A little quirky and with a whole lot of love
This is the part where we get to introduce ourselves! We’re Maurizio and Theodora Trebo, along with our sons Max and Moritz (yes, those cheeky lads have the perfect names). But honestly, at the Al Plan Hotel, it’s all about you – our wonderful guests – and the joy we hope your time here will bring. As Maurizio’s grandmother used to say: “A good innkeeper keeps the door open. You live with and for your guests”. That’s the warmth and hospitality we want you to feel. You’re always welcome here – even if it’s just for a quick coffee on your way through.
Our wishes for you
Arrive worn out from the daily grind, leave recharged and brimming with energy. At the Al Plan Hotel, life slows down, allowing you to tap the brakes and savour the moment. Here, you’ll find the time and space to focus on the things that bring you joy. Our wish for your stay is simple: Wake up each morning with a smile. Let happiness invite itself in with the first rays of sunlight and carry it with you throughout the day. Focus on highlighting the positives while allowing the negatives to fade into the background. And each day, treat yourself – body, mind, and soul – to something good, no matter how small.
“Believe in something bigger every day. Believe in yourself, your dreams, your wishes. Faith moves mountains – and so can you.”
Alright, alright, here’s a little bit about us
Who are we? A little quirky, a little unconventional, and brimming with love and respect for people and animals alike. Even the neighbour’s cat can’t resist stopping by for half-board! Even after all these years, the boundless beauty of the Dolomites never ceases to amaze us. That’s why we’re committed to preserving the harmony between nature, people, and wildlife. Fun fact: Here in Val Badia/Gadertal, we speak the Ladin, a Rhaeto-Romance language that’s as charming and melodic as it is likely to make you smile. In short, we don’t fit into any box – just like the Al Plan Hotel – and honestly, that’s exactly the way we like it.
Maurizio
Maurizio is the family prankster. Always up for a laugh, a little scatterbrained, a dreamer, and utterly endearing. He loves to introduce himself to guests as the “janitor”, but really, he’s a true people person. Warm and genuine, he’s always happy to sit down for a chat, share a story or two, and perhaps most famously, lead personal tours of his remarkable classic car collection.
Theodora
Theodora is the heart and soul of the house in every way. She’s the organised one, the planner, and the epitome of warmth. A quick-witted comment or a comforting hug – it’s all part of her charm. Her love for collecting rivals Maurizio’s, with her treasured coffee grinder and porcelain collection among her favourites. One birthday, Maurizio even gifted her a miniature model of an Alpine cattle drive – a testament to their shared appreciation for life’s little joys.
Max
Who’s the cheekier of the two brothers? We’ll leave that for you to decide. Max is an upbeat soul with many passions, from his expertly stocked wine cellar (he’s a sommelier) to his enthusiasm for the hotel’s own Al Plan Scuderia. Whether at the reception, serving breakfast and dinner, or chatting away at the bar –Max is always there for you with a smile and a story.
Moritz
You might not see Moritz around the hotel much – he’s a budding hockey star, gliding across rinks in Canada. When he’s home, though, he spends his free time with family – or tinkering away in his dad Maurizio’s vintage car workshop.
