Hotel Ancora

A welcoming landmark in the heart of Predazzo since 1880, where family hospitality meets Trentino cuisine, wellness and the freedom to experience the mountains.

Some places become part of a town’s history and, generation after generation, continue to welcome those who arrive. Hotel Ancora, in the centre of Predazzo, is one of them. Its story began in 1880, when it served as a stopping point where stagecoaches could change horses along the Val di Fiemme route. The spirit of hospitality, however, has remained the same.

Today, the Craffonara family continues this long tradition, with a warm and attentive approach to hospitality. A four-star hotel in the heart of the Dolomites, it is a place for those who want to enjoy an active mountain holiday while still having plenty of time to slow down, relax and feel at home.

Food is an important part of the story too. The Hotel Ancora kitchen focuses on fresh, genuine ingredients, with dishes inspired by the traditional flavours and local products of Val di Fiemme and Trentino. The day begins with a generous sweet and savoury breakfast, while returning from a day outdoors means enjoying an afternoon treat with a warm drink and homemade cakes before sitting down to dinner.

For those who want to discover the valley through its flavours, the hotel’s taverna is a particularly inviting place. It hosts tastings featuring local specialities, including Birra di Fiemme, L’Ones grappas, local cheeses and a selection of wines from Trentino. An informal and convivial way to get to know the territory, one taste at a time.

The mountains, however, are meant to be experienced beyond the dining table. Hotel Ancora is an Active Hotel, offering a programme of excursions and outdoor activities designed to help guests discover Val di Fiemme and the Dolomites. Hiking, walking, cycling and winter activities become opportunities to explore landscapes, stories and hidden corners of the valley alongside people who know it well.

And after a day outdoors, there is time to unwind in the hotel’s spa, completing a holiday that naturally brings together movement, nature, good food and moments of relaxation.

Perhaps this is the true essence of Hotel Ancora: for more than a century, it has welcomed travellers and helped them discover the valley, with the same care once reserved for those arriving by stagecoach. The ways of travelling may have changed, but the feeling of having arrived in the right place remains.
