I’d sell an ovary to stay at Forestis. So pretty, but so not my tax bracket.

We didn't get to Cortina, but I'd love to go back there.

We've also been to Sardinia and agree with the PP about beaches. Beautiful but insanely crowded. I wouldn't go back there in the summer.

We went in the summer to go hiking and stayed at Gardena Grödnerhof. Had an excellent trip and will likely make a repeat visit in the next couple of years.

Agree. It was so early 2000s when I spent a year there. It's nice, but Switzerland and Austria's Alps are amazing.

How did you like Merano? Looking at a place to stay there for a summer trip.

PP - the vittorio veneto castle. https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/1761697?source_impression_id=p3_1741986615_P3NQ89YFqnViSyl0

We rented a house in Cortina - absolutely lovely. We have also stayed in the foothills in Vittorio Veneto. There is a lovely castle that you can rent an apartment in and a fantastic stable to go riding in the hills.

In the summer?

We loved Sardinia and are planning a trip to the Dolomites. Different animals in my opinion.

We went to Sardinia in the Summer and basically went to the beach everyday and had delicious meals in small towns in the evenings. Our plan for the Dolomites is to hike in the daytime from hotel to hotel and then spa and delicious dinner at night.

Keep in mind: the beaches in Sardinia are like all of Italy: absolutely packed in June/July/August. We've been to beaches all over the world and these were the most crowded I've ever seen. Beautiful though. It's also eye of the sun hot in Summer. If I were to go again I'd go in May or late Sept

I’m partial to San Lorenzo in Banale. Breathtaking!

Family Hotel Posta! We need to go back soon!

We stayed in a lovely home in S Tyrole.

We stayed at a small hotel in Cortina. I wouldn't describe it as "property", it was a low key B&B type place (which Cortina is full of).

I see this place mentioned often, so we’re considering a vacation there. What is your favorite property to stay at there?

Also for those who have also visited Sardinia, would you suggest that or the Dolomites for vacation?
