Agriturismo Degasper Giorgio

The views here are stunning, and the quiet setting was just what I wanted outside busy Cortina town centre. I was cycling in the Dolomites for several days and the host welcomed me warmly, sharing maps for hiking and cycling. The centre was still close enough to walk to. My room stayed wonderfully cool even when it was mid-30C outside. There was plenty of hot water, and it was cleaned daily; the curtains were drawn to keep the heat out. Breakfast had lots on offer and started early enough to beat the later heat and traffic. I’d love to stay again.

The owners were generous and helpful throughout our four-night ski stay at Fattoria Meneguto. They stored our skis, and when taxis weren’t available, the owner even drove my friend and me to the mountain free of charge. The lodge is about 2 miles from the city center, and though we walked most days, it sits on a steep hill. There’s a short hike involved, so it may not suit older people or children. I recommend renting a car. For the cost, this was ideal lodging with fantastic amenities. Breakfast is included, served 7:30-9:30 each morning, with pastries, meats and cheese, fruit, cereal, yogurt, and a coffee machine for various espresso drinks. Our cozy, spacious room had a great view of the alps and a towel warmer that was useful for drying ski gear. I’d definitely recommend the lodge.

Scandalous service. We had agreed in advance that we would arrive late, at 22.30. At 21h37, our plane delay meant we couldn’t make it on time, so I warned the owner. At 22h48 he replied, “Good evening, I won't wait for you, find another place to sleep goodbye.” We arrived at 22h53, five minutes after his email, but he kept the door shut and didn’t reply to our calls or other attempts to reach him. Other guests tried to open it but had no keys and were scared to, saying the owner was weird. I’m pretty sure he knew we were there because we made ourselves clearly heard. We somehow found somewhere safe to stay, but it cost extra. First time dealing with such a ruthless host, and hopefully the last.

Cozy rooms, friendly service, and a view of the mointains. A really nice place to stay 😊
