Hotel Villa Alpina ***S
Two minutes to the centre, 500m to Monte Faloria
About this hotel
Villa Alpina sits in the heart of Cortina d'Ampezzo, with the Monte Faloria ski slopes 500 metres away and the town centre a two-minute walk in the other direction, a rare combination of ski proximity and central life. Rooms carry wooden furnishings and parquet floors, with free Wi-Fi, a flat-screen satellite TV and a private bathroom throughout, and some rooms add a balcony overlooking the Dolomites with a lounge area. Breakfast is a rich buffet with cakes, cold meats and cheeses, with bacon and eggs on request, and can be enjoyed on the terrace in summer. The Parco dei Dolomiti National Park is around 3km away for guests wanting a day off the slopes.

Our take
This suits travellers who refuse to choose between a ski-adjacent base and a walkable town centre, since Villa Alpina genuinely offers both. Families and ski-school bookings work well here given the short walk to Monte Faloria. Anyone chasing a five-star spa floor should look elsewhere, this stays a well-run Alpine three-star rather than a resort.
- Request a balcony room with lounge area if the Dolomites view matters to your stay
- Walk the two minutes into the centre for dinner rather than relying on the hotel restaurant every night
- Ask for bacon and eggs at breakfast, it is available on request beyond the standard buffet
Why we love it
- 500m from the Monte Faloria ski slopes
- 2-minute walk to the town centre
- Balcony rooms with Dolomites views
- Rich breakfast buffet
Why guests love itVilla Alpina put us a 2-minute walk from the centre of Cortina with the Monte Faloria slopes 500 metres away, an easy combination with kids. Our room had wooden furnishings, parquet floors and a balcony looking out at the Dolomites, which we never tired of. Breakfast was a rich buffet with cakes and cold meats, so everyone started the day well fed. Free Wi-Fi was reliable, handy for checking snow reports before heading up.
