In the chicest part of the Ampezzo Dolomites, a transformation that redefines mountain hospitality
Sunrise in Cortina d'Ampezzo has always had something magical about it. But from Casa Guargnè, the pink light that illuminates the surrounding peaks takes on a different, almost intimate dimension. Here, mountain dwellers once stopped to catch their breath during their journeys, and today there is a renewed atmosphere that transforms your stay into a complete sensory experience. A new, brand-new address that fits gracefully into the journey towards Milan-Cortina 2026.
Home, more than a hotel
Entering Casa Guargnè is more like being welcomed into a private home. It is small, with 11 rooms, but an expansion into an adjacent building is planned for next year. Each room has its own distinct personality, built with warm materials, soft lighting, and furnishings that invite you to linger. The breakfast room, overlooking the valley, is a space for contemplation. The solid wood tables, comfortable chairs, and low lamps create a subtle harmony between inside and outside.
The rooms deserve a special mention: beds covered with mountain-scented linens, simple but complete bathrooms, and body products designed to prolong your well-being. Every detail, discreetly taken care of, contributes to making guests feel pampered. In short, everything a mountain hotel should always do.
A table overlooking the mountains
The cuisine interprets the Ampezzo tradition without succumbing to folklore. The dishes speak the language of the territory, with ingredients sourced from small local producers and reworked using contemporary techniques. Every dinner is a journey through the flavors of the Dolomites: simple, authentic, profound. There is no ostentation, only the desire to recount an Alpine culture that lives in the raw materials and in the measured gestures of those who cook.
Quiet and attentive hospitality
The staff knows the area, the trails, and the rhythms of the seasons. They can recommend an excursion, a panoramic viewpoint at sunset, or a quiet corner to stop and read. It is hospitality that accompanies you without being intrusive.
On the edge, where the view opens up
Casa Guargnè is not in the heart of Cortina, but this is part of its charm, not a flaw. It is located in a secluded but strategic position, where the Tofane mountains seem closer and the Faloria offers light shows that change with the hours. It is the perfect starting point for exploring the Dolomite trails and a natural place to return to for those seeking peace and quiet after a day in nature. In winter, Casa Guargnè is transformed. Snow covers everything in a muffled silence, lit fireplaces warm the rooms, and warm lights filter through the windows. It is the moment when the concept of retreat takes on meaning: not as an escape, but as a return to oneself, through the landscape, slowness, and authentic beauty.
Wellness is coming
During the renovation work, the lower floor spaces give a glimpse of what will be the next chapter in the history of Casa Guargnè. A spa is under construction, promising to complete the wellness offering of the facility. The work, carried out with the same attention to detail that characterizes the entire project, is giving shape to spaces designed for relaxation and regeneration after days spent in the mountains.
From initial observations of the spaces under construction, it is clear that this space will also follow the philosophy of respect for the original architecture. The exposed stone will be enhanced, while new installations will blend harmoniously with the existing structure. It will be a place where physical and spiritual well-being come together, offering guests an opportunity for complete regeneration in the heart of the Dolomites.
New projects must speak the language of the mountains
Casa Guargnè stands out in the Ampezzo hospitality scene with a distinct voice. It offers a refined alternative to traditional hotels. We are in the realm of discreet luxury, a return to our roots. Everything speaks of a love for the mountains. A charming retreat for those seeking authenticity, depth, and genuine contact with the alpine landscape.
