Dolomite Chalet
Pliscia, Italy
Between Mountains and Meadows
This gorgeous chalet nestled in the tiny Italian village of Pliscia is a striking combination of blackened timber exterior and minimalist white interiors. We love its simplicity and simultaneous attention to detail. Plus its location, between mountains and meadows, is breathtaking.
This elegant, minimalist Italian chalet is the creation of a husband-and-wife team of architects. From the outside, it's an austere black, with strong lines and angles, and a pop of color in its window boxes.
Inside, however, it's the opposite - a minimally-furnished space, with white walls, floors and ceilings. Furnishings are a curious combination of vintage and rustic, deliberately mismatched, and the whole house is softened by natural blond woods and fibers such as sheepskins, cowhide and woolen Loden cloth curtains.
The home is spread over two floors, with a living area on the lower level. Eccentric features include the Gothic-style chairs with keyhole backs designed by Tyrolean company Haidacher, and the curved coffee table. Large windows let in lots of natural light, and window-ledge recesses make a perfect perch for admiring the snowy backdrop.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
The first floor consists of the living room, as well as a well-equipped kitchen, a sofabed, a flat-screen satellite TV, toys, a selection of books and magazines, and a bath with rain-shower, bathtub and WC. The second floor has two double bedrooms.
AROUND
The house is located at 1,200m, in the majestic South Tirol Dolomites, and in the village of Pliscia, with its 23 inhabitants, four farmhouses, one church, and countless deer. In Pliscia, guests can get dairy and fresh milk direct from the farmyard, and a neighbor handcrafts keys and cribs from wood.
Pliscia is located just 3km from Enneberg, and a further 4km from St. Vigil, base of the Kronplatz Ski Resort. The nearby Valley of Pederü offers a 15km-long cross-country track, as well as diverse downhill slopes. The nearby Fanes-Sennes Park is a year-round destination for touring, mountain-biking and climbing.
