Bella Vista Hotel

Trentino & South Tyrol


Local skiing legend and 1970s Olympic gold medalist Gustav Thoni presides over this picturesquely sited hotel on a hairpin bend along the road to Passo dello Stelvio. Named for the panoramic mountain vistas that unfold from its windows, it's popular with families who come to enjoy the hotel's well-regarded mountain cuisine and the slopes at the adjacent Trafoi ski area.
