Uniqueness
Balconies face the Sella massif, Piz Lavarella, and Monte Croce. The village of La Villa sits between the Puez-Odle and Fanes-Senes-Braies nature parks, both UNESCO World Heritage sites. Ski lifts stand a few steps from the front door. In summer, the same peaks glow pink at dusk while guests eat on the terrace.
The Rinna Mellauner family has run this house for three generations. In the early 1960s, grandmother Giuditta and her five children rented two rooms to survive, sleeping in the store while guests stayed. That blacksmith's home is now a 4-star hotel, but the family still treats it as home. Ladin recipes, local stone, and a deep commitment to the alpine ecosystem shape every detail. Three generations, same dedication.
