Residence Sport Hotel Astoria

The Resort & Its Setting

Residence Sport Hotel Astoria is an independent timeshare resort at Str. Boscdaplan, 198, in La Villa, one of the villages that make up the Alta Badia area within the Bolzano province. Google reviewers rate it 4.2 out of 5 from 124 reviews, giving prospective buyers and renters a reasonable idea of what to expect before booking. The resort is RCI-affiliated, so alongside using the week at the property itself, owners can deposit it into the RCI exchange network for a stay elsewhere.

The Area and What There Is to Do

La Villa sits within the Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage mountain landscape, which means the resort's surroundings are the main draw: skiing and snow sports from December through March, and hiking or mountain biking once the trails clear, from around June to September. Bolzano, the provincial capital, is roughly 30km away and makes for an easy day trip to see its historic centre and markets. Cortina d'Ampezzo, one of the better-known ski and mountain towns in the Dolomites, is about 35km from the resort and worth the drive for its shops, restaurants and lift access. The wider Alto Adige region has a mixed Italian and Austrian character that comes through in the food, the language you'll hear locally, and the look of the villages.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Residence Sport Hotel Astoria and want to sell, BidMyTimeshare.com works as an owner-to-owner marketplace: you list the week yourself, set your own asking price, and buyers contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission on the sale — sellers pay a one-time listing fee to get the ad live, and that's it.

Because Residence Sport Hotel Astoria is an independent, RCI-affiliated resort rather than a branded chain property, resale here is typically handled through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a corporate transfer desk. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, both sides should confirm directly with the resort what the current transfer fee is, whether any right of first refusal applies, and what the current annual maintenance fee is — these details aren't published figures we can quote here, so check them before any money changes hands. A resale buyer should also ask specifically what does and doesn't transfer with the week: the usage rights for the unit and week purchased will carry over, but any RCI membership or points balance is usually separate and needs to be set up or confirmed by the buyer afterwards, not assumed to come with the sale.

Renters, meanwhile, are usually looking for the basics: which week or season is on offer, whether it lines up with ski season or the summer hiking months, and what the unit itself includes. Owners renting out a week can list it the same way as a resale — through the marketplace, with their own price and direct contact from renters.

Practical Notes for Buyers and Owners

Anyone buying a resale week or booking a rental here should bear in mind that La Villa is a mountain village, so driving conditions and road access can differ between winter and summer — a car is genuinely useful for reaching Bolzano, Cortina, or other villages in Alta Badia at your own pace. If you plan to use the RCI exchange rather than stay at the resort itself, book early, since RCI deposits for Alpine ski weeks tend to move faster during the December–March window.
