About this property
Rising quietly from the slopes of Villanders, Casa Alpina is an 11th-century farmhouse that feels woven into the very fabric of the South Tyrolean mountains. Push open the wooden shutters and breathe in views of the Dolomites, their jagged peaks softened by alpine light.
Inside, hand-carved walls and weathered beams speak of centuries past, while curated interiors, Pierre Frey fabrics, Antonio Lupi washrooms, and a blue enamel De Manincor range, create a rich, tactile experience. The living spaces unfold like chapters: a snug reading nook tucked beneath slanted timber rafters, a traditional ‘Stube’ warmed by a masonry stove, and a kitchen where vaulted ceilings echo the aroma of fresh espresso and woodsmoke. There are three charming bedrooms, offering your own private oasis in this characterful home.
Step outside and wander through the wildflower-strewn meadow, dip into the icy cold plunge after a morning in the Finnish sauna or stretch out on a hay bed with nothing but blue sky above. Sheep graze in the courtyard, birds call from the trees, and the silence is interrupted only by a nearby mountain stream. Whether it’s climbing high into the peaks or sipping a glass of wine beside the fire, Casa Alpina invites you to slow down and reconnect, body, soul, and senses.
Perched at 1,200 metres above sea level, Casa Alpina sits at the gateway to the Dolomites in the village of Villanders, South Tyrol. Here, time moves at the pace of nature, with forest trails and alpine pastures unfolding in every direction. Just minutes from the lodge, the Villanderer Alm and Seiser Alm offer scenic hiking and cycling routes, ideal for both family strolls and full-day adventures.
In the village itself, you’ll find small bakeries, traditional inns, and charming cafés that capture the essence of Tyrolean hospitality. South Tyrol is steeped in history, and the region’s heritage is woven into every stone wall and church steeple. The nearby town of Klausen, with its cobbled streets and Benedictine monastery, is a cultural treasure worth exploring. Whether you’re seeking quiet immersion or high-altitude excitement, Casa Alpina places you right at the heart of South Tyrol’s natural and historical riches.
