Idyllic Italy winter mountain escape in the Dolomites

• Mountain digs: Occupying a beautiful spot in the Dolomites, Hotel Royal Hinterhuber is perfect for action-packed holidays or relaxing retreats. The rooms at this Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice hotel are light and airy, with private balconies for admiring the great views, as well as very comfy beds to ensure a dreamy night’s sleep after a day in the mountains.
  
  
• Italian cuisine: The hotel’s restaurant uses produce from the local area and its own garden to create a fantastic blend of Alpine and Mediterranean cuisine. The results speak for themselves, with fresh antipasti, classic pasta, authentic Italian pizza and hearty Tyrolean dumplings all being raved about. Regional wines complete the package and create the perfect pairing to any meal.
  
  
• Super spa: The outside pool is a heavenly spot to swim and sunbathe; indeed, it’s only rivalled by the bright and elegant panoramic indoor pool with massage jets and a wonderful whirlpool. Check-in to the spa for some serious R&R, where Finnish saunas, Turkish steam baths, ice grottos and so much more are set to lull you into a state of complete peace; mesmerising massages and spoiling treatments are simply cherries on top of the cake.
