Avis Spacious penthouse at d'Ampezzo Cortina, the pearl of the Dolomites

The views from the balcony are stunning and the location is perfect for accessing restaurants, bars and shopping. We each had our own comfortable rooms while having ample space for meals and socializing. Host was gracious and quick to respond with any questions. We visited in early June and while many Refugio's were not open, we felt like we had the hikes to ourselves. Amazing trip!

We had a great time in Cortina and this place was perfect for our group. Thanks again!

Great location and good communications.

very clean, homy and well located.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 6 days / 5 nights in this VERY spacious Cortina penthouse. There were 8 of us and we had plenty of room. The view from the balcony was fantastic. And there is no need to drive once you arrive as very centrally located . Louella, the caretaker, was extremely helpful and was available 'on call' if we needed her for anything. Noted: there are multiple steps to this 4th floor penthouse. We had no problem with them (needed the execise) but may be a problem if someone is handicapped. There is wench available that can lift the heavy luggage to the top floor...which we used and greatly appreciated. We highly recommend this property.

The penthouse occupies the top two floors of a four-story building a ten-minute walk from central Cortina, with a balcony looking out over the valley to the 10,000-foot Tofana. We were a group of seven, and with five bedrooms and three bathrooms, we never felt cramped. The minor problems we had were responded to promptly. Those with mobility issues should be aware that there are 60 steps from the street to the front door. Highly recommended!

This is an excellent rental centrally located in Cortina. We are 5 active adults, aged mid-60s to early 70s, who were fortunate to stay in this comfortable property for 5 nights in early July 2018. The apartment is described accurately and fairly on the Homeaway website. We found it to be very spacious with good privacy and comfort for 5 people, although it could easily accommodate more. It was clean and well furnished. We appreciated the access to multiple bathrooms. The rental served us well as a home base for day hiking and touring in the area, as well as for local dining and shopping. We tended to eat breakfasts and some dinners “in” and found the kitchen and dining areas well equipped and more than adequate. Central Cortina is less than a 15 minute walk away, even less if you walk faster than we do. We did our food shopping at the nearby Kangaru, which is a decent-sized, well stocked supermarket that unfortunately offers very limited parking, so be prepared for that. Although we never met Alessandro personally, we found him to be a very friendly, responsive, and accommodating host. For example, when one of our party became the victim of a theft of personal documents (in Venice), Alessandro graciously agreed to help facilitate the receipt of replacement documents from the U.S. on an emergency basis. We also greatly enjoyed meeting and talking with Lorella. Some caveats: The location can be difficult to find at first. It may help to know that house is up a steep driveway located directly across the street from the IP gas station, which is hard to miss. As some reviewers have noted, the trek up the stairs to the apartment may be a bit challenging. Certainly it will be inadvisable for people with mobility issues. We found it tiring, particularly with luggage or backpacks, but not a significant obstacle. Finally, the wifi provider frequently denied us access to coverage. Although this was very frustrating, it never rose beyond the annoyance level and did not seriously compromise our visit. On the intermittent occasions when wifi did work, it was excellent. If and when we (hopefully) return to Cortina we look forward to staying at this apartment again. Thank you Alessandro.

Really nice appartament close to both the center of Cortina and the Falorilift.

Enjoyed our stay here. Plenty of beds for everyone, and everything was clean and well kept. The stairs were challenging after a long day of skiing, and it's a little bit of a walk from the center of town, but some people might prefer that. All in all, a good spot.

Casa molto confortevole e ben tenuta. Completa di ogni accessorio e con vista sia dal balcone in fronte che sul retro spettacolare. 360 gradi di panorama sulle Dolomiti. Unico neo: 3* piano senza ascensore.
