Da Velio

1 queen bedroom

In order to fully enjoy and appreciate life in the mountains away from the comforts we are used to, such as electricity always available or cellular connection always active and stable, you need to be prepared and aware. Otherwise we suggest you to choose among other apartments of our Spread Hotel, maybe best suited to your needs. The house in Faas is the perfect example of the blend of artistic architecture and nature. The project for the restoration of an old barn transformed into this mountain meditative refuge immersed in the middle of alpine peaks comes from an architect who is a native of the But Valley and, therefore, who has the perfect knowledge of the environment that houses the building, besides being a member of the owning family. The house is fully independent on the energetic side. Electricity, enough to power utilities if the day is sunny, is provided by solar panels. The refrigerator is powered by gas, water for hygienic and food is recycled from the slopes of the roof while drinking water comes from a flow on site. Heating is provided by two powerful wood burning stoves and all the property is fully insulated to retain warmth without dispersion. Essentially furnished and developed on two levels, it has a living area with kitchenette and living room with spectacular views of the Gamspitz (Piz Suede) that stands out among the other mountains of the Carnic Alps near the border with Austria. The sleeping area has three beds (one double and one single) and a bathroom / shower. Directly from the bedroom you can get out on the front lawn, which is about 2 hectares large, where it is placed a gas grill for outdoor cooking with a backdrop of natural beauty and quiet. In summer it is easily accessible by car as it is a twenty minutes detour far from the main road heading to the Plöckenpass, but in winter it is necessary to leave the car near the town of Cleulis and walk with snowshoes or touring skis for a half hour trip. For this reason, the apartment in Faas is offered only during the summer season from May to October. The sense of time is marked by a quiet and meditative reflection to the outside, but from inside. The grand glass wall allows viewing of the nature and the sky, where the change of light during the day gives depth and color, continuously renewed. An almost unknown or rediscovery attention to the slow running of time that passes imperceptibly and continuously transforms everything.
