Castello Fai is a truly unique and exceptional accommodation nestled in the Dolomites! We were a family of 7 traveling with our adult children and their spouses from the USA to Fai della Paganella. We rented both units, so we had three on suite bedrooms and then our 22 year old son stayed on the pullout sofa in the large living room. The entire unit was exquisite, filled with antiques and paintings which told the historical story of the family that owns the Castello Fai. Our children loved the high tech sound system which connected to our phones blue tooth for a great music system in every room. Each bedroom was well appointed with a large armoire for clothing space, a comfortable bed with down pillows and duvets. The entire Castello was newly renovated and each bathroom was gorgeous! We had access to both kitchens and each one was appointed with a dishwasher, sink, and a refrigerator. Both kitchens were well stocked with dishes, cutlery, pots, pans, wine glasses, coffee cups, etc. The owners provided nice touches by providing olive oil, spices, paper towels, etc. We used the coffee and replaced it with a brand new one for the next renters. The espresso machine was a very nice touch! We never cooked in the Castello because we ate out every evening, but if we had wanted to, the kitchen would truly be great to make meals! The view outside of the Castello is stunning! We spent most of our time either drinking coffee in the backyard in the morning, and drinks in the front yard in the evening before going out to dinner. There is a nice grocery store over the castle wall and all the restaurants are walking distance from Castello Fai. We hiked above lake Molveno and Andola ski area. The information office in town can give you great ideas and directions to all the nearby hikes and places to see.
Frowin and his family were extremely helpful and kept in continuous conversation with us before and during our stay. Access to the castle was easy with a card access lock by the front door (no keys necessary which was brilliant), plenty of parking was available along the Castel wall. Our stay was truly magnificent, we definitely want to go back and stay during the winter and try out the local ski areas! We have fallen in love with Italy and Castello Fai! 🇮🇹🍷♥️
