Situated south of the glamorous centre of Cortina d’Ampezzo, this charming pine-clad apartment offers easy access to some of the best skiing, mountain biking and hiking terrain that Italy has to offer. But that's not all. It also happens to be one of the best resorts in the Dolomites for those who prefer their holidays a little less exhilarating – with winter walking, skating, boutique shopping and fine dining on offer.

With copious amounts of wood teamed with a traditional rustic mountain design, the apartment makes for a welcoming high-altitude escape for a family or group of friends. A cosy living and dining space contains sufficient corners for everyone to claim a spot, with the adjacent kitchen equipped for all your needs despite its compact size.

Elsewhere, three cosy bedrooms offer a hygge-inspired haven of comfy beds and untreated wood. Every possible effort has been made to use natural materials wherever possible. Perhaps the standout feature of the entire home is the stunning wooden bath – perfect for a luxuriant soak after a long day in the mountains.

Home truths:
*Given the location, we'd recommend hiring a car – there's on-site parking available for one vehicle
*The second bedroom contains bunk beds – the upper bunk lacks a rail, so it may not be suitable for young children
*The apartment has access to a small garden, which is not photographed
*Your host does not allow groups of young people
