“Welcoming, cozy, clean, homely , kindness.”
It was welcoming and homely. I was informed about a hike that was taking place and I was welcome to reach out the private guide. It was such a lovely experience and connected wonderfully with the locals. Then we had an amazing diner with drinks at Fornas. That made the whole experience so memorable and special. Thank you so much !!!

“Very rewarding experience”
I think it was one of the best experiences so far, i liked everything - the place where this refuge is located between the mountains, the food (mega good), the fact that there is no phone signal and internet is also slow (an advantage from my point of view, occasion to disconnect from technology), and not to mention the hosts, really really nice people, eager to help and to explain, very hard working. I wish i could come back sometime, it was very pleasant experience for us. I highly recommend it !

This accomodation exceeded our expectations. The host was wery nice and helpful, the area is just magical and the food and drinks were delicious, also the breakfast. We will surely return and not only for 1 night on the way back home. There are many hike trips just around, beautiful garden with children playground, the nature is so green an fresh even in summer, the temperature was around 21 degrees what we liked a lot after spending few days by the sea. We loved everything!

“Relaxing and inclusive.”
We had a lovely peaceful and relaxing stay. Our room was comfortable and we loved leaving the windows open and listening to the chatter of people, especially the children with the soothing Italian language, also we loved listening to the excellent Italian music played. It made us feel so calm and peaceful. We had delicious breakfasts and dinners. Most of all we felt included in a big family/community mountain home. Anna helped me so much with my Italian. We will always remember the warm relaxed feel of this place! There are great walks to do from here and amazing views and lovely kind locals too!

We checked in last minute and the owner was very kind and welcoming. A real gem in the mountains. We slept super well and the breakfast the day after with homemade baked cakes was excellent. Totally recommended it.

“Great rural location and restaurant with excellent traditional food.”
We arrived to find a great atmosphere in the bar, as there was live music and locals enjoying a traditional celebration. There was an excellent menu choice in the restaurant for what proved to be a very good evening meal. Breakfast choice was good.

We were amazed by everything, food was the best, hosts were so charming and welcoming, location was perfect, away from all the people, we went on an absolutely beautiful hike. Thank you, Anna, for the nicest drawn by hand map. We recommend staying in this magical place. Dreaming about experiencing this magic again.
