FORESTIS Villa—a stunning retreat in the Italian Dolomites, invites you to stay in solitude, luxury, and breathtaking views
The Italian Dolomites have long held a mythical allure—a place where the air is crisper, the silence deeper, and the mountains seem to have healing powers within them. And nestled within this breathtaking wilderness, perched 5,900 feet above sea level, is a retreat that redefines exclusivity and luxury: FORESTIS Dolomites.
For those who believe that true luxury is found in space, solitude, and the embrace of nature, FORESTIS has always been a revelation. But now, this sanctuary has unveiled something even more extraordinary—a private villa that takes the experience of alpine retreat to an entirely new level. The FORESTIS Villa, an expansive, exquisitely designed hideaway that promises seclusion, bespoke experiences, and a connection with nature so intimate, it feels almost spiritual.
A Villa Above the Clouds
Sitting on the sunny southern slope of the Plose mountain in the South Tyrolean Alps, FORESTIS Villa is a masterpiece of understated elegance. With five individually crafted en-suite bedrooms, it offers the perfect setting for both intimate getaways and grand gatherings. Here, mornings begin with the golden glow of sunlight filtering through floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating spaces of natural stone, warm wood, and soft linens. The interiors are a masterclass in sustainable luxury—minimalist yet rich in texture, contemporary yet deeply rooted in tradition. Every element, from the solid wood furniture to the lime-plastered walls and clay floors, speaks to a philosophy of mindful living.
Nature is Everywhere; Embrace It
Designed by the visionary architect Armin Sader, FORESTIS Villa is a celebration of its surroundings. The structure pays homage to its origins as a century-old healing retreat, with the philosophy that nature is the true luxury. The 14-meter private pool mirrors the sky, creating the illusion of floating among the clouds. A 500 m² garden area unfolds into the wilderness, offering quiet corners for reflection. The villa’s private spa—spanning an impressive 400 m²—is a temple of well-being, complete with a Finnish sauna, cold pool, steam room, and a massage suite with a bathtub for two. Whether you’re detoxing in the sauna as snowflakes swirl outside or floating in the pool under a blanket of stars, the experience is pure magic.
A Culinary Retreat Like No Other
At FORESTIS Villa, dining is not just about sustenance—it’s about celebrating the art of slow living. Guests have the luxury of a private Italian chef crafting personalised menus that showcase the best of the region’s ingredients. Devour hand-rolled pasta infused with mountain herbs, fresh Alpine cheeses, and wines from local vineyards in the elegant dining space or under the open sky. Mornings begin with a beautifully curated breakfast, featuring freshly baked pastries, local honey, and aromatic espresso. And should you find yourself craving a late-night indulgence, the villa’s fully stocked kitchen and wine cellar ensure that every whim is catered to.
Experiences That Stay With You
Luxury at FORESTIS Villa extends beyond its walls—it’s about the moments that linger long after you’ve left. Whether it’s an early morning yoga session as mist rolls over the peaks, a guided hike through hidden alpine trails, or an afternoon spent cycling through the meadows on an e-bike, every experience is designed to deepen your connection with nature. For those who seek more, the villa offers a range of curated experiences: meditative forest walks, herb farm visits, and even sessions with a life coach to help reset the mind and spirit.
In a world that moves at breakneck speed, FORESTIS Villa is a rare and precious gift—a place where time slows down, where luxury is found not in excess but in the simplicity of space, silence, and nature’s grandeur. If you ever find yourself craving an escape—one that offers unparalleled beauty, deeply personalised service, and the kind of stillness that speaks to the soul—you now know where to go.
