What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
The village of Castelbello is a short walk away, and hiking trails wind directly through the surrounding valley orchards.
The rooms
Oak floors and local timber ground the suites, which open onto private balconies facing the apricot trees.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
A 20-meter heated lap pool stretches across the garden lawn, and a rooftop infinity pool overlooks the valley castle.
The spa and sauna
Timber benches line the Finnish sauna, and massages in the treatment rooms use natural botanical oils.
At the table
Breakfast brings fresh breads and local cereals, and dinner turns to seasonal South Tyrolean recipes with garden herbs.
How it began
The name comes from the local dialect for apricot, inspired by the fruit groves that still surround the property.
