Modernist alpine lodge
The lodge offers a modern Italian take on chalet living, trading rustic clutter for clean lines and mountain quiet.
What it’s good at
Notable
An 850-square-metre spa using proprietary Alpen 20 botanicals beside an indoor pool.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Outside, white masonry and dark timber form a more modernist type of lodge, reflected tenfold in the accommodations inside.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Bratto sits a thousand metres up in the Seriana Valley, right beneath the limestone cliffs of the Presolana massif.

The rooms
Bedrooms stick to soft hues and uncluttered timber, and many look out toward the limestone walls of the Presolana.
The indoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated indoor pool looks out over snowy trees through broad windows, joined by a whirlpool and waterfall spout.
The spa
Pebble-bedded Kneipp foot baths sit beside a Finnish sauna and steam hammam for post-mountain recovery.
Lounge Bar
The lounge serves morning buffet breakfasts, casual lunches, and evening drinks backed by more than a hundred Champagnes.
At the table
Ristorante Al Caminone prepares mountain dishes around a monumental hearth, and chefs plate dinners right among the cellar racks.
How it began
Tommaso Iannotta and Maria Tomasoni opened the hotel in 1965, naming it after the city where they lived as newlyweds.

The eight vibes
Design
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
