Contarsela

A sin must be confessed immediately. For years at the reception we always made the same bad joke, before they arrived at the hotel. “Will it rain again this year?” The bad luck has haunted the Babiej gentlemen for years…

We like to call it “green lung”, our garden where there is a swimming pool. It gives the idea because it is closed on 3 sides by our structure, therefore in the middle, and representative of our idea of a…

They are Martina, born in 2001, and Rachele, 2004. Waitress the first, “Jolly” at the Bar and Roulotte Bar the second. Martina came to us after the season began, last year. Thanks to all the doubts related to Covid we…

She came to the reception, all happy and with photographic documentation. What a surprise you gave us, Viviane! At that time (she was running in 1963) she was 15, on vacation with friends of her parents, at Brione with the…

The most interesting curiosities often arise by chance. One morning I was trying to write a list of why the location of our hotel could be considered an added value. The “location” is almost always mentioned in reviews as well. To say…

I thought a lot, a lot, before coming to make such a painful decision. My candy shop, Albumi, has to stop. Enough macarons, red velvet, meringues, mignons, fruit tarts, truffles, vegan muffins and unconventional desserts. For very little, I swear. But…
