The five-star luxury mountain retreat has announced the completion of a new wine cellar, garden restaurant and spa treatment rooms following an extensive renovation.
Located on the southern slope of the Plose mountain, 1,800m above sea level, FORESTIS also reveals new experiences from wine-tastings to cooking classes.
Surrounded by meadows and mountain plants against the backdrop of the Dolomites, the new Garden Restaurant which includes a show kitchen will bring the lightness and gioia di vivere (joy of life) of the Mediterranean lifestyle closer to its guests.
The restaurant will have a constantly changing all-day menu based on the availability of fresh seasonal produce from the region. Herbs, vegetables and forest ingredients from the hotel’s kitchen garden as well as mushrooms, roots, sprouts and bark from the neighbouring forest, will be foraged by kitchen staff and used in the dishes.
Located between the bar and the garden restaurant, the new wine cellar can be reached by descending a few steps right into the vault’s centre. Inside, guests can participate in wine tasting along a large rectangular wooden table with room for 10 people, with private dining experiences also available. The wine cellar will be home to a wide selection of delicious local, national and international wines.
The terrace in front of the main restaurant has also been redesigned with a curved layout and a newly redesigned garden. Guests can enjoy breakfast on the expanded terrace whilst basking in the mountain sun and sipping on their morning coffee.
The new spa suites have been equipped with two treatment beds, a large round bathtub, relaxation area, steam bath, shower and a back office. The suites vary in size between 34 and 38sq m. The spa has also added new treatments to its menu, expanding on its year-round wellness programme inspired by Celtic traditions and their natural doctrine. The new additions include a healing wood massage, using intuitively selected wooden sticks, a vital field massage, strengthening the body’s energy with gentle movements, and a mental field massage, calming the mind with a focus on the face and neck.
