"The Palace Wellness spa is a destination unto itself - the infinity pool overlooking the mountains is simply spectacular. Our treatment suite had panoramic views, and the Alpine-inspired treatments were both indulgent and effective. Every aspect of our stay was flawless, from the personalized check-in to the thoughtful room amenities and attentive yet unobtrusive service. A truly world-class experience."

"We visited in summer and were delighted by the range of activities available. The concierge arranged a private hiking guide who took us to spectacular viewpoints away from the tourist trails. The Grill restaurant at Chesa Veglia served the best steak I've ever had, and dining on the terrace with views of the mountains was magical. A perfect balance of adventure and luxury."
