What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
This hotel has attractive, spacious and elegant guestrooms (ask for one of the recently refurbished rooms).
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Nova Levante's quiet lanes sit right outside, and walking trails lead up toward the jagged Rosengarten massif.
The rooms
Spacious layouts feature clean alpine timber and quiet balconies, with the updated quarters offering modern finishes and mountain views.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated outdoor pool and whirlpool look toward the Latemar peaks. Inside, soft daybeds line a panoramic swimming pool.
The spa
Pine-paneled lounges look through picture windows toward the garden, and treatments draw on Alpine and Ayurvedic traditions.
The event sauna
Layered timber benches face floor-to-ceiling forest views inside the event sauna, where Aufguss rituals take place.
Restaurant
Johannesstube
Michelin-starred Johannesstube serves regional alpine tasting menus across just six tables, set among local Dolomite stone.
At the table
Light wood tables and tailored booths fill the main restaurant, where regional alpine breakfasts and dinners are served.
How it began
Johann and Rosalia Kohler began hosting travelers in their farmhouse in 1862, right after the road through the valley opened.
