The Agritur Bella di Bosco  is located in Val di Non in the municipality of Smarano. It resides on the plateau of the Predaia, one of the most  beautiful places in the valley. Smarano has an altitude of 1000 meters on level land and in a sunny location. From here, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the beautiful Dolomites of Brenta and their rocky mountain peaks. The Dolomites of Brenta are part of the Adamello-Brenta Natural Park (www.pnab.it). This is the home of various wild species, including the tawny bear.   

Towards the north east, behind Smarano rises mount Roen at an altitude of 2116 meters from the slopes of the Val di Non towards the Valle dell’Adige. This is an immense mountain known for its various atmospheres and biodiversities where one can take short walks or go hiking for the day. Towards the summit there are two barns surrounded by a great pasture, and if one looks beyond a golden eagle might be seen flying over head.

Ten minutes by car to the east of Smarano is Predaia, which is a unique area with meadows rich in colorful flowers and insects. This is a sign of little exploitation with its scarcity of water and its distance from the country.

Besides the landscaped and naturalistic wealth, the Val di Non or Anaunia boasts a great number of castles.  Some castles are in ruin from many years ago, but others are still inhabited by the descendants of powerful noble families. Fortunately, one of the larger and characteristic castles, Castel Thun, has been maintained in good condition.  It is the property of the Independent Province of Trento, and it has been undergoing renovations over recent years.

Another jewel located close to Smarano in Sanzeno is the Sanctuary of Saint Romedio, which is known in Austria and Germany for the saint’s Austrian origin. The sanctuary is situated on a high cliff. It is made up of several small chapels constructed throughout history, and the most ancient of which dates back to the XI century. A very unusual path embedded in the rocks can be taken to the Sanctuary.

The legend of Saint Romedio, a nobleman of the Austrian Thaur family, tells of a man who left all of his riches to live as a recluse on a cliff where today the sanctuary rises. One day, Romedio decided to visit Bishop Vigilio in Trento, but at the time, he was very old. Romedio decided to travel on horseback rather than walking. Unfortunately on his way to Trento, he encountered a bear that killed his horse. Romedio’s faith in God made the bear docile, and then he was able to ride on the bear's back to Trento.

Other places to visit include the historical center of Trento, the Dome of Saint Vigilio, the Castle of Buonconsiglio, the Albere Palace, the Museum Tridentino of Natural Sciences,The MART at Rovereto, and the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Trento and Bozen.

A visit to the Archaeological Museum in Bozen, South Tyrol, is worthwhile, where the celebrated man or mummy who came from the ice of Similaun (www.iceman.it) can be viewed.  This man is a perfectly conserved specimen as he was recovered with all of his equipment on the glacier of val the Senales in 1991. After numerous examinations, it has been determined that the man who came from the ice, or more affectionately known as “Ötzi”, lived 5000 years ago and died on those icy mountains assassinated by an arrow.

Another city of interest, is Meran located also in South Tyrol, famous for its spas and Mediterranean climate due to its location.
