What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
You will find warm hospitality in this hotel at the edge of the village, in a typical mountain house with a well - kept interior.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
In Selva di Val Gardena, set beneath the Sella massif a short stroll from village ski lifts.
The rooms
Spacious bedrooms use pale fir wood and clean lines, giving traditional mountain living a crisp, contemporary feel.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
A mosaic-tiled indoor pool sits beside an outdoor stainless-steel basin heated to 33 degrees with Himalayan salt.
The spa
Saunas range from alpine pine to herbal aromas, and a circular whirlpool sits tucked inside vaulted mosaic grottos.
At the table
Breakfast is served in a dining room of blue velvet armchairs, and dinner brings seasonal South Tyrolean dishes.
How it began
The lodge takes its name from Portillo, Chile, where founder Carlo Senoner won slalom gold at the 1966 World Championships.
