“Passion and love for their surrounds” – who can blame them – are words that best describe the ethos behind the residency named after the mighty Lagazuoi Mountain. We often hear of “green” concepts and community spirited projects – but here, it is safe to say – this is exactly that – it does what it says on the box in a very simple, but endearing way.

The family has triumphed in creating an idyllic cozy place that still echoes traditional “South Tyrolean” style, but embraces a modern, “human” approach.

This is a place where the homemade jams complement the local farmers cured meats, a place where the mountain inspired spa balances the hikes into the nature pure.

Natural woods abound are offset by local stone, woven fabrics and regional “ bric-a-brac” spell-out the somewhat mystical Ladin culture. Yet it succeeds in being both modern and pastoral in essence, flavoured by the past though the personal touches. The good life indeed.

Edit 3: CHAKRA & CO. - Botanical oils, herbal wraps, long hot soaks and of course a heaps of rural bliss – This is how we do SPA without the pomp, just as nature intended.

An intoxicating mix of gigantic mountains, slow-pace culture and the all important dose of delectable Dolce Vita. Wind down, ski, run, cycle, sleep, brunch when you want to. Whatever your whim, this ECO hideaway adopts a cosy relaxed attitude.
