Hospitality – Passion – Tradition: Family Kostner

The people in our house are what make the hotel and the whole atmosphere unique! And this already for over 70 years!

Hospitality, tradition and passion have been our strengths since 1950. Our small family-run Hotel in Selva di Val Gardena is characterized by love, smiles and South Tyrolean humor!

What we really love:

Welcoming you with open arms at the reception
We start the day with a smile and a "Bon di", which means “Good morning” in our mother language Ladin
Surprising you with a yummy cappuccino
Giving you personal hiking and skiing tips for an unforgettable day
Don't miss a funny joke at the bar with Klaus
"What wine goes with this dish?" David will be happy to advise you
Special requests or concerns? Susanna will take care of it...
Every day we try to make you experience unforgettable moments and memories at Hotel Freina … we can’t wait to meet you soon!

It’s time to get to know us better…

Klaus

Most of the time you'll find him behind the bar, but also shovelling the snow or at reception, where he will give you the best hiking tips! He is the host and owner of the house, but he can best be described as an enthusiastic builder and architect. Because he is always tinkering with new ideas on how to improve and beautify the house.

Susanna

Definitely our soul of the house! She welcomes you at the reception, ALWAYS with a smile. Every wish of the guest is fulfilled quickly and with joy...just try it out sometime, she really can do magic :-)

David

Our wine lover and cocktail master will be happy to create a special cocktail for you at the bar. How about a "Freina Special" or an Espresso Martini? In the dining room, he will be happy to recommend a wine to match the menu.

Verena

The mother of twin boys Mattia and Tobia; she is full of energy and always has a smile on her face. In the evenings, she is a passionate hostess in the dining room and organises events and weddings with an exceptional eye for detail. Always full of ideas for improvement, she also manages marketing and social media, bringing creativity and professionalism to her role as event planner. If you see elegant decorations around the hotel, chances are they're her work!

Alex

The youngest son lives and works in Dubai - which gives us the perfect excuse to escape to the warmth and visit him. When he's back home, he's always happy to lend a hand at the bar and entertain our guests with his sense of humour.

Mattia & Tobia – the fresh twin duo

Our twin boys, the youngest members of the family, were born in December 2021. Adorable, full of energy and always smiling, they fill every corner with joy. How can you resist their sweetness?
