Stella Alpina

Stella Alpina is a family-run guest house located in Paularo, in Carnia, about 15 km from the Terme di Arta and 43 km from the Nassfeld ski area. The entirely non-smoking property offers a small number of carefully detailed rooms, designed for those seeking a peaceful stay in an authentic mountain setting.

The rooms, with views of the surrounding mountains and, in some cases, of the river, are equipped with a private bathroom, desk, flat-screen TV, minibar and electric kettle. Some room types have a balcony, a detail that makes the stay even more enjoyable during the milder months of the year.

Breakfast, served every morning, offers continental and buffet options, a good starting point before heading out to explore the Passo del Cason di Lanza or visit the Zuglio Roman Forum. Parking is free and WiFi is included throughout the property, which stands out for its attentive service and staff, as confirmed by the very high ratings left by guests.

Family-run guest house in Paularo, among the mountains of Carnia, with rooms overlooking the mountains and river, buffet breakfast and free parking included.

Room types

Stella Alpina offers two room types, both designed to provide a comfortable stay in a mountain setting. All rooms feature a private bathroom with shower, bed linen, hairdryer and complimentary toiletries, as well as a desk, flat-screen TV, minibar and electric kettle for tea or coffee: details that make each room practical even for longer stays.

The Double Room with Private Bathroom, more compact, stands out for its dual view over the mountains and the river, ideal for a couple looking for peace and quiet. The Triple Room, almost twice as large, adds a panoramic balcony and space suitable for small groups or families with one child. In both cases, the property pays particular attention to cleanliness and comfort, elements repeatedly mentioned by guests in reviews.

Location & what to see

Stella Alpina is located in the heart of Paularo, one of Carnia’s most characteristic villages, on Via Marconi, just steps from the town centre. The area retains an authentic mountain atmosphere, with stone and wood houses and a slow pace of life, far from the mass tourism that characterises other, better-known Alpine destinations.

For meals outside the property, just a few minutes’ walk away: Bar Italia is about 100 metres away, Pizzeria al Fogolar is 300 metres away and Caffè Divino is 150 metres away. The Zuglio Roman Forum, an important Roman-era archaeological site, is about 10 km away, while the Terme di Arta are 15 km away. For those arriving by car, the nearest airport is Trieste-Ronchi dei Legionari, 109 km away.

In winter, the Passo del Cason di Lanza, just 5 km away, offers ski slopes and cross-country ski trails, while in summer the same pass becomes a starting point for hiking and is also a popular destination for road cycling, thanks to the bicycle rental available at the property. The proximity to the Nassfeld ski area, about 43 km away, further expands the possibilities for mountain sports. All around, the trails of Val d’Incarojo allow for walks and hikes of various levels, making Paularo a convenient base for both those seeking relaxation and those who prefer more active holidays amid nature and Carnia’s culture.

Bar Italia — Restaurant a short walk away, convenient for a quick meal 100 m
Caffè Divino — Café ideal for breakfast and informal breaks in the town centre 150 m
