We, the “new” owners, try to honor the beauty and uniqueness of Pai
From an ancient stone mill springs the story of this enchanting place. It is the year 1750, and here in the hamlet of Pai, a mill stands where the villagers bring their ripe olives to be transformed into precious, golden oil. In the same building, after nearly a century, pilgrims and travelers pause from their journey to refresh themselves and find a bit of peace.
In the 1920s, the humble inn transformed into a small guesthouse. Initially, it catered to the workers engaged in constructing the Gardesana road. Once the construction was completed, it began welcoming the first tourists in search of a mild climate, breathtaking landscapes, and delicious cuisine.
Since the post-war period, the Moscolo family, native to the area, has been taking care of what is gradually transforming into a small hotel. Here, Maria, one of the family’s daughters, spends her summers welcoming tourists from all over Europe…
…and then we come along. We fell in love with this place in 2008 and started gradually renovating every corner over the following years. As native residents of this area, we do our best to honor the tradition of hospitality and rediscovering the territory.
A lot of time has passed since the beginning, and many things have changed. The guesthouse has become a 3-star hotel, a few tourists have turned into many, and the small kitchen has transformed into a restaurant with a panoramic terrace.
In short, almost everything has changed, except for the mill. It is still here, solid and unchanging, observing those who come and go, a witness to our continuous improvement and the timeless charm of the lake.
