We discovered the Corona in December 2022 and since then it has become our must-do for skiing holidays. Please note that in spite of owning a flat in a village nearby Cortina we decide to spend at least a couple of weeks at the Corona in San Vigilio di Marebbe. I can’t imagine of a more comfortable stay: we stayed in a large triple with two bathroom facilities and a large balcony with a view of the ski slopes. Towels are changed daily and the cleaning is truly impeccable. In the morning, breakfast is provided with a wide variety of sweet and salted food, fruit juices, teas and coffee. Upon request, you may be served even hot chocolate. After spending the whole day skiing, a snack is served at 5 pm with soup, sandwiches and home-made Strüdel. An always-different daily menu is proposed for dinner, with options for vegetarians. Exhilarating desserts are all homemade by Rosmary, the landlady of the hotel. I started this review with food because, especially when travelling with family, it’s one of the most important issues (my husband has plenty of food allergies but invariably found satisfactory options), nevertheless let me say a word also on the rest. The spa is a special place. Manuela and her colleagues are at disposal upon request for the most advanced treatments (my daughter aged 16 waits to go there to have her facials done). The pool, saunas, hamams and other facilities are an oasis of wellness. The fireplace close to the tea-room is in use every afternoon - my favourite place for my daily mindfulness retirement. Professionalism of the staff is granted by Robert’s careful attention (the landlord), whose spotless discretion is only won by the desire to let guests be aware of the beauties of the surrounding environment: a native of San Vigilio himself, he has a profound and heartfelt knowledge of the town’s history and of the hotel building itself. The Corona is located at the very center of the picturesque town of San Vigilio di Marebbe, one of the nicest spots of the Dolomites. This February, work appointments made it impossible to stay more than 5 days and… we kind of missed the full feeling of our usual “settimana bianca”. That’s why we have decided to spend at the Corona even Ferragosto! What more could I say?
