CASA COOK OPENS FIRST ITALY HOTEL IN MADONNA DI CAMPIGLIO
CASA COOK MADONNA: A STYLISH NEW MOUNTAIN RETREAT IN THE DOLOMITES
The Dolomites don’t exactly lack for drama. Craggy peaks, valleys straight out of a fairy tale, and villages that look like they were built for a Christmas card. But now the mountains have a new star attraction: Casa Cook Madonna, the brand’s first mountain retreat and its debut property in Italy.
Open from August, this adults-only hideaway in Madonna di Campiglio offers a fresh take on alpine luxury: design-led, intimate, and crucially, laid-back enough that you don’t feel you need to own a chalet or a Moncler catalogue to fit in.
Design With Soul
Each Casa Cook property shares a DNA of stripped-back luxury: earthy palettes, natural textures, spaces that feel curated rather than manufactured. Here, that aesthetic has been filtered through the Dolomites. Think stone and dark timber offset with linen and wool; sleek lines softened with raw fabrics.
The result is a 50-room boutique retreat that feels more like a stylish mountain lodge than a “resort.” Sustainability runs through the design too, with locally sourced materials, thermal insulation, and organic textiles creating a space that feels rooted in its setting rather than imposed on it.
Wellness in the Wilderness
The spa and sauna are built for winter recovery and summer reset alike. Guests can expect yoga sessions to loosen ski legs, holistic treatments to “promote longevity” (wellness speak for not feeling like you’re 84 the morning after a hike), and a gym for those who can’t go a day without reminding themselves they’re on holiday but disciplined.
And then there’s the boot room, not just a place to dump skis, but a stylish, functional hub that sets the tone for the whole experience: considered, thoughtful, and properly tailored to the rhythms of mountain life.
Dining, Michelin-Style
No Casa Cook would be complete without a restaurant worth staying in for. At Madonna, the menu has been curated by three Michelin-starred chef Jacob Jan Boerma, whose cooking takes local Dolomite traditions and polishes them into something worthy of the Alps’ most stylish guests. And if that isn’t enough, the surrounding village is dotted with additional Michelin-starred options. This is Italy, after all, even the après-ski can be fine dining.
The Seasons Decide the Adventure
Winter brings snowshoe hikes, glacier trails, and some of Europe’s finest ski slopes just three minutes from the hotel. Summer transforms the region into a playground of emerald trails, shimmering lakes, rock-climbing routes, and wine tastings.
In town, boutique shops showcase local craftsmanship, offering everything from artisan woodwork to exclusive fashion pieces. It’s the kind of destination where even buying a scarf feels like a cultural experience.
Why This Matters
Casa Cook Madonna isn’t trying to reinvent the alpine wheel. It’s doing something subtler: bringing the brand’s philosophy of “laid-back luxury” to a mountain setting. That means design that feels authentic, experiences that feel connected to place, and just enough polish to make you want to linger.
For Casa Cook, known for its beachside sanctuaries in Rhodes, Samos, and Mykonos, this Dolomites outpost marks a new direction, one that swaps surfboards for skis but keeps the brand’s DNA intact.

The Bottom Line
Casa Cook Madonna is the Dolomites dressed with edge and ease: the ski lodge gone boutique, the alpine escape pared back to its essentials, the Italian mountain retreat that quietly insists on quality without fuss.
It’s proof that luxury doesn’t always need chandeliers or grand lobbies. Sometimes it’s a stone wall, a wool throw, a view of the peaks, and a Michelin-starred dinner after a day on the slopes. And really, isn’t that all you need?
