Rosapetra Spa Resort
Rest and rejuvenation at a dramatic valley hostelry





Nestled amid the jagged landscape of the Italian Dolomites, on the outskirts of the popular winter resort Cortina d’Ampezzo, this wellness-centric boutique offers contemplative comforts to an exclusive set. Named for the pink-hued light that bathes the area come dawn and dusk, Rosapetra features only 29 guest rooms where an abundance of wood, stone and opulent fabrics comprise the interior spaces, and in all directions, views of the dramatic mountain peaks make for a pleasing backdrop. From Cortina, the Faloria and Drusciè gondolas give access to the gamut of winter sports either side of the valley, and during the summer months nearby Cortina Golf offers a uniquely high-altitude course.
