In 1956, two Italian families each opened a hotel: Ernesto and Anni Costa launched La Perla in Corvara in the Dolomites, while the Marcucci family opened La Posta in Bagno Vignoni, Tuscany.

The two families became friends, and the Costas became regular guests at La Posta over the years. When the Marcuccis decided to sell, the Costas acquired the property, bringing it into the Casa Costa 1956 collection.

This year, both properties celebrate their 70th anniversary and the Costa family is marking the occasion in the way they know best: around the table.

“Seventy years are not built by walls alone, but by people,” says Michil Costa, owner of Casa Costa 1956. “By guests who return, by conversations shared around the table, by the beauty of the mountains, and by generations of people who have dedicated their lives to this house. La Perla has always tried to remain faithful to something simple: hospitality that comes from the heart and creates genuine human connection.”

THE 70TH ANNIVERSARY OFFER — LA PERLA & LA POSTA

Available for stays from 5 June to 20 December 2026, minimum three nights.

The anniversary offer is available on lead-in room rates, with all additions entirely complimentary, and can be booked directly or through the trade. Rooms at La Posta from €300 per night. Rooms at La Perla from €693 per night.

THE LA PERLA GOURMET EXPERIENCE

A three-night gastronomic journey – available throughout the summer season

This summer, the hotel introduces the La Perla Gourmet Experience – a three-night stay structured as a curated journey through three entirely distinct expressions of its culinary world, each shaped by seventy years of hospitality philosophy.

Guests arrive to a gourmet in-room welcome and a bottle of house champagne. Over three evenings, a reserved table awaits at each of La Perla’s signature restaurants:

Bistrot & Music Club — A vibrant, contemporary setting where fresh international flavours meet refined cocktails and live music. Three courses. Lively, social and effortlessly stylish.

Les Stües — Six Ladin stube from the 1600s, where aged wood and soft candlelight hold the room perfectly still. Italian cuisine expressed with seasonal authenticity and deep local roots. Four courses.

La Stüa de Michil — The Michelin-starred heart of La Perla. Chef Simone Cantafio’s tasting menu brings together creativity and precision, shaped by close relationships with local producers and an unwavering connection to the surrounding landscape. An experience to be savoured slowly, with all the senses.

The experience can be enhanced, upon request and at a supplement, with a wine pairing at La Stüa de Michil, a private cooking class in the Michelin-starred kitchen, or an aperitivo with Chef Simone Cantafio.

The La Perla Gourmet Experience is available throughout the summer season for a minimum of three nights and can be booked directly or through the trade. From €2,297 for 3 nights.

Hotel La Perla, the independently owned five-star hotel in the heart of the Dolomites and the first member of The Leading Hotels of the World in South Tyrol, opens its 2026 summer season on 5 June. Part of the Casa Costa 1956 collection, La Perla is joined for the summer season by its sister Dolomite properties – Berghotel Ladinia, a historic 13-room inn in Corvara, and Bio Hotel Gran Fodá in San Vigilio di Marebbe — all opening on 5 June 2026. Together, the houses reflect the Costa family’s vision of intimate, deeply human hospitality rooted in the culture, landscapes and rhythms of the mountains.
