Via Col Tempo offers three room types, each with a different size and its own character. The Deluxe Room, the largest at 40 sqm, has a fireplace and a balcony with mountain views; the Standard Double Room, more compact at 26 sqm, focuses on practicality with parquet flooring and a bathroom with tub or shower; the Superior Double Room, at 34 sqm, instead offers a self-contained kitchenette and a fireplace, designed for longer stays.
All rooms come with a private bathroom with bidet, courtesy set, hairdryer and bed linen included. Several room types benefit from a private entrance and views over the surrounding mountains or river. The choice between the three options mainly depends on the desired space and the presence or absence of a kitchenette, an element that clearly distinguishes the Superior from the other two available rooms.
