What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
There’s nothing of the boutique world about La Perla — it’s old-fashioned hospitality at its best, as though it had never occurred to a hotel to be ‘hip.’
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set at the foot of Mount Sassongher in Corvara, the property offers direct ski-in, ski-out access to the Sellaronda circuit.
The rooms
Tucked behind reclaimed timber doors, rooms feature Swiss pine floorboards, antique furniture, and private balconies gazing across the Dolomites.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
An arched timber bridge crosses the indoor stone pool, set beneath painted vaulted ceilings and warm sconces.
The spa
Pine-paneled relaxation rooms host herbal bodywork, and two saunas look straight out toward Mount Sassongher.
Dogs stay too.
Bar
Bistrot Music Club
Red leather stools surround the circular counter, where bartenders mix cocktails to nightly live music.
At the table
Historic wood-paneled stües serve regional Ladin recipes, and La Stüa de Michil prepares Michelin-starred tasting menus.
How it began
Founded in 1956 by ski instructor Ernesto Costa, the mountain retreat has expanded across three generations to include an antique motorcycle collection.
