Mezzana, Italy
A family-run mountain retreat in Val di Sole since 1905, with Trentino kitchen traditions, guided Dolomite hikes, and the Abete Alpine Wellness centre.
Hotel Salvadori sits in Mezzana at the heart of Val di Sole, the Valley of 100 Lakes. The Brenta Dolomites rise to the south. Adamello and Presanella anchor the western skyline. Stelvio National Park begins a short drive north. The hotel has operated under the Salvadori family since 1905, and four generations of that continuity show in the worn-in warmth of every room.
Guide Grazia, a certified Medium Mountain Guide, leads a weekly programme of valley walks, sunrise hut breakfasts, and mindful movement sessions. The kitchen stays in family hands, with chefs Angelo Salvadori and Domenico cooking from recipes passed down through generations. After a day in the mountains, the Abete Alpine Wellness centre pulls guests back indoors. The philosophy is simple: health is the greatest human wealth.
Guide Grazia runs a structured weekly programme from the hotel. Mondays start with an easy walk through Val di Rabbi, 200 metres of altitude gain. Wednesdays begin at 5:30 AM for a sunrise trek into Val di Pejo inside Stelvio National Park, ending with breakfast at a mountain hut. Fridays tackle steeper terrain, 400 metres up into remote high country.
Tuesdays and Thursdays stay closer to ground. Bioenergetics and mindful stretching fill the morning hour. Thursday adds body awareness and walking meditation. Organised bike tours roll through the valley. A Technogym-equipped gym handles rainy days. Madonna di Campiglio and Passo del Tonale sit 10 to 20 kilometres away for bigger alpine ambitions.

The kitchen is the family's pride. Chefs Angelo Salvadori and Domenico cook from recipes handed down through four generations. Each evening brings a four-course gourmet dinner: fine appetisers, a choice of four first courses, four mains, fresh salad buffet, and dessert. Every night includes a traditional Trentino dish alongside more creative plates.
Once a week, a candlelit Gala Dinner showcases local specialties. Mornings open with a generous breakfast built for mountain days. Between 3:00 and 5:00 PM, the bar serves homemade cakes and fresh fruit. The philosophy holds steady: food is nourishment, and life is care and welfare.
The Abete Alpine Wellness centre fills the lower floors with heat, steam, and water. A Finnish sauna delivers dry heat. The Hay Bio-Sauna infuses alpine meadow hay into gentler warmth. An outdoor soft sauna opens to mountain air. A Turkish bath and Thalassotherapy steam bath round out the thermal circuit.
An indoor heated pool and eight-seat whirlpool sit beneath the sauna level. Outside, a heated swimming pool faces the garden and solarium. Spacious relaxation areas line the corridors between circuits. The beauty centre provides targeted body and beauty treatments. Sauna World opens afternoons from 3:00 PM for guests aged 14 and over.
Hotel Salvadori's approach to sustainability reflects its century-long rootedness in Val di Sole. The kitchen sources local, fresh products from the surrounding valleys. Family recipes reduce waste by design, built around what the season and the land provide.
No formal sustainability certifications or energy-source details are published. The hotel's longest-running environmental practice is its relationship with the landscape itself, guiding guests into Stelvio National Park and Val di Rabbi with care for the terrain they cross.
