The House

An old hay barn, rebuilt slowly.

We found the site in 2019, a stone hay barn above the tree line, with a view that stopped conversation.

We rebuilt it slowly, with larch from the valley and stone from the river.

Every room faces the range. Every window frames a season. There is no lobby, no queue, no schedule.

Only a rhythm, set by light, weather and appetite.

Mornings are for the trail. Afternoons belong to the baths.

Evenings end at one long table, with whatever the fire gives us.

We came for three nights and stayed six. The house quietly rearranges your sense of time.

Questions

Everything you need to know.

Fly to Verona or Bolzano; we can arrange a private transfer (about ninety minutes) or collect you from Trento station. The last twenty minutes are uphill and beautiful.

Yes, the house welcomes guests aged fourteen and over. It keeps the baths, the trails and the long table calm for everyone.

Breakfast at the long table, the baths and sauna, the morning guided walk, and firewood for your stove. Dinner at BRASA and residency weeks are booked separately.

Thursday to Sunday, by reservation. We hold a handful of tables each service for the valley, book early, especially in autumn.

No. The house runs a shuttle to the trailheads twice a day, the village is a twenty-minute walk downhill, and the guides leave from the door.

We sit at 1,850 metres. Most guests feel nothing at all, we still keep the first day gentle, the water close and the coffee strong.
