"Forestis Dolomites – My Third Stay Review 1. Length of Stay This was our third visit in three consecutive years with my husband and our dog. This time, we stayed for a total of five nights — three nights in the Tower Suite and two nights in the Penthouse. It’s hard to find a vacation destination more perfect than this, which is why we keep coming back. 2. Tower Suite & Penthouse – Worth it Both room types are exceptional. They are undeniably expensive, but they deliver an experience beyond their price. The level of detail makes you feel like: “Someone who truly understands luxury travel designed this place.” More than anything, the hotel feels incredibly comfortable and relaxing. ✔️ No carpets or rugs → You can instantly see how clean everything is ✔️ Windows fully open → Fresh mountain air, zero stuffiness Many luxury hotels focus on looking extravagant while sacrificing comfort, but this place offers pure relaxation. The Penthouse, with its private pool and sauna, feels almost impossible to top. This time, I also noticed the Penthouse amenities had been upgraded even further. They now provide cleanser, scrub, serum, and moisturizer — you could practically arrive with nothing. 3. Fantastic Dolomites Views from each room During our five-night stay, we only left the hotel for one single day. The hotel itself is the destination. It genuinely feels like lying in bed on top of a mountain peak. The biggest highlight of all is the view. Not once during the five days did the scenery look the same. ✔️ Crystal-clear Dolomites on sunny days ✔️ Dreamlike landscapes wrapped in clouds Every day brings a completely different atmosphere and emotion. Simply staring out the window became the greatest joy of the trip. 4. Amazing Dinners If the panoramic mountain view is the first reason we keep returning, the seven-course dinner is the second. Since this was our third visit, we’ve now experienced a total of twelve dinners — and not once did the menu feel repetitive. Every evening made us wonder: “What will tonight’s course be like?” The plating became even more artistic compared to last year, and we constantly found ourselves saying: “I can’t believe this ingredient can taste like this.” The chefs and servers explained every dish with genuine care and passion. The food quality has become even better, more refined, and more beautiful. There was only one thing I personally didn’t enjoy: a rice-based dessert that simply wasn’t my taste. 5. Staff who make us feel Truly Cared For The service at this hotel goes far beyond simple kindness. What amazed me most was their level of memory and consideration. ✔️ Because our dog was alone in the room, we didn’t want to leave him for too long. On the first day, we asked our server if dinner could be served a bit faster. They gladly accommodated us, and even when our assigned server changed later, every single dinner during the five days was still served quickly without us needing to ask again. We were incredibly grateful for that level of care. ✔️ During our previous stay last year, my husband and I usually shared just one cheese plate serving at the end of dinner because we preferred going back to the room quickly. This time, we skipped cheese four out of five dinners and only requested it once. We forgot to mention that one serving was enough for both of us. A few moments later, the server returned to double-check whether we wanted one or two cheese portions. At that moment, I genuinely wondered if the kitchen had remembered our habit from last year and asked the server to confirm it. It was honestly shocking that they seemed to remember even details from our previous visits. ✔️ Evenings at dinner, several top managers who remembered us personally came all the way to our table just to warmly greet us. It was especially touching because the restaurant was not even part of their main roles , and I thought it was already past their working hours. Moments like these make me feel that this hotel keeps improving because of the incredible people working there. Thank you as well for the beautiful flower gifts we received twice during our stay. We were also so happy to see Bruno and his wife still working at the restaurant. On our first evening, we heard Bruno was actually assigned to the bar, yet he still came personally to greet us at our table. Once again, we were deeply touched by the thoughtful and attentive care. At this point, it no longer feels like ordinary hospitality. It feels like a highly detailed and systematic level of guest care. 6. Truly Pet-Friendly hotel ✔️ One of the hotel’s biggest strengths is that dogs are allowed in all room categories without restrictions. The type of hotel I dislike most is one that forces guests with dogs into only certain room type. And honestly, those hotels usually have one thing in common: poor cleaning standards. However Forestis Dolomites is totally different. They don’t need “pet-only rooms.” because they clean everything thoroughly after each stay whether a room was used by humans only or together with a dog. It’s proof of an extremely high standard of cleanliness and management. That level of care creates trust and allows us to feel completely comfortable staying here every time. ✔️ The forest trails directly connected to the hotel are perfect for dog walks, filled with fresh alpine air and beautiful scenery. Both our dog and we enjoyed relaxing and exercising there. They even added a dog toilet area and waste bins near the trail entrance, which made things much more convenient than before. 7. Recommend strongly!! Honestly speaking, it’s incredibly difficult to find a hotel in Northern Italy better than Hotel Forestis Dolomites. There may be hotels with somewhat similar Dolomites views, but in every other aspect, nothing comes close to the quality of Hotel Forestis Dolomites. ✔️ The hotel itself is the attraction ✔️ The scenery changes magically every day ✔️ Dinner courses at an artistic level ✔️ A perfectly relaxing environment"
