Hala says

The Costa family's 48-room hotel in the centre of Corvara, family-run since 1956, with one Michelin star at La Stüa de Michil.

The Costa family bought a small mountain inn in 1956 and have been running it as a family for three generations since; Michele Costa runs it now, his son Mathias works the floor, and the place still feels exactly like that. Antiques you can sit on. A rocking horse in a corridor. A typewriter in a guest lounge. Original 17th-century farmhouse stuben (parlour rooms) lining the public spaces, their ceilings transplanted intact from Tyrolean houses. The 48 rooms are all individually designed; book a Dolomite suite or the corner ones with their own stube. The spa is the modern counterweight: pine sauna, hammam, indoor pool with mountain view. La Stüa de Michil (one Michelin) is the restaurant; Bistrot La Perla is the casual one; the Mahatma Wine Cellar below has 30,000 bottles and a room dedicated to Sassicaia. The treehouse (yes, treehouse) does aperitivo for two with Franciacorta and house-cured salumi. Skiing from the door in winter; hiking and rock-climbing programs in summer. The alternative to Aman next door, at significantly less money, with double the soul.
