The hype
Reviewers are obsessed with the architecture and the infinity pool views, calling it a 'stairway to heaven' for wellness lovers.
Hotel Belvedere
$250-400/ noche
Reserva esto si You want a high-design alpine hideaway with infinity pool views of the Dolomites, but don't mind being a 15-minute winding drive above Bolzano.
Por qué a la gente le encanta
- The heated infinity pool with a 'floating over the valley' view of Bolzano
- Frieda's Fine Dining restaurant using '0 km' ingredients from nearby farms
- The 'Hangbau' hillside suites that are built directly into the porphyry rock
Resumen rápido: It's a stunning architectural marvel on a cliff, but without the cable car (currently closed), you are tethered to the valley by a bus or a winding mountain road.
Reseñado por @maurathehypegirl: I stayed here for a summer escape and it was pure magic. The infinity pool overlooking the Dolomites is even better in person, and the food was incredible. If you want a dreamy Italian trip, this is the place.
Lo que dijeron los huéspedes que se hospedaron aquí

The lack of AC in summer and the isolation (now that the cable car is down) are the main friction points for guests expecting city convenience.
- You prioritize spa time and infinity pool views over city center nightlife
- You are a hiker looking for immediate access to the Salten larch plateau
- You appreciate '0 km' food philosophy and gourmet half-board dining

5 cosas que debes saber antes de ir
💡The 'no 3/4 board' policy is intentional to support local hut owners—it's a community-first move, not cost-cutting.
💡The winding road up can be intimidating at night if you aren't used to alpine driving.
💡You might find 'hornet-like' bugs on your balcony in late summer—it's nature, not a hygiene issue.
💡The walk to the nearest village center (Jenesien) is short but steep.
💡The 'Studio' apartments are in a separate dependance building, not the main hotel, which offers more privacy but less convenience.
