Apartments: Fiocco di Neve and attic Il Nido Padola di Cadore.
The Fiocco di Neve ❄️ apartment is located in a historic building from the end of the last century.
It is 300 meters from the town square, not far from the ski slopes which can also be reached on foot. Fiocco di Neve is very comfortable, a typical mountain apartment completely renovated and furnished with fir wood from the Dolomites. It has 3 bedrooms, two of which with a double bed and one with a bunk bed, plus a camping cot for babies. We provide the mattress cover and pillowcase cover and the goose down duvet. The kitchen is equipped with crockery, pots and various utensils. In the kitchen there is a fridge, a microwave, a washing machine, a 4-burner hob, a dishwasher and a wood-burning barbecue to make magnificent barbecues even if the weather doesn't allow it. The newly renovated bathroom has a comfortable shower.
There is a small relaxation corner attached to the kitchen where you can relax on the sofa in the company of a good book or watch TV. Board games for children and books are also available. The apartment is heated both with radiators and with the traditional wood-burning Stube stove which spreads an enveloping and homogeneous heat.
We also have a delightful attic Il Nido 💚 intimate for couples or families with 3 people. It is also furnished in fir wood and located in the attic on the 3rd floor with 3 beds, an equipped kitchen and a small bathroom with shower.
There are 3 bicycles available to our guests. 🚲
The location of the house is strategic, in the heart of the Dolomites which are a UNESCO heritage site, famous throughout the world for the particular rock which can take on pink colors at sunset.

Stefano and Sappada, Auronzo, the Tre cime di Lavaredo, Lake Misurina, Cortina, Lago Braies and other lakes, Lienz and Sillian in Austria.

The Fiocco di Neve apartment ❄️ and the Il Nido attic are 💚 part of my life, especially of my childhood. Padola is the place of my heart ❤ where I feel at home, I manage remotely and I make use of Giorgia, our precious collaborator, to prepare the apartments to best welcome the guest. My desire is for my guests to have the same feeling, the house was designed to be a holiday destination for my family too and its warmth shines through in the care taken in the choice of materials and details.
If you are well, we are with you too.
We hope to be able to welcome you soon to this little village which is the pearl of Comelico. See you soon! 😉

We had a great time at Silvia's, it was fabulous to visit the Dolomites with our friends.
A moment out of time in a fabulous village off the beaten track but which has everything you could need!
From the baker, in the morning, to the butcher to the dairy! Everything was a joy.. until the village festival on the last evening.
We can't wait to show Silvia and her family Kenya!
We had the pleasure of welcoming Silvia, Maurizio and their two children.
they were fantastic guests and truly really enjoyed Kenya, the people, the environment etc...
Ali, our staff member was really fond of them. All went very well, they went back home with wonderful memories.
I highly recommend this beautiful family.
Care Nadege e Britt-Marie, vi ringraziamo per aver aperto le porte della vostra casa in Kenya.
Questo viaggio ci resterà nel cuore come uno dei migliori ricordi per la nostra famiglia. La casa è molto curata nei dettagli, ogni scelta molto gradevole. Alì ci ha preparato delle fantastiche colazioni, lo abbiamo apprezzato molto.
L'oceano è da lasciare senza fiato, l'esperienza del Safari sentirsi a contatto con la natura selvaggia, il silenzio della savana con i suoi profumi ci mancherà tantissimo.
La gente così ricca di sorrisi e parole gentili.
Siamo felici per quello che abbiamo vissuto, tristi per quello che lasciamo. Grazie per averci permesso questo favoloso scambio. Il Kenya fa parte di noi e torneremo a trovarlo❤️ Un abbraccio
Silvia,
Your words touch us and fill us with joy.
We are really delighted that you had an unforgettable time.
It is easy to fall in love with this country and the Kenyans because they are so kind and helpful.
See you soon and wishing the children a good start to the school year.
Looking forward to staying in touch, Silvia and Maurizio!
Nadège, Britt-marie and the children
we had a good time with Nadege and his family. We hosted his family and friends with joy and they were able to visit the beauties of the Dolomites. Communication was friendly and effective. The house was left tidy. Hosting Nadege was a positive experience! Now we are waiting for August to arrive so that we too can go to Kenya to his house which we haven't seen yet.
