Q: What are your hopes for the hotel once it opens?
A: We hope Hotel La Posta becomes a sanctuary for guests seeking serenity, wellness, culture and history.
By blending modern luxury with tradition, we aim to create a timeless retreat that reflects our commitment to unpretentious elegance, environmental sustainability and warm hospitality.
The transformation from Albergo Posta Marcucci to La Posta (reopening on March 7) marks the final phase of this journey. This five-star upgrade and the adoption of a new identity preserve the property’s historical roots while aligning it with La Perla in Corvara, Casa Costa 1956’s flagship.
This connection reflects our shared vision of luxury deeply rooted in local traditions, landscapes and personalised guest care.

Q: Finally, what sets your hotel apart from others in the location?
A: La Posta stands apart through its rich history, unpretentious luxury and deep connection to the local community and environment.
