The Barn.
The chalet is located 9 km from the nearest town with services, Caprile. The small village has no facilities other than a post office, open two days a week, and a seasonal restaurant/bar. It is therefore perfect for those seeking a vacation of total relaxation and tranquility, surrounded by nature.
Located at 1,550 meters above sea level (even summer evenings can be chilly here!) in the small hamlet of Moè di Laste, its wood and stone bear the marks of almost a century of history, and perhaps much more. The current structure dates back to 1924, but like many buildings in these valleys, its origins likely date back much further—as does the church of San Gottardo, which now replaces the 15th-century sacred building. The barn is located where the road ends, on the edge of the village, at a point where modernity seems to slow down and give way to memory. From here, the ancient forest road begins that once connected Moè to the villages of Davedino and Ornella, continuing toward Livinallongo and Arabba: a route now difficult to navigate even on foot, but which powerfully speaks to the network of relationships and exchanges that once animated the mountain communities.
 
The building is a typical construction of rural Ladin architecture, constructed of limestone at the base and larch and fir wood on the upper floors. It originally housed the stable on the ground floor and the hayloft above, covering a total area of ​​approximately 130 square meters. In the process of transforming it into a residence, the choice was made to respect its original soul: every intervention was designed to preserve materials, volumes, and elevations, maintaining the overall effect intact. Only on the lower floor, intended for the bedrooms, were a few partitions introduced to create two rooms and a bathroom, while the rest of the spaces remained virtually unchanged. The resulting atmosphere is essential and authentic. Local materials—natural stone, weathered wood, wrought iron hinges—combine in a natural balance. The open, bright spaces invite sharing and socializing, a slow and profound way of living, in harmony with the surrounding Dolomite landscape.
The hay barn has become the area where we spend most of our time, a single room with the kitchen, an extendable table, a sofa, and two comfortable armchairs in front of one of the windows. From here, you can access the terrace overlooking the valley (in the morning sun) and the lawn. It’s a simple space that evokes conviviality and togetherness. The house is surrounded by a private lawn, a garden for relaxing on loungers, enjoying moments in the sun, or enjoying meals al fresco.
 

The rooms.

There are two bedrooms, one double and one with a queen-size bed, on the first floor. Accessed by a terrace, they receive plenty of morning light.

The attic.

On the top floor, the attic, which can accommodate up to four people and is connected to the living area by an open staircase, thus not completely soundproofed, offers two double beds. This, too, is a single, open space, without any dividers. Perhaps the most charming place to sleep.
