What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Its architecture retains the charm of the local style, with graceful lines that blend seamlessly into the dramatic Dolomite landscape.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Valdaora di Mezzo rests quietly in the Val Pusteria, with Kronplatz peak and its alpine trails directly overhead.
The rooms
Pale timber paneling warms the bright interiors, and private balconies look toward the Kronplatz peaks.
The indoor-outdoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A chlorine-free ozone pool heated to 31°C lets swimmers glide through a water sluice into the alpine air.
The saunas
Tiered pine saunas host regular infusions, and an illuminated indoor whirlpool sits beside a Kneipp foot pool.
Gym and relaxation lounge
The wood-paneled fitness room has cardio and rowing machines, and quiet lounges arrange daybeds around a central fire.
At the table
The revolving bar pours evening aperitifs, and dinner arrives in wood-paneled Stuben parlours with arched stained-glass windows.
How it began

Judith Agstner rebuilt her family's postwar inn in 2000, creating South Tyrol's first dedicated wellness hotel.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.

Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
