Hotel Ustaria Posta Alta Badia
✭✭✭ Hotel Ustaria Posta run by the Tavella family in the village of Badia, formerly known as Pedraces in the Alta Badia. Badia is situated perfectly for access to hiking and
mountain bike trails as well as a ski lift just a few minutes away by foot.
If you are a cyclist, the history of this hotel is extensive. The owner, Eduard Tavella, is the founder of the Maratona dles Dolomites. Each summer, beginning in mid June, the hotel fills with cyclists from all over the world causing the the energy to soar. Bike clothes hang thick from the balconies
and beer flows alongside the Enervit. I like this family so much I requested to be adopted so I could spend my days working in this fun, relaxed hotel.
There is a cycling storage area and room to work and clean bikes.

My home away from home in the Dolomites! For any cyclists, runners, hikers, or skiiers, this really is THE BEST LOCATION and place to stay to access all of the Dolomites. I spent three amazing weeks in July cycling and staying at the Tavella’s and every aspect of my stay was amazing! The service and amenities were excellent, and the whole family make it their goal to help me enjoy all the Dolomites have to offer. Igor is THE MAN when it comes to cycling routes and advice, maps, etc. And if you’re lucky you may get a chance to try to hold his wheel on one of his quick pre-lunch rides. Food is amazing and traditional. They even have a natural ice bath to get the legs ready for the next day of riding passes. If you want any more specific info on my stay and review ask me; alexnberra (at) hotmail (dot) com

I stayed here last summer with my parents and brother and we loved it. We arrived pretty early for the summer season but the Tavella family made us feel at home the whole time. The rooms were well appointed, there is wifi access if you need it, and the food was great. There were always a few locals at the restaurant \ bar just hanging out.
Igor Tavella is a great proprietor. This was our first time in the area and he was always ready to answer any questions we had and give us suggestions for sightseeing and bike routes. None of the bike rental shops were open in the early season but he called a friend and hooked my brother and I up with bikes for the day.
Can’t wait to take a winter trip here!
