In Belluno, Naturalpina Dolomiti is a unique flower farm in Italy. A botanical microcosm combining an atelier where artisanal creations and cutting-edge skincare are created, an aromatic garden, a farmhouse with charming lofts, and an academy where you can experience the regenerating and decorative power of plants and flowers.
Near the center of Belluno lies an enchanted world, so beautiful it almost seems unreal. A place where a love of flowers, the Dolomites, and botany come together in a wellness and hospitality project born from the dream of entrepreneur Alice Pedon after a life spent in the fashion industry.
Naturalpina Dolomiti is a unique experience in Italy, combining a cutting-edge skincare line, a charming loft-style farmhouse, an aromatic garden, and a botanical academy where you can rediscover the therapeutic power of medicinal plants and the decorative power of flowers.
I dreamed of life on a farm, in contact with nature, a place where I could grow all the beauty and goodness that our Dolomites have to offer.
(Alice Pedon)
Alice in “her” Wonderland
From this dream, Alice, with her beautiful family, found an ancient farmland just outside Belluno and, step by step, planted medicinal herbs, an apple orchard, and an aromatic garden and vegetable garden, creating a farm built using green building techniques.
Opened in 2016, today Naturalpina is an Alpine wellness atelier based on the concept of a “very short supply chain” and circular sustainability: each plant is grown according to organic farming principles, hand-picked at the perfect balsamic time, and artisanally processed to preserve the active ingredients intact. A perfect combination of the purity of nature and product innovation that gives life to food products and customizable creative objects inspired by nature.
The Aromatic Garden
The beating heart of Naturalpina is its scenic botanical garden: a natural amphitheater where over fifty species of aromatic plants and edible flowers—such as lavender, marigold, chamomile, mallow, and many other alimurgic and medicinal plants—grow caressed by the pure mountain air.
The garden borders the organic apple orchard, where modern, resistant varieties and six rare, ancient varieties from the mid-19th century are grown, making juices, crisps, and fruit compotes. Furthermore, at 1,780 meters above sea level, near Cortina in the heart of the UNESCO Dolomites, Alice has also created a high-altitude garden with the precious Edelweiss, used in the Naturalpina Dolomite Botanicals line.
The Farmhouse and Botanical Loft
For those seeking total immersion in nature, Naturalpina offers a charming hospitality experience at its farmhouse.
The property features a loft where local wood and large windows create a seamless connection with the Dolomite landscape. Guests can wake to the scent of hay and medicinal herbs, enjoy organic products, and relax on loungers in the garden overlooking the mountains.
The Herbarium and Botanical Experiences
Inside the Naturalpina barn is the Herbarium, a two-story structure with a large portico. It houses the Botanical Academy, where Alice and her team organize workshops and immersive experiences. It’s also an ideal space for private events, photo shoots, and courses.
There are so many experiences that can be booked and customized:
Educational farm activities: guided tours of the vegetable gardens, gardens, and farm animals, including bunnies and ducks, as well as tastings of infusions and juices.
Herbalism Workshops: hands-on courses to learn how to create personalized infusions, ointments, and herbal teas.
Sensory Experiences: Guided relaxation trails among the aromatic vines and in the nearby forest with a stream for olfactory forest bathing and footbaths.
Decorative Workshops: From garlands to aroma sachets, there are many courses to learn how to create beauty with flowers.
Each product is prepared in the Naturalpina Laboratory, located next to the Shop, where the process involves meticulous hand-picking, flower by flower, followed by natural drying and the creation of customized blends and recipes.
The Herb Shop and the Skincare Line
Naturalpina’s Herb Shop embodies the perfect synthesis of Alice’s work: hand-picked flowers and plants become a high-end skincare line, natural wellness products, and premium projects dedicated to customizable products for every occasion and for hospitality.
Face, Body, and Hair Skincare: moisturizing creams, anti-aging serums, soothing emulsions, shampoos, and conditioners
Essential Oils: steam-distilled, they capture the purest and most therapeutic essence of high-altitude plants

Home Line: natural air fresheners that bring the atmosphere of the Dolomite forests directly into your home

Naturalpina is a unique place in Italy, not only for its beauty, but above all for its vision of rigorous immersive wellness and the ongoing botanical research for which Alice is a spokesperson and international advocate.
The Secret
Naturalpina embodies two souls: Alice’s childhood love for the edelweiss, now a symbol and key ingredient of her product lines, and a profound respect for the local area. It’s no coincidence that the atelier’s walls were built using wood recovered from the debris of Storm Vaia. A Dolomite microcosm where design meets the rebirth of nature.
