Forestis · Italy

The Experience

Forestis is what happens when a hotel commits fully to quiet. Not spa-brochure quiet. Actual, pine-scented, thought-reducing quiet. Set high above the Dolomites, it feels elevated in every sense, geographically, emotionally, existentially. You arrive and immediately stop narrating your life.

This is not a place for productivity or self-improvement. It’s for floating in silence, staring at mountains until your priorities rearrange themselves, and going to bed absurdly early without shame.

The Highlight Reel

  • The Arrival: A slow climb through forest that feels intentional, followed by the realization that no one here is in a rush and neither are you.

  • The Setting: High above the valley, surrounded by pine trees and air so clean it feels personal.

  • The Standout: The infinity pool. Suspended, silent, and deeply convincing in its argument for doing absolutely nothing.

  • The Details: Minimal rooms that feel warm rather than stark, a spa that favors elements over excess, and a rhythm that makes time feel optional.

Why We Love It

  • The Quiet: Not curated. Enforced by nature and mutual agreement.

  • The Design: Minimal, but not cold. Everything feels chosen and then left alone.

  • The Effect: You leave calmer than you arrived, which sounds obvious until it actually happens.

Ideal For

Couples who want to reset without being told how, solo travelers who need their nervous system gently escorted back to baseline, and anyone who finds the word “retreat” slightly suspicious but still wants the outcome.

Mini Edit: For Kids

Best for older, thoughtful kids who like swimming, nature, and not being entertained every second. This is a hotel that expects good behavior and quietly gets it.
