2 weeks agoThis New Luxury Hotel in Italy's Dolomites Used to be a Convent and Has 2 Pools, Original Frescoes, and Perfect Mountain Views
My husband and I spotted Castel Badia from a distance as we drove through Val Pusteria, the scenic Alpine valley that connects Italy and Austria. Once we got closer, we ditched the car and hopped into a sleek electric golf cart that whisked us to the entrance of the 11th-century castle-turned-five-star hotel. Upon entering, I was immediately drawn to the lingering scent of pine, ancient wood, and the mountains.
