Castel Badia: A Medieval Castle Retreat in the Val Pusteria

Castel Badia occupies a restored medieval castle and former monastery on the river at San Lorenzo di Sebato, in the Val Pusteria of South Tyrol near Brunico. Its ancient stone walls and towers, turned into an intimate historic retreat, offer a rare chance to stay inside a genuine piece of Dolomite history.

The dining is warm and seasonal. Stube Badia is an all-day experience across a series of historic rooms, its menu shifting daily with the seasons through mountain cheeses, garden vegetables, hearty soups and homemade desserts; and the Bar and Lounge pours classic and alpine-inspired cocktails with refined light dishes.

For an atmospheric, historic Dolomites stay, Castel Badia is a standout.
