Cortina d’Ampezzo is the best and probably the more stylish mountain resort in Italy; pity that very few of its expensive five-star establishments offer a Martini worthy of its name. The most famous doesn’t even have a Martini glass to pour it in! Much better, for the Martini connoisseur, to reach the shelter of the bar at Hotel Aquila, strategically placed at the Northern end of the pedestrian-only part of Corso Italia. A well-kept secret amongst Cortina habitués, ***’s Martini is extremely dry, cold and of ample proportions.
