Today is Stella Stern not just a hotel, but a cozy cool A home you return to after a trip. Cozy cool? Yes. Ultimate cool and contemporary because of the looks and the coziness that have remained the same for years and are therefore wonderfully timeless. And therefore contemporary. And therefore cool.

Ulli and her sister Veronica have adapted the rooms to their own taste, while retaining the original identity and warm atmosphere of the family hotel. The swimming pool was one of the first to be built on the first floor – a groundbreaking project their grandfather commissioned in the early 70s. Memories keep the bar alive, and the hall is reminiscent of a private living room. Here, there are no visitors, only vrienden is the credo.

The local suppliers are also friends and that's great: the breakfast buffet is full of pure, authentic flavors. The lake, Carezza lakeThe area near the hotel is beautiful (it seems to catch the tears of the two giant mountains next to the lake), and in the summer months you'll experience every shade of green. There's such a tranquility in the nature here, it's actually indescribable. You can fly to Bolzano, 26 km from the hotel. Does this gem cost a fortune? For once, not the world (in the world of unaffordable ski resort hotels): prices vary depending on the (high) season, but we saw 250 euros for a room for two plus an extra bed for the little one in December…
