Located in the heart of South Tyrol’s breathtaking landscape, Valle Alpina unites the refined modernity of Villa Camomilla with the architectural elegance of Villa Optima, creating a luxurious dual - villa retreat for groups of up to sixteen guests. Blending contemporary design, traditional craftsmanship, and the serene beauty of the Dolomites, Valle Alpina offers a uniquely versatile setting for families, friends, and multi - generational gatherings seeking both connection and privacy. Across both villas, interiors are shaped by natural wood, muted palettes, and clean architectural lines that celebrate light, space, and tranquillity. Thoughtfully arranged over three levels each, the properties feature a series of open - plan living spaces, quiet reading corners, expansive terraces, and panoramic viewpoints that frame the vineyards and mountains beyond. Works by acclaimed local artist Manfred Mayr and the architectural vision of Prof. Walter Angonese infuse the villas with South Tyrolean identity, giving Valle Alpina a rare sense of place.
Villa Camomilla, accommodating up to ten guests, radiates warmth through its inviting open - plan living area with fireplace, family - style dining table, and sleek kitchen flowing out to a pergola - covered terrace created by Mayr. Four en - suite bedrooms, additional lounges, and balconies offer both comfort and seclusion. Outside, an infinity pool with chlorine - free brine water overlooks the vineyards, while a Mediterranean herb garden, private sauna, and wine cellar encourage deep relaxation and convivial evenings.
Villa Optima, designed for up to six guests, is an elegant retreat where architecture meets landscape. Its top - floor master suite features a freestanding bathtub and sweeping views, while the open - plan living and dining area opens to a wisteria - shaded terrace that embodies the South Tyrolean dolce vita. A sheltered whirlpool, Mediterranean garden, and saltwater pool—heated on request—enhance the outdoor experience, with the historic centre of Kaltern just a short stroll away.
Together, these two villa residences offer a rare combination of space, luxury, and versatility. Guests can unwind in private suites or gather in shared spaces; swim between two pools; enjoy wellness amenities ranging from saunas to whirlpools; wander through Mediterranean gardens; or step out to explore Kaltern’s wine culture, Lake Kaltern, and the Mendel mountain trails.
Set in the heart of South Tyrol’s wine country, Valle Alpina enjoys a privileged position between the gentle slopes of Kaltern’s vineyards and the dramatic silhouettes of the Dolomites. This sun - drenched region blends Alpine freshness with Mediterranean warmth, creating an inviting atmosphere in every season. From the villas, guests can wander into the historic centre of Kaltern, a charming village where cobbled lanes lead to wine cellars, artisan shops, and family - run cafés serving regional specialities. The landscape around Valle Alpina is alive with colour - emerald vines in summer, golden forests in autumn, and crisp, clear vistas in winter. Just a short drive or leisurely stroll away lies Lake Kaltern, one of the warmest bathing lakes in the Alps and a focal point for swimming, paddleboarding, and relaxed afternoons by the water. Scenic paths wind around the lake and through the surrounding vineyards, ideal for walking or cycling at any pace. For more active days, the Mendel Pass and nearby Dolomite peaks offer a wide range of hiking routes, from panoramic ridge walks to gentle woodland trails. Visitors can also take the historic Mendelbahn funicular for sweeping valley views. In winter, the region transforms into a peaceful alpine playground, with nearby ski areas, snowshoe trails, and festive Christmas markets in Bolzano. Whether guests seek outdoor adventure, culinary discovery, or quiet moments in nature, Valle Alpina offers effortless access to South Tyrol’s most captivating experiences, all from a setting of serene, natural beauty.
