Grandfather Giovanni Rinna was the village blacksmith. His son trained in Gröden / Gardena as an artistic metal craftsman in order to take over his father's workshop in La Villa.
Granddaughter Natalie Mellauner discovered a passion for painting in her youth. Her paintings capture the expressive nature of the Dolomites in an abstract form: Warm ochers, gold, and the leaves of the dark forests symbolize the love of homeland here in this valley of the Dolomites.
Tradition, art & Design
The unique character of the La Majun is expressed in countless details.
The handcrafted loden cushions on the sofa, the golden glow of the lamps by Catellani & Smith over the tables, or the carefully arranged flowers on the spacious panorama terrace are all evidence of this. Senior manager Roberta is a master in skillfully incorporating Ladin craftsmanship in the surroundings to give the hotel's interior a profound authenticity.
Openness, a willingness to help, and friendly camaraderie have always been the hallmarks of the Ladin culture in Alta Badia – which was still laboring under severe deprivation only a few decades ago. Maybe that's actually why in La Majun the tradition of hospitality is held in such high regard – with regards to lodgings, regional delicacies, and the many cultural and sport opportunities to be had here by vacationers in South Tyrol.

The lamps at the La Majun are designed by international artists like Ayola S. Serfaty from Israel, Ingo Maurer, Philipp Starck, and the Italian designers Catellani & Smith.
