What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Also in Wallpaper*.
Here, the lines are clean yet the textures remain rustic: knotty pine paneling and abstract rugs with a subtle cowhide resemblance ensure the Alpine character is never lost.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Set in quiet San Cassiano, the residence sits moments from the Piz Sorega gondola and the vast Dolomiti Superski network.
The rooms
Suites pair Swiss pine paneling and local slate with fully equipped kitchens, private balconies, and dedicated mountain spring water fountains.
The spa
Daybeds line the glass-walled relaxation room, and treatments range from Ayurvedic rituals to local alpine honey scrubs.
Restaurant
Breakfast Stube
Reclaimed timber panels three traditional Stube rooms, where an organic morning buffet serves local mountain cheeses and fresh juices.
How it began
Local Ladin hosts Margareth and Pio Canins shaped the residence around Pio's mountain fossil discoveries, displaying genuine specimens across the halls.
