Sotciastel Apartment

The oldest farm in Alta Badia - brought to new and exclusive life in 2020.

Hundreds of years ago, the first people who settled here were looking for a safe but exposed place with much sun and a view over the whole valley. In the distance, they saw the imposing Marmolada glacier and the Gardenaccia massif even then. Seven hundred years later, it is you who are allowed to discover this magical place - in the absolute peace and security of the Sotciastel house.

Hildegard needs to let the Ladin tradition live on in her house. Then she spared neither effort nor expense to maintain and restore everything. The design of the house and the furnishings underline the historical style. Natural materials and colours harmonize with the original furniture and panelling. The guest can actively participate in the community on the farm - whether cooking, baking or feeding the animals early in the morning. The owner attaches great importance to homemade products such as jams, cakes, bacon and cheese for breakfast.

Live like in the past, but at the ultimate top comfort level.

The court has been first mentioned by name in 1276 in a document from the Castel Badia monastery in Brunico.

The Sotciastel farm is located on a small plateau above San Leonardo, with a view over the valley as far as the Marmolada glacier.

Those who are looking for peace, nature and the authentic will not forget this piece of earth.

A delicious breakfast is prepared in the open kitchen every morning, a tea break in the afternoon.

For the five rooms, we have used the same natural materials throughout, which underline the unique traditional style of the house. Loden, and especially linen, was materials used in very different ways.

All the decorations and the pictures in the house come from the old stock. We have restored them, sometimes only re-framed.

A highlight is a sauna in the ancient substructure of the house.
