What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Built in the fifties, it nevertheless exhibits a traditional Alpine style in its architecture, while its interiors have been brought up to date — still classic, but exhibiting a touch of modern furniture and up-to-date comforts.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
The grounds face the Sella massif, putting the village of Selva and the Sellaronda ski circuit right at your doorstep.
The rooms
Modern furnishings update classic alpine woodwork, and many rooms look straight out across the valley toward the rocky peaks.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated outdoor pool steams against winter snow facing the Dolomites, beside a curved indoor mosaic basin.
The gym
Technogym equipment sits over wood flooring and rough stone, with large windows looking straight out at the mountains.
At the table
A grand piano sits beside the curved wood bar, and summer lunches bring outdoor grilling to the garden terrace.
How it began
The property began in 1956 as a family home, built in a horseshoe shape to embrace its private parkland.
