About this property

Big, open plan, family friendly chalet near to walks, cycling & local amenities

The chalet is located in the heart of The Dolomites Mountain UNESCO World Heritage Site, The Dolomites are regarded as being among the most attractive mountain landscapes in the world.

The house is particularly suitable as a base for cycling, walking and hiking and has been designed to accommodate families / groups of all ages.

“the nicest feature of the property is the large and comfortable living/eating/cooking area … There's plenty of space for up to 8 people to stretch out without ever feeling on top of each other. You're far enough away from the centre of La Villa for the house to be very quiet and peaceful – but close enough to walk to shops, bars and restaurants”

The open plan lay out means you have ample space for socializing and relaxing together as a family or with friends. With two bedrooms upstairs and two downstairs, and 3 well equipped bathrooms, the house also offers each of you your privacy.

There is a fully equipped laundry room with washer and dryer, as well as a huge garage space for all of your sporting items that can accommodate up to 8 bikes.

The property has 4 bedrooms / sleeps 8 comfortably.

The village has everything for your holiday requirements...including an excellent supermarket and every kind of shop from pastries to sports gear. The best thing about La Villa is its central access to a broad range of hiking locations with all the lifts and rifugios open for both summer & winter seasons.

La Villa, Alta Badia, South Tyrol, just 24kms from Brunico and less than 100kms from Bolzano.

Ok place, but not a full house
In the description on-line there is no mentioning of 'a neighbor' and only once you have paid it becomes clear you have not rented 'a house' but only a part of it (and not even the nicest side), and that you are supposed to be very considerate of the 'very private' neighbor. The place is in itself ok, and certainly the bed- and bath rooms and kitchen are fine. I do not understand the fuss about protecting the table and floor in a place you rent out most of the year, but that could be just me... Yet for summer renters please note: the terrace is a bit of a disgrace. Right on the street (you feel like you are sitting on it), no real view (unlike the pictures on the website) and all you get is two (for a place that sleeps 8!!??) uncomfortable deck-chairs and no umbrella. All in all, an ok place, but no value for money.

Great accommodation with enough space for the family
We were there with the whole family. The accommodation is very nice and big. Enough space for everyone. The access to the flat via the garage is very convenient. The access to the slope is optimal. Very friendly and always approachable hosts. The owner took great care of our needs. We will be happy to come again, thank you very much.

About the host

Hosted by J.A. Ker Russell

Host profile image
We are The Russell family. My name is Ker D.O.B 12/10/64, married to Lizzie for what seems like an eternity, but still unbelievably happy (most of the time!). We have 3 kids, Leia, Lily and Louis. All the children have been educated in Italy and are bilingual as is my wife. I speak Italian but not like them, unfortunately, being that I spend long periods of time working in Scotland, which is where we all originate from
We all ski, walk, ride bikes and generally enjoy the outdoors (even with the event of Snapchat, Instagram, WhatsAp and all the other social media that has been invented to ruin my family's time together...however, lets not complain) We are delighted to have had the opportunity to buy and rebuild Casa Zilli. It has changed our lives. We absolutely love it, my family are always at their happiest when we are together as a unit and staying there.

Why they chose this property

Casa Zilli came on the market in 2006, ruined from the outside and completely neglected on the interior. The price was not, however reflected! We took the plunge and decided to invest in what turns out to be a life changing decision. Having spent 5yrs off and on building a large extension and completely gutting the interior and starting again, we now have what can only be described as a wonderful mountain retreat in the summer and a fabulous base for a winter chalet . The surrounding area is really quite breathtaking in all weather. The changes through the seasons are quite incredible. From warm, balmy days in summer, ideal for walking, cycling and hiking, to freezing, clear blue-sky days with fresh white virgin snow in winter, a skiers paradise. That's why we bought this property and it hasn't disappointed yet!

What makes this property unique

This property is one of only a handful of chalets in The Dolomites area that can offer sleeping accommodation for up to 10 people, comfortably! It offers communal living space situated around an open plan kitchen, living room and dining area, finished to a very high standard. The house is right next to the ski pistes in winter and during the summer months accesses all the major walks and hikes in the surrounding area either from the door or with a short drive away.
It offers mountain views from all windows in the living space to underfloor heated bathrooms
The area around the house is probably one of the most special you could expect from a World Heritage Site. Whether you choose to walk, hike, climb, Via Ferratta on the fixed cables, cycle on or off road, ski on or off piste, snow board or simply relax, we promise you won't be disappointed.
Everyone we've ever spoken to, once they've discovered La Villa in The Dolomites, just keep coming back!
