Residence Borgo Al Sole

The Resort and Its Setting

Residence Borgo Al Sole sits in Borgata Lerpa, within the alpine village of Sappada, at the edge of the Dolomites in Udine province. It's an independently managed timeshare resort, carrying an RCI affiliation that gives owners access to RCI's exchange network alongside their fixed or floating week at the property. Guest reviews put the resort at 4 out of 5 from 512 reviews, reflecting a solid, well-established mountain lodging option rather than a resort-chain property. Sappada itself is known for its Tyrolean-style architecture and a quieter village pace, distinct from the bigger Dolomite resort towns.

Sappada and the Dolomites: What There Is to Do

Sappada is a genuine alpine village rather than a purpose-built resort town, which means owners and renters get real mountain culture alongside the scenery. The Dolomites themselves start just a few kilometres away, with the classic Great Dolomite Road and dramatic peaks within easy reach. Cortina d'Ampezzo, host of the 2026 Winter Olympics, is about 35 km away, putting serious skiing and alpine glamour within day-trip distance. Hikers can reach Lake Sorapis, famous for its turquoise water, and the UNESCO-listed Tre Cime di Lavaredo peaks, both well-known trekking destinations in the region. Belluno, the historic provincial capital, adds Renaissance architecture and a proper regional town centre to the mix. Winters bring skiing and snowshoeing; summers open up hiking, mountain biking, and long mountain drives, giving a week here year-round appeal whatever month an owner books.

Selling or Renting Out a Week Here

If you own a week at Residence Borgo Al Sole and are thinking about selling or renting it out, BidMyTimeshare.com is a direct owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week yourself, set your own asking price, and buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission taken on the sale — sellers pay only a one-time listing fee to get their week in front of genuine buyers.

Because Residence Borgo Al Sole is independently run, any resale transfer goes through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a branded headquarters process. Before agreeing on a price with a buyer, ask the resort management directly for the current transfer fee and the latest annual maintenance fee — these figures aren't published centrally and can change year to year, so get them in writing rather than relying on old listings. Confirm with management what carries over to a resale buyer: typically this means the week or points entitlement itself, while any RCI membership enrolment may need to be set up separately by the new owner, since RCI affiliation is tied to the resort rather than automatically transferring with every sale. Ask about typical transfer timelines too, as these vary from resort to resort.

What Renters and Buyers Tend to Ask For

Renters and resale buyers interested in Sappada are usually drawn by the alpine setting itself — proximity to the Dolomites, winter skiing, summer hiking, and an authentic village rather than a built-up resort strip. Many will ask whether RCI exchange is included with ownership, what week or season the unit covers, and what the current annual fee amounts to, so it's worth having those answers ready before listing.

Practical Notes for Visiting or Checking In

Sappada doesn't have its own airport, so visitors typically fly into Venice Marco Polo or Innsbruck and drive in from there. English is less widely spoken in smaller Dolomite villages than in larger Italian cities, so a few basic Italian phrases go a long way. Both winter and summer are considered peak seasons locally, so owners renting out a week should expect most enquiries to cluster around ski months and summer hiking season, and should list or book well ahead of either.
