My first time in Alta Badia was when I was about one year and a half, with my parents. And over the years the memory of this holiday “in the north”, has always been alive with anecdotes that mom and dad told me.
So when I had the chance to spend a little holiday in Alta Badia, I immediately thought of bringing my dad (excited) with me.

Hotel Cristallo in Alta Badia

Hotel Cristallo is located in La Villa (BZ), Italy. About a 10 minute drive you can reach the center of Corvara and La Villa.
But the best thing is to move along the many paths in the outdoors. On foot, Corvara is 40 minutes from the Hotel Cristallo, while La Villa is 50 minutes of very pleasant walk.
The hotel can be seen immediately from the street. It is located in a valley, and behind it there are the beautiful Dolomites.

The Restaurant

The main skill of a good chef, in my opinion, is in being able to prepare tasty and beautiful dishes to look at, even with simple ingredients. And that’s what surprised me the most in the restaurant of Hotel Cristallo.
I ate dinner there every day and every day was a surprise.
Dishes of incredible creativity made with simple foods like potatoes,mushrooms and vegetables.

The soups, which usually does not excite me, here were creamy and smell delicious. And the Tomino on potatoes pie remains still dream now.

Not to mention the original buffet of vegetables and appetizers, varied and plentiful and the selection of cakes.

The wellness area

Is there anything more relaxing than returning to the hotel after a day of walking through the woods or better to climb the mountains? Yes there is.

Coming back to the hotel and find a wellness area where you can be pampered.

At Hotel Cristallo spa area consists of a beautiful heated indoor pool with garden view, a Jacuzzi and sauna area.

You can also enjoy many types of treatments and massages extra, in an environment that already get you into wellness mode.
And for those who want to excercise even on vacation, the hotel also has a small gym.

Rooms

This is the part of the hotel where reality becomes a dream.

Imagine my face when I entered the Suite Dolomites and I found myself in front of 49mq room, divided into 3 environments.
Room, bedroom, with huge walk-in closet, living room with sofa and TV, bathroom with shower room, and areas with sinks and bathtub Empire style. I felt a real princess.

All in wood, to give the room classical relaxing atmosphere “mountain home” and that typical smell, which I really like.
And, that’s incredible, a beautiful electric fireplace, to light in winter to complete the perfect atmosphere.
Outside a large balcony overlooking the hotel garden and the Dolomites. Like waking up with a smile on his face.
Such a nice room that I could not wait to go back.
