Rosapetra Spa Resort
Hotel Overview
Rosapetra Spa Resort sits above Cortina d'Ampezzo in a position of extraordinary natural beauty — surrounded by the Tofana, Cristallo, and Faloria massifs, with views that change colour from rose to gold as the sun moves across the sky. The resort is built around wellness and tranquillity, with a spa that is among the finest in the Dolomites and a kitchen that takes the local Ampezzo culinary tradition seriously. It is a quieter, more contemplative alternative to the grand hotels in the centre of Cortina.
