Faloria Mountain Spa Resort

A lovely hotel in Cortina d'Ampezzo with really friendly & helpful staff. When choosing which hotel to stay at, we ended up with a shortlist of 3 hotels - however we chose Faloria as the swimming pool & spa area looked really nice....and it did not disappoint. The pool is half an olympic sized pool in length and was an absolute joy to swim in. In fact the whole spa area was brilliant and as per the title of this review, it was definitely the best spa hotel we have ever stayed at for a winter hiking holiday in Europe. Some hotel pools in ski resorts are just a waste of time, but the pool at the Faloria was amazing. The hotel is situated a couple of kilometres outside of Cortina d'Ampezzo but the hotel has a courtesy bus running to/from the lift stations and to/from the centre of town which was fine for us. Alternatively there is a cycle path which you can walk on to get to the centre of town - for a normal walker this takes about 30 mins. Parts of it are not lit so is a bit tricky at night but we did it and it was fine. It also felt really safe. The staff at the hotel were all excellent but a special mention should go to the lovely receptionist (green glasses, sorry I didn't know her name) who was really helpful with advising winter hiking routes each day. We booked a Deluxe Premium room as I thought the Classic rooms looked a bit small. The room was really nice - spacious and comfortable and also had a freestanding bath & good quality toiletries (Acqua di Parma). Cortina d'Ampezzo is an expensive resort, so if you want to stay at a 5 star hotel then you should expect to pay between £400-£500 per night for a decent room. The reason I have given this review 4 stars and not 5 stars is because we felt the breakfast could have been better. It was good but it wasn't amazing. For the price we paid, the selection should have been bigger, with better quality items on the buffet table. If you are looking for a really good hotel with a great pool and spa area, and don't mind being slightly out of the centre, then I would recommend the Faloria hotel.

We stayed at the Faloria Mountain Spa Resort in Cortina d’Ampezzo for a week and it was truly special. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by the warm and professional staff, who went above and beyond to ensure an unforgettable experience. All our requests were accommodated seamlessly. The staff at Faloria is outstanding, and Massimo deserves a special mention. He remembered our breakfast order every morning, ensuring our favorites were ready—especially the delicious walnut tart, which he kindly set aside for me. His attentiveness and genuine care made us feel like valued guests, and he is truly an asset to the Faloria team. The hotel maintains a high standard of cleanliness throughout. Our room was spotless upon arrival, with fresh linens, a well-kept bathroom, and a tidy overall presentation. The common areas, including the spa and restaurant, were also meticulously maintained, adding to the sense of luxury. We booked a Premium Room, and while it was beautifully designed, we did find it a bit cramped for a premium category. The bed was very comfortable, with quality linens and supportive pillows, ensuring a restful night’s sleep. The bathroom was stunning, with a spa-like design, excellent water pressure, and luxurious toiletries. However, one minor issue was the large patio umbrella, which partially obstructed the incredible view of the mountains and the 1956 ski jump from our Room 107—making it difficult to capture the perfect photo. While most of the amenities were great, the Wi-Fi wasn’t very reliable, which was frustrating—especially when my husband needed a stable connection for his business meeting. The spa and pool area were an absolute highlight. The indoor pool is fantastic for swimming laps, and the overall wellness facilities provide a truly relaxing escape after a day of skiing. Everything was impeccably maintained, and the atmosphere was pure tranquility. Faloria is not centrally located, but it’s also not too far from the heart of Cortina—a short 7 to 10-minute drive will get you to town. I actually appreciated the slight distance from the center—it made the resort feel more peaceful and secluded, which I loved. It was the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy the serenity of the alpine setting without the hustle and bustle of town. We dined at the hotel restaurant for two nights, and the food was exceptional. The bean and pasta soup was rich, hearty, and filling, the perfect comfort dish after a long day. And the spaghetti? Absolutely addictive—and that’s coming from someone who isn’t usually a fan of pasta! The restaurant delivers high-quality meals that truly enhance the overall stay. Faloria Mountain Spa Resort offers luxury, comfort, and outstanding service, making it a fantastic choice for those looking for a relaxing stay in Cortina d’Ampezzo. While the room was a bit tight for a premium category, the exceptional hospitality, top-notch spa, and delicious dining made up for it. Highly recommended!

Hotel bello, confortevole, attrezzato con la SPA, all’ingresso di Cortina. Molto bello e funzionale il doppio camino nella hall. Camera molto spaziosa, praticamente una suite, con arredamento da montagna in legno, provvista di tutti i confort e ambienti ben distribuiti. La SPA con buon servizio di massaggi e con una grande piscina, peccato per la temperatura dell’acqua un po’ bassina, idromassaggio anche all’aperto tra la neve. Servizio in camera accurato. Ristorante e bistrot: alcuni piatti molto buoni, altri un poco meno, un po’ contrastante, i maitre molto bravi e preparati. Servizio navetta verso le stazioni sciistiche e qualunque altro luogo desiderato, ottimo. Accettano i cagnolini. Da ritornare

I just left Faloria Hotel with a level of insatisfaction that I can’t even measure. I had the worst treatment in so many ways. I wish I could speak in person but the answer to this demand was a big no and I will have to use some of the previous remaining time of my holidays to write this review. 1 - hotel that seems like a pub. There is a big group that arrived yesterday and the hotel was 100% not prepared to welcome this group AND give the fair treatment to the other guests. The noise was absurd. Really absurd. They were screaming and laughing yesterday and day before yesterday, you can ask the staff of the night, specially the girl in the reception yesterday, and they can confirm. I couldn’t rest in my room. When they checked in the reception seem like a bus station, with barely a place to other guests seat. In the first night I didn’t complain because I tried to be flexible and thought the hotel staff was noticing what happened and someone would address it but no. When I complained yesterday the person in the reception offered me to CHANGE ROOM AT 10pm. How can this possible be comfortable to anyone?! And she said that once I didn’t complain before she didn’t know that this was bothering me. A little bit of sensibility, expected in a 5 starts hotel, would be truly appreciated. Day before yesterday we wanted to eat in the bistro and the answer was the bistro was closed for the group. How come you can only 2 restaurants and 1 is closed because of a group??? The menu was available to eat in the other restaurant but we didn’t want to go in a fancy place, we wanted to have the relax ambience of the bistro and we couldn’t because o this group. The above was enough to already say the hotel really failed in giving us the fair treatment but there was more: - WiFi in the room TERRIBLE, I had to use my 4g all the time. It works for basic things but not to even do a zoom call. - guy in the spa does not speak good English. How I can ask doubts about spa treatments? Chat about this? I didn’t even try. The hotel has the word “spa” in the name but the person in charge can’t communicate deeply with the guests. I don’t understand this. - day before yesterday I went around 8am to ask to the girl in the reception to open the gym for me. She said “the gym only opens at 10am”. I had to tell her that is written in the paper in the entrance of the gym area that guests can request to enter early in the gym, so she opened. She should known this!!! - the room in general is not warm enough, we are in the winter. LASTLY, I wrote an email to the general director with all this issues because I really want a feedback AND NO ONE EVER REPLIED. RUN AWAY FROM THIS HOTEL

What makes this hotel special is the staff attention to details . They make every guest feel special .

Such a lovely hotel with breathtaking views and exceptional service! Everyone is incredibly kind, and the rooms are absolutely gorgeous—every detail feels luxurious. The spa is stunning and offers the perfect space to relax, and the restaurant serves amazing food that completes the experience. Highly recommend for a perfect getaway!
