What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Badia Hill itself is unmistakable, a modern structure clad in typically Alpine wood but otherwise a dramatic departure from the traditional mountain-lodge aesthetic.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Badia village sits just down the hillside, with walking paths leading straight into the surrounding Dolomites.

The rooms
Every bedroom opens onto a balcony facing Mount Sasso Santa Croce. Select suites add private saunas or Jacuzzis.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated rooftop infinity pool includes an integrated whirlpool corner and looks straight out across the Dolomite peaks.
Sauna and steam
The panoramic bio sauna looks onto the mountains through floor-to-ceiling glass, and the steam bath is lined in marble.
The relaxation lounge
Upholstered daybeds in the relaxation lounge face the snowy slopes, set beside an indoor fireplace.
At the table
Bistró Badia Hill serves regional pasta and sharing plates, and the lounge bar pours drinks made with house-distilled gin.
How it began
Chef Marco Verginer and sommelier Michaela Mair met in a two-star kitchen before building this mountain property in 2022.
