Post Hotel

Imagine this: you and your five best girlfriends embarking on the ultimate ski getaway in Italy. Just the thought of it feels like pure magic. And what’s a fairytale vacation without a “castle”? While the Post Hotel may not be one in the literal sense, every inch of it exudes royal luxury wrapped in the warmth of home. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by the crackling of a wood-burning fireplace and a staff so genuinely kind that they soon felt like family. Our rooms? Spacious, impeccably clean, and thoughtfully prepared. Plush baskets filled with robes and towels awaited us for our spa days. Each of us had our own special requests—mine was a balcony, where I spent every morning and evening breathing in the crisp Dolomite air and soaking in the breathtaking beauty around me. The magic didn’t stop there. Each night was an experience of its own. Imagine sipping cocktails and enjoying appetizers right in the kitchen, mingling with the culinary artists behind our meals. Or unwinding in one of the cozy lounges, where the hotel’s owners—who have cared for this gem for generations—welcomed us as if we were long-lost family. Then came dinner. Seven exquisite courses. Each more incredible than the last. I’ve dined at Michelin-starred restaurants, but nothing compared to the culinary brilliance we experienced here. Every bite was an adventure, every dish a masterpiece. We laughed, we savored, we created memories over each course. The dining staff was incredibly attentive, and by the end of our stay, we weren’t just guests—we were part of something special. And oh, the drinks! The wine list was exceptional, with pairings so perfectly curated they felt like magic. But the real showstopper? The cocktails. Watching the bartender craft each one with precision and creativity was mesmerizing. They weren’t just drinks; they were works of art—stunning, delicious, unforgettable. Mornings at the Post began with an indulgent breakfast spread, both savory and sweet—fueling us for the adventures ahead. And adventure was everywhere. Step outside the Post Hotel and straight into the heart of San Candido. Quaint shops, charming cafés, historic cathedrals—it was like stepping into a postcard. But we were here to ski, and ski we did! The Post had everything covered: heated ski storage, a shuttle to the nearby slopes, and even emailed us bus and train passes upon arrival—making it seamless to explore. On our non-ski days, the staff had endless recommendations, from castle visits to hidden gems we never would have found on our own. One unforgettable highlight? A full-moon snowshoe hike. The stillness of the night, the glow of the moon on the snow—it was pure magic, a moment that will live in my heart forever. I could write a novel about our time at the Post Hotel, but no words will ever truly do it justice. This isn’t just a place to stay—it’s an experience, a feeling, a memory waiting to be made. The staff ended up naming us the sunshine girls, and who couldn't be filled with sunshine in this magical place? You just have to go and see for yourself. ✨🏔️
