If you’re looking for heaven on earth, look no further. We had a fabulous stay, everything was simply perfect.
It was a surprise trip I had arranged for a special occasion for my partner. So, I needed to get everything absolutely right.
The excellent service began before my arrival at the hotel. The reception staff (Lara, Verena, Katharina) and the experience guide (Alexander) answered all my questions and helped me with the arrangements for the special occasion.
Hotel itself is magnificent, with stunning views of the majestic landscape. Facilities are world-class. There is a sexy indoor-outdoor connected heated infinity pool as well as steam bath, sauna and gym. We also received the Rocky Relax signature massage treatment which utilized smoke infusions and stones, a unique local South Tyrollean treatment which was an absolute delight, leaving us feeling pampered and tranquil. Thanks to Melanie and the younger masseuse (can’t remember her name!).
We stayed in the San Ray Suite with private jacuzzi, sauna, terrace, garden and of course, sublime views. There is literally nothing sweeter than waking up and spending the day in this suite, and the hotel facilities.
For breakfast, they have a good buffet selection but also some items you could order off the menu. Very decent quality. Coffee is good. Lunch is not included in the price but you could still order food at the bar during the day. For dinner, they provide a multi-course upscale gourmet dining experience, with the menu changing everyday. Each bite was an explosion of paradise in my mouth, and so it was very exciting to look forward to dinner each night, not knowing what you’re going to get. I would like to give a shout out to the restaurant team who took care of us, especially Nadine, who was primarily in charge of our table. But also to others like Raffael, Simon, Hannes and many others which I didn’t catch their names! We were even served by two of the three brothers who own the hotel. After dinner, we chilled at the bar where there is a cozy and elegant fireplace, and some little nooks where you could play board games or billiards. On some days they have live music too.
In terms of things to do during the day, the hotel provides several guided activities during the week, already included in the hotel price, such as hikes, yoga, stretching, Pilates etc. We did a panoramic snow hike led by Alexander. We were driven about 15 mins to a starting point at about 2000m elevation (compared to the hotel at 850m). During a stop at a view point, Alexander provided us a nice charcuterie board as well as warm tea. It was a great experience with majestic views of the dolomites (Aferer Geisler up close and Zillertal Alps in the distance, I think).
Overall, we had a magical experience. We really felt like we had a slice of heaven. Hotel is in a stunning location with great facilities. Staff were extremely warm and service was excellent. The food was absolutely delicious. The hotel has a very nice vibe and puts you in a very positive spirit. We felt very taken care of and will...

As South Africans, snow was a novelty, and the Dolomites, a dream destination. Santre Dolomythic became the perfect launching pad for our ski adventure.

Things to Consider:
