B&B Villa Pattis

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Pattis during the Christmas holiday, despite the shortage of snow for skiing and sledding on the mountains. The location up in the hills above Vipiteno/Sterzing is convenient and quiet, offering a gorgeous view of the surrounding mountains and the town below. We enjoyed the mile-long walk to the ski area (Monte Cavallo) each day, but it probably would have been difficult if there had been snow on the ground, as parts of the walk are somewhat steep. The villa itself has recently been renovated and is clean, comfortable, and modern. We didn't get a chance to use the pool, which is closed during the winter, but we can easily imagine that this would be a perfect setting for a relaxing vacation during the summer. The breakfast is excellent and includes plenty of bread, pastries, prosciutto, cheese, yogurt, cereal, fruit, and beverages. The owners are warm, welcoming, helpful, and flexible; they even offered to serve breakfast early on the day of our departure so that we could catch our train. We hope to return someday to try the 10-km toboggan trail at Monte Cavallo!
