    Exceptional location (right near the cable cars). The included breakfast was so delicious. Perfect for a nice short stay! They also had a communal kitchenette so you could heat up any food you wanted to during the day.

    Great location when walking a variant of the via alpini and taking the cable car down from First. the room was clean and the beds comfortable. We liked the little sitting area downstairs for a picnic dinner. It was also close to the VOI supermarket
