A 10km, forest-shaded drive from Cortina, this stylish place is astounding value, with spectacular mountain views from its large rooms. The well-regarded restaurant (open 9am to 11pm, Tuesday to Sunday) has an unexpected elegance: choose from a modern communal dining table or cosy stuben (traditional dining room). Make sure to ask for the key to the fresco-filled 13th-century church that nestles below the hotel.
