What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
the natural building materials and calming modernist design are mere backdrop — the unending series of health, wellness and relaxation offerings, in the spa and otherwise, take center stage.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Lake Zoccolo sits right outside at 1,150 meters, bordered by pine forests and quiet Ultimo Valley trails.
The rooms
Rooms are insulated with local sheep's wool for quiet sleep, and select suites include private outdoor saunas.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Chlorine-free active oxygen fills the slate-lined indoor pool, and an outdoor heated pool borders the natural swimming pond.
The spa
Stone pine massages take place in sunlit treatment rooms, and the relaxation lounge is lined with built-in hay beds.
The gym
Technogym strength and cardio machines fill the fitness room, set behind floor-to-ceiling windows looking toward the mountains.
Lifestyle Restaurant
Chefs cook with wild mountain herbs and organic South Tyrolean produce in wood-panelled parlours beside tiled masonry stoves.
At the table
White-linen tables on the gravel terrace look toward forested mountains, and the indoor lounge pours alpine aperitifs.
How it began
The Stauder family built the property in 2007 as a low-impact lodge powered by renewable district biomass.
