Nestled amidst the majestic Dolomites, FORESTIS, a five-star luxury mountain retreat, has unveiled its latest masterpiece: a breathtaking, exclusive villa available for private hire starting December 1, 2024. This secluded sanctuary, located just meters from the main FORESTIS property on the southern slope of the Plose mountain at 1800 meters above sea level, offers unmatched privacy and personalized service for discerning travelers.
Originally built in 1912 as a doctor’s residence, the villa was lovingly restored to its former glory by owners Teresa and Stefan Hinteregger, in collaboration with architect Armin Sader. This meticulous renovation transformed the historic building into a luxurious private retreat, seamlessly blending sustainable elegance with historical charm. Every structural element, from hand-crafted beams to intricately carved doors, reflects the villa’s rich past.
The villa’s Alpine architecture, echoing European Art Nouveau influences, features captivating carved ornaments, grand loggias, stone plinths, and wooden facades. Each detail evokes a sense of timeless elegance, while the expansive windows provide breathtaking panoramic views of the UNESCO World Heritage Dolomites, mirroring the minimalist, biophilic design of FORESTIS.
Constructed from natural materials like local wood, stone, glass, sand, and lime plaster, the villa’s interiors echo the simplicity of nature, enhanced by a warm color palette. Spanning 1,200 m2 across three floors, the villa features a cozy living room with a fireplace, a fully-equipped kitchen, a cinema room, and an event space perfect for intimate gatherings. Five exquisitely designed bedrooms, each with a custom en-suite bathroom, offer tranquil retreats for discerning guests.
Adding to the villa’s allure is a sophisticated wine cellar nestled in the stone cellar. And for ultimate relaxation, the 400m2 spa, inspired by Celtic druid teachings, offers breathtaking mountain views. It features a spa suite for two, rain shower, Finnish sauna, steam bath, relaxation room with a fireplace, a large heated indoor-outdoor pool, and a fitness room equipped with Technogym machines.
Step outside and discover the villa’s inviting garden area, featuring an outdoor kitchen, pergola, herb garden, and a fireplace with a lounge area, ideal for evenings spent under the starry Dolomites sky.
This new FORESTIS Villa marks the second major update in a series of ongoing renovation projects, which also include a new wine cellar, garden restaurant, and spa treatment rooms. It’s a testament to FORESTIS’ commitment to providing unparalleled luxury experiences and creating unforgettable memories for its guests.
