Rifugio Gardeccia

The dog bit through the first layer of my two pairs of pants and left a large bruise on my backside when it attacked me as I opened the refuge door to check in. I only noticed the small sign warning about a dog afterward, and it didn't say the dog was aggressive. With just one layer of pants, or shorts, I could have had broken skin or worse. I understand having a guard dog, but an animal that immediately attacks where guests are staying is dangerous. That entrance should be locked or the dog kept on a leash. Someone has gotten seriously hurt over this, or will. After I screamed, a person from the front desk came through the door. He didn't apologize after hearing what happened, and made me feel unwelcome. I was really taken aback. I should have told him right away that the dog had bitten me badly, but his reaction made me uncomfortable. I didn't bring it up in person later either, because the place is isolated and my friend and I were the only guests that night. This happened two weeks ago and has really affected my rating.
