ROSA ALPINA ITALY

While this is no destination spa, the leisure facilities are extensive and we feel it fits the bill perfectly for a ‘pure hedonism' holiday where you can indulge in both healthy exercise and food and wine. The spa offers a tempting range of massage and beauty treatments; be sure to try out the signature Head to Toe treatment, an indulgent two-hour session including face peel, full body salt scrub and massage. Those looking to expend more energy can take advantage of the gym, yoga studio, climbing wall and - of course - access to the glorious Dolomites. For a really immersive mountain experience, have dinner and overnight in a nearby shepherd's hut on the hill or even spend a few nights hiking and overnighting in refugios before returning to Rosa Alpina for some well-earned pampering.

Rosa Alpina's rooms are subtly but warmly decorated with good use of wood and natural fabrics and wools. Suites feature a sitting area with wood burner, balcony and large bathroom so we highly recommend these for Red Savannah clients. Families are welcome at the resort, and there are rooms with small gardens which are ideal if you have young ones needing space to run around safely. Dining is always a treat at Rosa Alpina and four different venues cater to every taste and occasion, whether that is Michelin-starred dining at St Hubertus, hearty fondues at the Fondue Stube or wood-fired pizzas with mountain views at the Wine Bar & Grill.
