📍 Little Gem N° 010 | VINTAGE ALPINE STYLE
In 1930, Cesco Kostner transformed a small house into the first guesthouse in the village, holding the distinguished license number 1. This quaint building, among the oldest buildings in the village, offers magnificent views of Mount Sassongher. Here, the past softly and subtly blends into the present. Every step across the wooden floors brings a quiet creak, and the simple decorations add a magical touch, especially when the room is filled with sunlight, creating a cozy, warm atmosphere. Time seems to pause, offering a peaceful escape. To many, it’s more than just a house – it’s seen as a comforting retreat for both body and mind. The Costa Family is dedicated to preserving this enchanting atmosphere day in and day out.
The Cozy Rooms
The thirteen rooms at the inn, featuring timber and wood panels, are exceptionally cozy. They bear the names Dolasilla, Lujanta, Moltina, and Sommavida, paying tribute to the heroines of Ladin legends, who were princesses and queens in the mythical Fanes Kingdom. Each room offers a snug and intimate setting, reflecting the traditional Alpine and Ladin mountain homes, yet no two rooms are exactly alike. Options vary from double beds to twin beds, and there are even single beds available for solo travelers. Despite its charm, the inn does have one notable limitation: it's not designed with young children in mind. To ensure a pleasant stay for all guests, the inn warmly welcomes families with children aged 10 and older.
