Our hotel is a reflection of who we are: dynamic, authentic, and constantly evolving. Thanks to a close-knit team, we welcome each guest in a unique way, creating a personalized experience. Between comfort, nature, and sustainability, we want you to truly feel at home in the heart of the Dolomites.

Different yet complementary

Manfred & Francesca

Opposite personalities that complete each other: one outgoing, relaxed, practical, and spontaneous; the other elegant, rational and perfectionist. What unites us is our drive to take on challenges, grow, and constantly evolve. This combination of personalities and visions is reflected in every detail of our hotel and in the hospitality experience we offer – made of harmonious contrasts, genuine care, and the ongoing pursuit of the perfect balance between comfort and spontaneity.

Hospitality

Philosophy & hospitality

No two guests are alike, and neither is their idea of a perfect holiday. You are not the same guest who just checked out, and we don’t want to offer you a standardized experience. Our dynamic approach allows us to interact with each guest in a direct and unique way, getting to know them and adapting to their vision of vacation and comfort – creating a truly personalized experience. To us, this is the true meaning of hospitality.

Sustainability

A eco-sustainable Hotel

We care deeply about the environment and the Dolomites, and we recognize that protecting them is both an obligation and a necessity. That’s why we strive to act responsibly, respecting the environment and its resources. We are aware that tourism significantly impacts the delicate balance of this region, and we are committed to finding an eco-friendly path that harmonizes sustainability and tourism. It’s not an easy journey, and we often face inevitable contradictions. But we try.

A historic Hotel in the Dolomites

A lifetime commitment

The hotel was founded 55 years ago by Ida and Luis. Managed by them with the help of their six children, it has always been more than just a job. As the siblings took different paths in life, Manfred stayed and naturally evolved the hotel. It is not just a business – it is his life, what he has always done and what comes naturally to him. This effortless approach defines his relationship with guests and inspires the entire team.

Team

Together, we are unstoppable

What would we be without our team? They are our hands, our eyes, and our smiles wherever we can’t be. We work side by side for months, seven days a week, sharing hard work, achievements, and countless moments of camaraderie. If you ever hear laughter behind the scenes, it's just our way of keeping spirits and energy high – because we believe that a happy environment always translates into genuine and passionate hospitality.
