Where to sleep in an isolated cabin in the woods? There are plenty of huts, farms and chalets in the Alps.

What I am telling you about today is my experience a short time ago at Baita Filadonna, a mountain hut in the woods between the peaks of the Vigolana plateau, halfway between Alpe Cimbra and Valsugana in Trentino.

Baita Filadonna is part of the Vacanze in Baita Trentino association, 82 chalets scattered throughout the valleys of Trentino, renovated and embellished with the necessary comforts for seasonal use or, if equipped with heating, for annual use, even in winter with snow.

The longed-for summer holidays are approaching, and the classic dilemma arises: sea or mountains? If you are undecided, discover how to spend a wonderful holiday in a mountain hut in Trentino!

Summer is just around the corner, and it's time to start planning our well-deserved period of relaxation. As always, the first big choice is whether to opt for the sea and beaches, or the valleys and mountain peaks. We at Sgaialand love both, and when we came across "Vacanze in Baita" we immediately thought we'd share this great little wonder with you.

It has always been our dream to stay in an authentic mountain hut and, to be honest, until recently we didn't think it was so easy to find mountain huts for rent in Trentino.

The chalet in the mountains has always seemed to us to be something distant, luxurious, expensive. One of those situations where you either have "the friend who has a cabin" or the distant relative who has left you a property or a lot of money to spend on a weekend. There are those who can and those who cannot.

We have always chosen flats and hotels for our stays in the mountains, but after our experience in Trentino with Vacanze in Baita, I have no doubt that we will go back!

I recently discovered the Vacanze in Baita Association in Trentino and have had the opportunity to stay several times in some of their facilities.

Vacanze in Baita is a brand awarded by the Autonomous Province of Trento which highlights the quality of the facilities specialising in this particular form of hospitality for holidays in nature.

In fact, all mountain huts meet minimum requirements in terms of general characteristics, internal equipment and services.
Each hut preserves its own history within its walls.
The spaces have been renovated in keeping with the tradition of local architecture.

The Valle dei Mocheni is an unspoilt valley located in Trentino on the outskirts of Trento.

There are many things to see, simple and traditional, and they must be discovered at a slow pace, in contact with the territory.
And it is here that I recommend sleeping in Valle dei Mocheni, in a traditional hut perhaps in the forest, to be in close contact with nature and the surrounding area.

In fact, I had the opportunity to stay in a structure of Vacanze in Baita, an association that has 15 huts, of various types, scattered throughout the Valle Dei Mocheni.
