Garni Casa al Sole

We are from Ortisei, we are Ladin, and we are citizens of the world. We know the paths, the roads, even the uncharted territories. We love cycling, walking, skiing, and respecting nature. We have a passion for good drinks and food. We speak five, no, six languages. We are rooted here but, just like roots, stretch out, looking for outsiders to come and keep us company. We have renovated our old home by preserving what has always been there: doors, windows, floors and much more. Whatever is new stands out visually as well as materially from what already existed. We have created a fracture which, at the end of the day, unites different elements. Past and present amalgamate into the future. We are aesthetes and want people who visit us to feel good. The renovation is based on three principles: slowness, calmness, serenity. Our ambition is to make you feel good when you discover how the building’s exterior plaster was created using sandstone from Val Gardena, creating a spectrum of colours ranging from brown and white to red. We want to make you feel at home by making you the light of the home, embracing you in its warmth. We want to capture your attention when explaining that we used crude steel, larch wood, natural stone, clay, felt, and gravel to give this building of ours a new life, deciding not to exaggerate with the colours. We believe the materials themselves are the colours. We cannot wait to welcome you with open arms and say hello to you!
