Hotel Villa Argentina has a faithful clientèle that for decades has been coming back again and again to enjoy this enchanting place with the refined welcome that Giovanni Menardi and his mother Nicoletta reserve for their “old friends”.

Those staying at the hotel for the first time will learn of the Gillarduzzi family, who intrepidly embarked on their enterprise as hoteliers at a time when tourism at Cortina was in its infancy. 

Leafing through the albums of postcards and photos of yesteryear, one is surprised at how many film stars, politicians and renowned writers have stayed in the rooms of the hotel, all of them enamoured of Cortina's loveliest “balcony in the sun“.

Almost all of the hotel's rooms face south, with wooden balconies looking out on breathtaking views of the mountains of Cortina.
