The proposed business project is to start a guest house called Edelweiss Alp, located in a strategic area of ​​Castello Tesino with a large tourist influx. The main objective is to provide visitors with a comfortable and unforgettable experience, while contributing to the development of local tourism.

Focus Area

The guest house is located in a central area, easily accessible, close to the ski lifts and numerous walks. The structure offers a diversified range of rooms, each tastefully furnished enhancing the historic nature of the building, equipped with all modern comforts, including free Wi-Fi and private bathrooms. In addition, additional services such as breakfast included and agreements with the many activities available in the area will be implemented. A distinctive aspect of the project is the attention to the well-being of guests through rooms with private spa or dedicated wellness treatments, which promote relaxation. This approach not only improves the customer experience, but also promotes a sustainable and responsible image of the guest house.

Financing

The start-up phase requires careful financial planning: renovation of the spaces, furnishings, initial marketing and operating expenses for the first six months. Thanks to the Rural Development Programme 2014-2020 of the Autonomous Province of Trento and Operation 19.2.1 “implementation of interventions within the SLTP strategy”, through action 6.4 sub.
