Set amidst the natural elegance of the Dolomites, the Wellness Hotel Fanes welcomes guests with an authentic sense of wellbeing, rooted in a long family tradition. Located in San Cassiano, this refined mountain retreat blends centuries of history—its foundation includes a farmhouse dating back to 1560—seamlessly integrated into a modern structure of wood and stone. Led by Frau Maria Crazzolara and her son Reinhold, the hotel reflects the warm spirit of a family deeply involved in the region’s hospitality development. Among its highlights is the panoramic spa, featuring the year-round heated Sky Pool and the striking Elements Sauna—an elevated rotating cylinder offering breathtaking mountain views. The wellness journey continues with pools connecting the indoor and outdoor areas, saunas, relaxation rooms, and treatments by Caveau Beauté, created in collaboration with spa manager Ingrid Crazzolara and the namesake cosmetics brand. Among these, the Caveau Ladin couple ritual stands out: a whey bath in chestnut tubs, followed by a massage with warm sponges, natural butters, and champagne.The culinary offering combines regional and Mediterranean flavors using the freshest ingredients. The wine list, curated by sommelier Oriano Federa, highlights local and international labels, with the option to enjoy private tastings in the wine cellar. The accommodations, including panoramic suites and designer chalets, combine contemporary comfort with an alpine atmosphere. A heliport, proximity to the Alta Badia Golf Club, and a rich program of activities and events complete the offering. A place where every detail reflects harmony between deep-rooted tradition and a modern vision—perfect for those seeking renewal at high altitude.
