There's no staffed reception — check in through the lounge and reach staff via the Badia Hill app throughout your stay.
Why It Matters
Ristorante Porcino earned a Michelin star within a few years of opening, making it one of the few hotels in the Dolomites where the restaurant is genuinely the star attraction. Owned and operated by a chef-sommelier couple with serious fine-dining backgrounds. The rooftop spa with heated infinity pool overlooking Sasso Santa Croce is one of the finest wellness setups in Alta Badia.
Badia Hill is a 'Food & Boutique Hotel' run by chef Marco Verginer and sommelier Michaela Mair, who opened it in 2022 after meeting in a two-Michelin-star restaurant. The concept is simple and committed: drink well, eat exceptionally well, sleep in a beautiful room with a Dolomites view. Thirty-three rooms across five categories, a Michelin-starred restaurant (Ristorante Porcino) that earned its star just a few years after opening, and a rooftop spa with a heated infinity pool that faces Sasso Santa Croce. The whole building is clad in Alpine wood on the outside but inside reads as warmly minimalist — natural materials, floor-to-ceiling windows, and nothing superfluous. Adults-only in spirit (minimum age 12), and proudly without half-board: you eat à la carte across three distinct spaces.
Where You'll Stay
5 room types available
Bosco Room
The 'Forest Room' swaps the standard minibar for a dedicated wine cellar stocked with the best local wines — a statement of priorities. Custom nature wallpaper creates an immersive forest atmosphere. The balcony and a special panoramic reading niche make it a strong choice for those who plan to spend time in the room itself.
48 sqm
Canederlo Room
Named after the Canederlo, the iconic South Tyrolean bread dumpling. Recipes are literally printed on the walls — a playful nod to local culinary tradition that works well given the hotel's food-first identity. Good size with a balcony framing the Dolomites peaks. Comes with minibar and kettle.
Cigar Suite
The top-tier room. Everything the Sauna Suite has, plus a private indoor jacuzzi with panoramic views. Named for the hotel's cigar culture. If you're going to splurge in the Dolomites, this is the room. Features a private sauna, an indoor jacuzzi overlooking the mountains, Nespresso machine, minibar, and the largest living areas in the hotel.
Pralina Room
The entry-level room, named after the homemade praline chocolates left for guests on arrival. Smallest category but still bright and well-designed with a welcoming terrace — the reviewer who stayed here called it 'perfect for a short stay with a fabulous balcony for afternoon sunbathing.' Comes with a kettle for tea and coffee. Open-plan bathroom (noted by some guests as a quirk). Mountain-facing bed placement.
25 sqmSauna Suite
A 48m² suite with a private sauna inside the room — you set your own temperature and sit in the mountains while the Dolomites fill the large windows. Spacious living area, open-plan bathroom, and a south-facing balcony that catches sun through most of the day. Comes with Nespresso machine and minibar. Strong choice for couples who want a serious in-room wellness upgrade.
