Aretia
Silvia never runs out of these two things. She takes care of you even before your holiday begins and welcomes you with warmth and an understanding of what you need.
She loves inspiring people and sharing useful tips.
Her place of power? Sëurasas, with its panoramic view over the Val Gardena valley.
He helped design the Aretia with his own hands - for example with lamps he carved himself from South Tyrolean walnut wood.
At breakfast in the morning, he offers the best tips for your holiday in Santa Cristina.
He loves spending time on Mont de Sëura, his personal retreat in the mountains.
A love of their home, nature and attention to detail - as well as for each other.
Silvia & Emanuel live what they want to pass on: lightness and a genuine joy of life.
At Aretia, the place where they and their guests can flourish.
After 15 years together, we have lovingly redesigned our house: with natural materials, soft colours, handmade wooden details and plenty of space to spend time together.
We bring the tranquillity of the mountains indoors. You can simply be yourself and recharge your batteries. Together, too.
Nothing has to be. Everything is possible. In your holiday apartment in the Dolomites, there is room for both closeness and freedom.
Forget time as you blossom together.
That is Aretia - living & breakfast.
In our new and modern apartments, you can live in your own terms - in the middle of the mountains, the freedom to do as you please, with looooots of space.
But shhh... we will let you in on a secret: we love our breakfast moments! They create space for conversation. That is why breakfast is optional here.
If you like, you can find more than just energy for the day here. You will also find Silvia's smile, Emanuel's stories about Val Gardena and genuine recommendations for hikes, skiing days and quiet retreats.
With us, you can discover the Dolomites in your own way: actively, off the beaten track.
The small Aretia flower grows high up in the Alps. White and pink, delicate, yet full of strength.
More than 50 years ago, Emanuel's father Othmar chose the Aretia as the namesake for the house.
Today, it is back to accompany you throughout your holiday in Santa Cristina: whether in the bedroom, in the bathroom, in the hallway.
Take your time, look closely. Perhaps you will recognise the message it is trying to convey:
You are here to blossom, to simply be, to get a little closer to the mountains.
Just like the Aretia.
Aretia - living & breakfast - your place in the Dolomites, where life can be easy.
As light as a petal.
