Avete camere con vista sulle montagne?

Do you have rooms with mountain views?

Pronunciation

'Montagne' — stress the second syllable: 'mon-TA-gne'. The GN makes a nasal palatal sound like 'ny'.

When to use it

Use when booking mountain hotels in the Alps, Dolomites, or Apennines where the view is a key feature of the stay.

What it means

'Vista sulle montagne' = 'view of the mountains'. 'Sulle' = 'su + le' (on the + plural). Mountain views in Italian Alpine hotels are a major selling point. 'Panorama' is often used interchangeably with 'vista'.

Variations

'Afacciarsi' = to overlook/face — common in hotel descriptions

Mini Dialogue

Avete camere con vista sulle montagne? Sì, tutte le camere fronte nord hanno la vista sulle Dolomiti. Si vede il tramonto sulle cime? S'illuminano d'oro — uno spettacolo unico.

Do you have rooms with mountain views? Yes, all the north-facing rooms have a view of the Dolomites. Can you see the sunset on the peaks? They light up in gold — a unique spectacle.

Cultural Note

The 'Alpenglow' phenomenon — called 'enrosadira' in the Ladin language of the Dolomites — turns the limestone peaks pink, orange, and gold at sunrise and sunset. UNESCO designated the Dolomites a World Heritage Site in 2009. Mountain hotels design rooms specifically to capture this view.
