A very special place awaits guests on the Plose. Because the FORESTIS is a wonderful Place of Spirit. Surrounded by the mighty Dolomites, the hotel run by Teresa and Stefan Hinteregger is a guarantee for unforgettable stays. Once designed by Austrian architect Otto Wagner as a sanatorium, the building was later a resort for priests and clergy. And today, after careful restoration and careful expansion, it's still a retreat of tranquility. Culinary and cocooning meet nature and naturalness. Of course, the house also has one of the most beautiful pools in the mountains.
