The concept for the hotel was inspired by its location – two lakes and a green valley surrounded by the steep, forested slopes of Belluno’s Alpine foothills, where the dominating element is the woodlands. This was the key factor on which Daniele Menichini’s architect’s studio based their project and Toscana Interiors carried it out. The woods were abstracted and reconstructed inside the bedrooms to create a link with the outside, featuring sycamore, linden, willow, birch, poplar, elm, beech and sweet chestnut trees. Trees outside and trees indoors, creating a comfortable and welcoming environment, a warm and physical place to spend the night, dreaming of sleeping outdoors under a starry sky.
