La Giovanella Holiday Home

Location


Built at the beginning of the 20th Century and then lovingly restored, La Giovannella is a characteristic country house located on the sunny side of Monte Telva. Surrounded by rolling lawns, everyday life here is very simple and follows the rhythm of the old church’s bells of the village.

Our "CUBA"

This place, which is now a leisure centre, hosted cattle until the 60s. The animals were used to produce milk and sometimes as a mean to pull farm loads. During the dark rainy evenings or simply during the winter, people of the area gathered here to listen to traditional poems, known as filò, which sometimes lasted until very late at night. Here love blossomed, debates were solved, people did business or gave advice. It was a kind of village parlour.

The Nature

The location of the house allows you to take relaxing walks or bicycle tours on the smooth pre-alpine slopes sprinkled with villas, castles and sacred places. It is also possible to go hiking at different levels in the Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park, totally surrounded by the luxuriant nature.
