Elmes is a family-run bed & breakfast in La Villa, in Alta Badia, with a garden and free private parking included in the stay.
The property is aimed at guests looking for a simple, informal base for exploring the Dolomites, whether couples on a romantic getaway or families on an active holiday: guests particularly appreciate the location, rated 9.4 by couples. The rooms, both doubles, come with a private bathroom with shower and hairdryer, wardrobe, heating and a flat-screen TV; one of the two also has a private balcony.
Breakfast, served Italian-style as a buffet, sets guests up before excursions to the Fanes-Sennes-Braies Nature Park, just a few kilometres away, or to the slopes and trails surrounding the village. Free WiFi is available throughout the property, as is on-site private parking, convenient for those arriving by car to reach the surrounding Dolomite passes such as Passo Sella and Passo Pordoi.
Elmes offers two types of double room, both designed for stays as a couple with a maximum capacity of two guests. Each room has a French double bed, a private bathroom complete with shower and hairdryer, a wardrobe or closet and a flat-screen TV, ensuring a practical, hassle-free stay even for short breaks between excursions in Alta Badia.
The main difference between the two options is the presence of a balcony: the Double Room with Balcony offers a private outdoor space overlooking the surrounding greenery, while the standard Double Room favours functionality and compactness, while still keeping all the essential comforts. Both rooms share access to the property’s communal garden and free private parking, an advantage not to be taken for granted in a mountain destination like La Villa.

The outdoor garden offers a green corner to relax in between excursions, in a property that is entirely non-smoking and focused on order and tranquillity.

Elmes is located in La Villa, one of the villages that make up Alta Badia, in a quiet residential area along Strada Cianins, just a few minutes’ walk from the village centre. The setting is typical of the Dolomite valleys: meadows, conifer woods and the rocky Dolomite peaks forming a backdrop in every direction, with Piz Cunturines, which reaches almost 3,064 metres, visible about 5 km away.
For those without a car, the first useful spots are within walking distance: Enoteca L’Vin is 350 metres away, the restaurant L’Fanà just over 350 metres away and Utia la Fraina about 400 metres away. The slopes and lifts of Alta Badia, connected to the Dolomiti Superski circuit, are easily reached by car, as are Passo Sella and Passo Pordoi, both about 24 km away. Bolzano Airport is 72 km away, a useful reference for those arriving by rental car after a flight.
The location works well both in winter, with alpine and cross-country skiing close at hand, and in summer, when hiking and walks to the Fanes-Sennes-Braies Nature Park, just 3.5 km away, take over, an protected area rich in marked trails and scenic viewpoints. Passo di Falzarego, around 10 km away, is also a classic destination for those wanting to venture into the neighbouring Venetian Dolomites, while Lake Sorapis, further away, remains a half-day trip for trekking enthusiasts.
Guests particularly praise the cleanliness and helpfulness of the staff, both rated 9.3, and the free WiFi, with a top score of 10. Location and value for money also receive good ratings, while amenities are the relatively weaker point.
