Harmony, fun, relaxing great energy. We built this house in 2004, it's a great, relaxing place for summer, and winter retreats, you can enjoy ski resorts, great hiking, and the village of Ortisei has a great selection of shops and restaurants.

Pinaid rest on the private land and is sun drenched in summer from dawn until dusk.

Sal booked Pinaid: 17-24 January 2016, via Airbnb, so we cut and paste his review: Words are not enough to describe this beautiful house, one have to see it to appreciate its beauty. As you walk into the front door, you are met with an amazing beautiful energy, so comforting and so tranquil. The house is very luxurious and comfortable in every sense. The kitchen and dining room area is well stocked with everything one can think of and the sitting room was spacious and beautifully cozy. Bedrooms are specious and the beds were comfortable. The whole house vibrated with warm positive energy. The balcony views from the bedrooms and dinning/sitting areas were amazing. Annie the house caretaker is only minutes away to all our inquiries (Thank you Annie for everything). Travelling by car to Val de Gardina is around 20 minutes and you are at the ski slopes. I would recommend this house to anyone who appreciates beauty, comfort and tranquility.
It was breathtaking, amazing!!
The house is almost perfect with any parameter.
The location is perfect, it was very clean and well equipped.
Communication wis Annie easy and helpful.
The only thing to improve is the internet signal..mainly for the kids.
Villa Pinaid is one of the most comfortable houses we have ever stayed in - it really feels like a home but one you are lucky enough to live in rather than camping out in someone else’s & the perfect place for a large gang to gather. Beds are brilliantly comfortable, the kitchen is really well equipped & the whole house has a well thought out layout. We ski when we are here which is a bit of a drive each morning but just becomes part of the day. Amazing views and splendid isolation. We will be back!
Our group from Australia loved this place. It is big enough to have 10 people. Well equipped kitchen. Large range of DVDs and books. Wonderful views. 15 mins drive to chairlifts taking you to the top of the world. We thought it was better than the photos.
The house is situated near the end of a narrow road going up from the small village of St. Peter. There are three stories with several nice bedrooms and bathrooms and a large common room and kitchen. The place is very well equipped and the views are spectacular. WiFi is ok (a bit weak). Its a great base for trips in the area. What is missing: there are no large external play areas (court or garden, and not many internal play facilities (e.g., pool or table tennis). So there is not much to do for younger kids. On site help and advice you can get from Annie the housekeeper which is very nice and helpful, but speaks almost no english - if you are not fluent in either German or Italian, you need to take this into account. Overall a very pleasant stay.
The house, location, and views exceeded our expectations. The kitchen was superbly equipped and the attached balconies, where we often sat either drinking coffee or wine, offered ever changing views of the valley and mountains depending on the time of day. To fight off the evening chill we availed ourselves of the kachelofen in the living room. A great way to relax before going to bed. The narrow winding roads require caution and a willingness to stop and back up when meeting an oncoming vehicle at one of the blind curves. Not having access to the laundry could be a problem if you are planning to stay for longer than a week or so. We were two couples and, since the house has three floors, there was more than enough room for privacy. Bolzano, Merano, and the wine growing areas are within easy reach as is Trento, a real gem, for day trips. Do not miss Brixen or Neustift, which is located just a few kilometers from Brixen. Could not provide a higher recommendation for a group of people or large family who enjoy nature, do not mind a little driving, and welcome being far from the madding crowd.
