What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The town of Ortisei appears tiny and far away from this little hamlet, which is home to a romantic hideaway where nearly all the rooms have beautiful views of the valley.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Perched at 1,480 meters, the sleepy hamlet of Bulla looks straight across Val Gardena toward the Seceda peaks.
The rooms
Reclaimed vintage wood lines the newest bedrooms, where windows look straight out over the valley far below.
The pool and spa
Bring a swimsuit.
The stainless-steel infinity pool stays heated to 32 degrees Celsius year-round. Inside, floor-to-ceiling glass lines the timber relaxation rooms.
The panoramic sauna
The outdoor Finnish sauna is heated to 90 degrees Celsius, where curved timber benches look out across the valley.
At the table
Alpine-Mediterranean dishes draw on seasonal South Tyrolean ingredients, served across traditional wood-paneled Stuben with regional wines.
How it began
Founder Lotte Zemmer planted Europe's highest rose garden here in 2008, terracing the mountainside with hundreds of varieties.
