Opening its doors on May 1, 2022, Santre Dolomythic Home is more than a hotel, it is the realized dream of three brothers, a love letter to their homeland, and a destination crafted for those seeking harmony, activity, and culinary excellence. The project is the passion of brothers Andreas, Christian, and Alex Goller, whose deep-rooted connection to the region and shared philosophy of hospitality form the cornerstone of Santre. The name itself communicates their origins: a portmanteau of “San” from Sant’Andrea, the hillside hamlet they call home, and “tre,” the Italian word for three, representing the sibling trio.
This personal touch underscores a commitment to authenticity and familial warmth that permeates the entire guest experience. Every aspect of Santre is curated to fuse seamlessly with its breathtaking environment. The resort’s 62 suites are havens of tranquility, designed with handpicked natural materials and warm, inviting tones. Each suite frames the majestic mountain panorama, ensuring the landscape is a constant, serene companion.
This connection to nature is a defining theme, most strikingly embodied in the 22-meter indoor/outdoor infinity pool. Here, guests can swim with an uninterrupted, panoramic vista of the surrounding peaks, creating a sensation of floating amidst the Alps. The architectural focus on horizon lines continues in the dining room, where sweeping views complement a culinary journey.
The gastronomic offering at Santre is a celebration of South Tyrolean terroir with a contemporary flair. Menus are crafted from fresh, regional ingredients, balancing tradition with innovation. Beyond the restaurant, the experience deepens with exclusive wine and cheese tastings and an elegant lounge with a cocktail bar, perfect for savoring the region’s finest produce.
The holistic approach to well-being extends outdoors to the mythic.garden, featuring a natural swimming lake for refreshing summer dips. The expansive wellness area is designed for complete regeneration. It includes an adults-only sanctuary with a Finnish sauna, a dedicated event space for aromatic Aufguss sessions, a herbal clay sauna, a Turkish bath, a fully-equipped gym, and a relaxation room. A range of beauty treatments and a whirlpool are also available, while a separate area ensures younger guests are also catered to.
True to the Goller brothers’ passion for mountain life, Santre serves as an active hub for exploring the Dolomites. The hotel organizes a dynamic program of guided excursions tailored to the seasons: summer invites hiking, mountain biking, and climbing adventures, while winter transforms the landscape into a paradise for skiing and sledding. These hosted activities, led by expert guides, offer guests an immersive and authentic way to connect with the legendary terrain.
At Santre Dolomythic Home, nothing is left to chance. From the quality of linens and the curation of spa rituals to the knowledge of local guides and the provenance of each plate, an unwavering attention to detail is evident. It is a destination built on a genuine philosophy—where the love for nature, the joy of life’s pleasures, and a profound hospitality converge to create not just a holiday, but a truly memorable experience in the heart of the Alps.
