Take a break in the heart of the Dolomites

When we think about time, we must accept it as a great gift. Only then we can succeed in true relaxation.

Sun, Mountains, Wood, Val Gardena! Enjoyment, Culture, Nature. This rich mixture ensures an idyllic and eventful vacation.

The spirit rests, the body strengthens, the soul vibrates. Embedded in the UNESCO world heritage “Dolomites”, Val Gardena is the right spot for your holiday. The Garni Apartment “Cittadella” is a place for nature and health seekers, a place to breathe fresh mountain air, to smell mountain meadows. A retreat for an extensive conversation with yourself, a meeting place to get to know friendly people.
