiors, adds warmth and harmony to the rooms and common areas, while panoramic windows offer breathtaking views. Right in front of the hotel, the panoramic cable car departs for Catinaccio, linking Tires to the mountain with architect Werner Tscholl’s minimal-impact stations. In the kitchen, Monika Damian reinterprets family recipes with a light, Mediterranean touch, showcasing alpine butter, cheese, speck, hay milk, and homemade jams. After a day of hiking, guests unwind at the Similde Spa, with a panoramic sauna, Turkish bath, fitness area, and a pool with mountain views. It’s an experience of nature, wellness, and authenticity that restores not only the body but also the soul. Cyprianerhof Dolomit Resort San Cipriano mo un t a i n r e s o r t 248
